Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has publicly addressed her recent dismissal from office, stating that “lies were told” against her.
This remark came during her first public statement since her removal by President Bola Tinubu, suggesting her innocence in the alleged fraudulent activities within her former ministry.
Edu shared her sentiments on her official X (formerly Twitter) account while celebrating her 38th birthday on Sunday, October 27.
In her post, she referred to herself as a “daughter of Zion,” expressing that the efforts to tarnish her reputation would not succeed but instead “lead to her elevation.”
She wrote, “Happy birthday to the woman Jesus Loves! Soon the world will see the glory of a great God! “The lies told to destroy a daughter of Zion will lead to her elevation! Ask Joseph!”
Orange understands that the ministers sacked on Wednesday are Mrs. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye from the Ministry of Women Affairs; Lola Ade-John of Tourism; Prof. Tahir Mamman of Education; Abdullahi Mohammed Gwarzo of State for Housing and Urban Development; and Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim of Youth Development.
Additionally, Betta Edu, who handled Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, had been previously suspended and was notably excluded from recent cabinet activities.
