Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has finally spoken up about her recent total dismissal from office, stating that “lies were told” against her.
Her reaction came in her first public statement since her suspension by President Bola Tinubu. She claimed 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!”
Earlier in the year, Betta Edu, who handled Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, had been previously suspended and was notably excluded from recent cabinet activities.
