Defence Minister Mohammed Badaru Resigns From Tinubu Cabinet Due to Health Reasons

Defence Minister Mohammed Badaru Abubakar has resigned from the Tinubu Cabinet in Nigeria, citing health challenges as the reason for his immediate resignation. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu accepted his resignation with gratitude for Badaru's contributions to national security.

The resignation comes at a critical moment as Tinubu recently declared a national security emergency. A replacement for Badaru is expected to be announced later this week.

The resignation was confirmed by Tinubu's special adviser, Bayo Onanuga.
