A group under the auspices of Tinubu Arewa Media 2023, led by Comrade Abdulhamid Bala, has issued resounding condemnation of the baseless allegations circulating against the Minister of Defence, Muhammadu Badaru, by persons it described as certain meddlesome individuals.

The group, which has been in the forefront of the campaign for the victory of President Bola Tinubu, described the media attack on the Minister as unfounded and totally unacceptable.

“These shameless falsehoods, accusing Minister Badaru of an imaginary shadow romance with PDP figures, are nothing but lies from the pit of hell, concocted by those desperate to destabilize the APC and disrupt the unity we have worked hard to build” , the group said in a terse media release on Tuesday.

Comrade Bala denounced the allegations against the Minister as a deliberate, malicious campaign of calumny.

“These detractors are attempting to weaken our party’s stronghold by tarnishing the image of a man who has devoted himself to the APC and to our nation’s progress,” Bala stated.

He explained that “The claims linking Minister Badaru to an opposition plot are the height of absurdity and betrayal, grounded in fiction rather than fact. Those fueling these rumors are simply enemies of progress with no respect for truth or integrity.”

The group insisted that Minister Badaru’s unshakable dedication to the APC, both as a former governor and now as Minister of Defence, is indisputable. It noted that Badaru’s leadership has consistently embodied the values of the APC, advancing the interests of Jigawa State and Nigeria as a whole.

The group further stated that Badaru’s allegiance to the party and unwavering support for President Tinubu’s administration cannot be questioned, as his record of service speaks volumes.

The group called on all APC loyalists and President Tinubu to disregard these pathetic, unfounded rumors intended to distract from the party’s goals.

“These smear campaigns are orchestrated by agents of division and deceit,” Bala continued, “They may try to stir up trouble, but they will find no footing within the APC. Minister Badaru remains an honorable figure of loyalty, courage, and competence.”

The group declared that it stands firmly with Minister Badaru and condemns “the reckless tactics of those attempting to undermine his
legacy and loyalty.

“We remain united against these disgraceful, fabricated attacks, which only highlight the desperation of those who fear the strength and resilience of the APC in Jigawa State and beyond. No level of slander will distract us from supporting our leaders and pursuing our mission for a stronger, united Nigeria”, they emphasized.

The group, further disclosed that it is well aware of the politician behind this smear campaign against Minister Badaru.
“This same politician, notorious for his intolerance, previously resorted to similar tactics in dealings with a Mining business partner. We therefore issue our final warning: if this individual dares to target Minister Badaru with such deceitful antics again, the group will not hesitate to expose his full identity to the public, through the media”, it threatened.
