Presidency Rules Out Betta Edu’s Return to Tinubu’s Cabinet
The Presidency has confirmed that former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Betta Edu, will not be returning to President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet. Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga made the announcement on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, October 27, 2024.
Edu was suspended by President Tinubu in January following public outrage over an alleged ₦585 million scandal. The president subsequently ordered an in-depth investigation into the alleged fraud within her ministry, vowing to take firm action against any individuals found guilty of misconduct.
Onanuga clarified that Edu’s position has now been permanently filled by Dr. Nentawe Yilwatda, a former governorship candidate from Plateau State. He stated, “Betta Edu is gone. Her position has been taken over by someone else — that’s the man from Plateau, who is now assuming the role. For this government, there is no place for her in the cabinet.”
This decision underscores the administration’s commitment to accountability in response to national concerns over alleged financial mismanagement
Former US President and first Black president, Barack Obama, speaks on leadership and gender. He spoke about how it would be nice for women to be in charge every now and then, as it would strike a balance and advance the government.
“Even when I was President, I sometimes fantasized about if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, ‘All right, how are things going?’”
“I have a strong belief that things wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better. I’m confident about that. I really do,” he added.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, speaks on the state of the country and President Tinubu’s reign.
He analyses it and shares how Tinubu has made tough decisions. “About three years ago, President Bola Tinubu assumed office amid some very significant and structural challenges, and physical challenges.”
“His administration chose to confront the long-standing distortions rather than postpone them, and those decisions were indeed very difficult and were not politically convenient. And because of those decisions, Nigerians have borne some real costs.”
“Today, however, Nigeria is moving from the difficult work of reforms and stabilisation towards a new phase of growth and shared prosperity.”
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, speaks on the road projects in Abuja and their completion. He shared that they will be completed and described them as Tinubu’s Christmas gift to citizens.
“We have promised the residents that this will be their Christmas gift by Mr President as part of their Christmas gift so that they’ll go back home and enjoy their Christmas celebration.
“You can imagine the happiness of those who stay here. You know that with these roads, the economy of the affected communities will change,” he said.
