BREAKING: Ex-Defence Chief Christopher Musa Set To Replace Badaru Abubakar As Nigeria’s Defence Minister.

Alhaji Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, who resigned Monday night as Nigeria’s Defence Minister, is set to be replaced by former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, top government sources told SaharaReporters.

It will be recalled that Gen. Musa met with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Monday evening. This marked his first public meeting with the President since Tinubu retired him on October 24, 2025.


Sources told SaharaReporters that during the meeting, President Tinubu informed Musa that he would “succeed Badaru as Defence Minister”.

In a letter dated December 1, sent to President Bola Tinubu, Abubakar said he was quitting on health grounds, Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said in a statement on Monday.

If you doubt Trump, then at your own perils. At the right time, Trump will strike. The end of islamists jihadists terrorists must come

Did Tinubu go to his house and beg him to do that dirty job ? The answer is NO. He needed a job and the only way to get the job is to defend nonsense

They Don't care who will pay the depts. They feel that after 8years they will no longer be there and the wahala is on top whoever is in power as at that time. Heartless leaders

He did a dirty job and now he was paid.

This happened after the million dollars he received for declaring a technical glitches in the cause of the election.

House of assembly and Senate plus Reps, No glitches, but because obi was leading and flogging Tinubu mercilessly, Mahmood declared technical glitches just to save jagaban from defeat, then technical glitches emerged.

We know what happened in that election and God will disgrace all of you one day

Bishop kukah na you be this Wonders shall never end. This man has lost it totally.

I started noticing his strange behavior after this corrupt govt gave him an appointment.

Anybody that Tinubu cannot corrupt does not exist

All your generation but now and the ones yet unborn cannot produce a figure like kanu. Continue hating

Jakpon:
We have another Shekau wannabe in Igboland. Fortunately this one has been tamed and he is currently caged in a Sokoto Gulag

Shekau.

A worrioor to northern Muslims.

A great defender ofmuhammed and Islam.

A holy jihadists fighter

The post is absolutely correct and I agree with you on all

That hypocritical old grey headed ronu is nothing but a tribal jingoist

They did what they did because he was igbo

Islam is a disease that need to be eradicated

That one is impossible even ithman Dan fodio try it but he was killed in benue

Kanu have to suffer persecution because he is Igbo. But one thing is certain, this Injustice will consume this nation because Injustice omotosho was just carried away by emotions because he felt the guy kanu insults him

Injustice omotosho was just carried away by emotions because he felt the guy kanu insults him

Are you making this up or is real

I got info that the nowdisgraced country was also there

They should release kanu immediately and not only releasing him, all the concerns of the South East as echoed by kanu should be adequately addressed

Bello turji is a blessing to Islam and islamists jihadists terrorists

madridguy:
No one can blackmail the presidency. Kanu is a terrorist.

Injustice omotosho was even quoting the Bible ok

But he should wait for God's judgement because he that kills the innocent shall die and the punishment of the almighty God shall be upon his head Isaiah chapter

The plan of islamists terrorists jihadists worldwide is to establish Islamic government but it won't work here

There is no day you won't hear bad news in this planet

After allowing him to destroy your party and make all your governors defect

The government of buhari and the government of the APC are afraid of the truth. That's why they kept this man behind bars

Islamists terrorists jihadists deserves no pity. God bless Israel the people with good heart

49k but you collected egumnje for 35 years true or false

The igbos are very nice people same as the yoruba but the problem is the politicians. The smashed the heads of the gulibles most especially the yorubas.

They are ready to sacrifice their own just to see the igbos are ridiculed.

Imagine them calling the Labour party governorship candidate in Lagos "omo ibo". Some say "shinedu".

Some said Igbo want to take over Lagos State etc.

These politicians will use them to cause division and acrimony among themselves and after using that to achieve their aims, they toss them away and allowed them to suffer in abject poverty.

If them like make them nor get sense. They should continue dancing to the tune of politicians. Them must learn [b][/b]

Muslim Muslim ticket was a conspiracy against Christians. let Tinubu repeat same again in 2027 let's see

What did OBJ even saw in this man that he made him CBN governor? Tufiakwa! The length some desperate characters can go to please Tinubu. He now joins the bandwagons of them that like to throw jabs at obi.

The next thing you will see him in APC where they will dish him same meal they served Obonnaya Onu and Rochas Okorocha. I was thinking Joe Igbokwe was the only Judas in the east I never knew someone that is worst than Joe would ever emerged . Usel..ssss prof

Bangladesh becareful ooo. We started shariah here in Nigeria and since then no peace. You want to invite islamists jihadists to your peaceful cowntry too

I was among people against this Amupitan initially because I felt Tinubu wanted to use him to rig election but with this new issue, I dey his bag gidigba. Nobody can remove him. Amupitan has come to stay.
