“Who said I have resigned”, wondered Yauyau when contacted on
Wednesday to comment on media reports alleging he resigned from his
position and left the country.
"I am in my office. If you want to proof, come. I am available. Talk
to the staff here and other officials at the ministry of defence if
you want to confirm, Yauyau told Sudan Tribune.
The second top defence official claimed that news alleging he resigned
was circulated on the social media and through pro-opposition new
agencies.
He expressed surprise about the allegation, saying that he has been
receiving calls from many people asking him about “this fake news”.
The rumours started from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where several people
on social media posted a fake letter with a forged signature and
without a letterhead.
David Yauyau said he did not travel out of the country because he is
the Acting Minister of Defence since defence minister; Kuol Manyang
Juuk is currently outside the country on an official mission with the
first vice president.

From Kakuma Refugee Camp where David Yawyaw used to fail exams
terribly in Kadugli Primary, I think YawYaw is still dump and only
occupying space in the top job.

Midit, Hamil, Eastern, Jubaone, Denda Fair Man and alike. Don’t
celebrate darkness! Mr. Yauyau will never leave his holy post till
kingdom come! The fake slaves who called themselves South Sudanese,
just by skin colors are destroying us in distance. There’s no such
rumors here. Comrade Yauyau is next to me currently. Keep creating
more havoc in distance!
