Public Notice on the Circulation of Outdated Photographs Involving Our Leader, HE Mohammed Badaru Abubakar

We wish to draw the attention of the general public to a photograph currently circulating on social media platforms, which falsely suggests that the Former Minister of Defence, His Excellency Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni, held a meeting with the National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and 2023 Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at the VIP Wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

For clarity, the photograph in question is outdated. It was taken on 18th February 2023, when the two leaders coincidentally met at the VIP Wing of the airport.

We also wish to inform the general public that the Former Minister has been overseas for the past month and has not returned to Nigeria.

In view of the foregoing, members of the public and social media users are kindly advised to disregard the post and remain vigilant against the recirculation of outdated content intended to create a false or misleading narrative.

Thank you.

Mati Ali

His Excellency Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, CON, mni
