Npower News On Betta Edu

According to Npower News on Betta Edu, Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, has defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to suspend Betta Edu, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni, the ex-gubernatorial candidate of the defunct Congress of Progressive Change (CPC) in the 2011 Lagos State elections, urged Nigerians to let the anti-graft agency Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) conduct its investigations into the alleged request of transfer of ₦583,000,000 into a private account by Betta Edu.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni emphasized the need for caution in discussing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's decision to avoid undermining national interests.

Acknowledging Betta Edu’s promising contributions to the administration, Abayomi Nurain Mumuni noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s appointment of a woman to preside over the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation was worthy of praise.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni called on Nigerians to desist from acting as judges and allow the EFCC to carry out its investigations.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni said that, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done the right thing by appointing a female to head the ministry and he should be praised for suspending her over the allegation of diverting public money into a private account.

“Aside from the allegation, Betta Edu has been one of the promising Ministers in this administration, it is just unfortunate Betta Edu found herself in this mess. Like the popular saying, evil communication corrupts good manners.

“Nigerians should not turn themselves to judges but rather allow EFCC to do its job and leave President Bola Ahmed Tinubu alone to concentrate on delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians.”

Emphasising the importance of collaborative efforts for good governance, Abayomi Nurain Mumuni urged Nigerians to remain calm and work together to fight corruption within the government.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni further acknowledged the deep-rooted issue of corruption in Nigeria but expressed optimism that with Nigerian's support, the nation would overcome corruption.

Abayomi Nurain Mumuni said, “We should be calm and continue to work together as a nation to enable good governance and also encourage President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to eliminate any rot from his government.

“Nigerians should understand that corruption is more like a regalia that will always want to remain after many washing, but it will only take a while to get rid of the rotten elements in the system.

“We are aware that our country Nigeria has been recycling corrupt systems for decades without pretending, but with the support of Nigerians, better days will surely come.”
