The Office of the Minister of Defence has dismissed as false and malicious reports circulating on social media claiming that the Minister, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd), planning to resign from office.
In a statement signed by the Special Assistant (Media) to the Minister of Defence, Leah Katung-Babatunde, the ministry described the claim as a fabricated rumour designed to mislead the public, stressing that the minister has no intention of stepping down from his position.
The statement said General Musa remained fully focused on his national security mandate, deeply committed to his duties, and dedicated to driving Nigeria’s defence strategy, with tangible results already being recorded.
The ministry urged members of the public to disregard the misinformation and cautioned media organisations and social media users against spreading unverified reports. It also advised journalists and the public to seek clarification from the Office of the Minister of Defence before publishing or sharing information concerning the minister.
