The founder of the Sustainable National Movement, Kayode Arimoro, has called on President Bola Tinubu to reinstate the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Social Welfare, Dr Betta Edu.
This is even as Arimoro pleaded with Tinubu to end the media trial against Edu by making public, the EFCC report.
In a statement issued in Abuja, Arimoro said: “Although, huge sums are said to be recovered, there was no direct information from who or where it was recovered from. Some media houses tend to imply those recoveries to Dr. Betta Edu, but that is not the case. EFCC has come out to clarify that their investigation is about the system, not an individual.
“Let us be reminded that when we flaunt freedom of information, it does not give anybody or any group the right to defame one’s image or character, as there are consequences, and we have begun the process of ensuring that such actions have consequences.
“We strongly believe that the system contributes up to 90 percent of the current situation, especially concerning Dr. Betta Edu.
“Dr. Betta Edu is a professional and kind-hearted woman whose first 100 days in office have been marked by a proactive approach to addressing the needs of Nigerians across various states.
“Her efforts are creating sustainable change, from the distribution of essential tools and machines to support small-scale businesses to the construction of affordable housing. We appeal to Mr. President to reinstate Dr. Betty Edu to her position so that her best-in-class performance can continue.”
