The Federal Government has dismissed as false and misleading reports circulating on social media alleging that the Minister of Defence, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd.), is planning to resign from office.
In a statement issued on Monday by the Minister’s Special Assistant on Media, Leah Katung-Babatunde, the Office of the Minister described the reports as “malicious” and “entirely fabricated,” urging Nigerians to disregard the claims.
The statement reaffirmed that General Musa remains fully committed to his responsibilities and continues to oversee the implementation of the Federal Government’s national defence and security agenda.
It stressed that the minister is focused on strengthening Nigeria’s security architecture and remains dedicated to delivering on his mandate.
The government also urged the public and media organisations to verify information through official channels before publishing or sharing reports, warning against the spread of unverified information.
Reiterating its position, the Federal Government confirmed that General Christopher Musa remains in office and continues to discharge his duties as Minister of Defence.
