The Office of the Minister of Defence has debunked circulating rumours that Minister General Christopher Gwabin Musa intends to step down from his position.
In a press release signed on Tuesday by Leah Katung-Babatunde, Special Assistant (Media) to the Honourable Minister of Defence, described the claims as “a malicious and an entirely fabricated rumour” spreading across online platforms.
“The attention of the Office of the Honourable Minister of Defence has been drawn to a malicious and an entirely fabricated rumour circulating across various online and social media platforms alleging that the Honourable Minister, General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd) OFR, has expressed an intention to step down from his position,” the statement noted.
The statement emphasised that the rumours are “absolute falsehood borne out of complete mischief.”
It affirmed the minister’s continued dedication, “General Christopher Gwabin Musa (Rtd) remains fully focused on his national security mandate, deeply committed to his duties, and completely dedicated to piloting the nation’s defence strategy with results already being seen.”
The office urged the public and media to disregard the “fake news” and always seek official clarifications before sharing unverified information.
