I will sue whoever said I resigned – Defence Minister, Musa

The Minister of Defence, General Christopher Musa, rtd, has said that he would take a legal action against whoever said he resigned from his position.

General Musa said this on Tuesday shortly after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Recall that there were rumours suggesting that the former Chief of Defense Staff had resigned.

He had earlier denied the rumour in a statement through his media aide, Leah Katung-Babatunde.

“I was shocked when I heard and saw that. I don’t know where that came from. But expect that there’ll be people that will not be happy when things are going on well.

“Security situation has improved, things are getting better. And so for them, it’s a sad point, and they will always want to make it look as if it’s not so.

“I’m not going anywhere. I have never discussed that with anybody. I don’t even know the person who brought that information. But whoever he is, we will take a legal action against him when we get him to come and who gave him such information.

“But I assure Nigerians that we are free. You can see I just came back from briefing the President on the current security situation, and he’s very happy with us.

“And now we’re going to continue doing well, and I want to seize this opportunity to appreciate Nigerians for all the support. The support has been massive, and you can see the changes.

“That’s where we say that to defeat terrorists and bandits is a whole of societal approach. And now Nigerians are keying into it, and things are getting better, and they will continue to improve,” he said.
