Betta Edu prays to God to deal with her enemies – Nigerians react

The suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has sought divine intervention against her enemies.
Edu is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) following her suspension by President Bola Tinubu on January 8, 2024, over allegations of intent to commit financial fraud.
The embattled minister was accused of approving the payment of ₦585m into a private account, a development that blew open the scandal rocking her ministry.
Consequently, the President suspended all administered programmes under the National Social Investment Programme Agency (NSIPA) alongside its National Coordinator, Halima Shehu.
Shehu had earlier served as the National Coordinator of the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme in the ministry under the former Minister, Sadiya Umar-Farouk. The latter is also under EFCC investigation for an alleged ₦37.1bn fraud.
While she’s remained silent since the beginning of her ordeal, Edu’s latest message on her X page may be an insight into what she thinks about the situation.
It all started when the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (FCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, shared a post on his page on Saturday, March 2, 2024.
“The Lord asked me to tell someone; “I will deal with your enemies head-on,” the revered pastor wrote.
Quoting the post, Edu wrote, “Amen.”
Meanwhile, many Nigerians thronged the comment section of the minister’s post to express their disapproval of her remarks.
See some of the comments below;
“Bettea Edu, dont ever talked again, You’re a shameful to Nigeria Youth. N3.5B stole by you and your department with just within 7 months in office. Where is my Ada Anambra,” @TvslEspana noted.
“But you are the enemy being dealt with here?,” said @Oluwanonso_Esq.
“Is this a parody account or my eyes dey pain me,” @SeunAyo_ asked.
“Buhari thief 30trillion, and he still dey shout Alahuwakibar, Tinubu has been stealing and still shouting Alahuwakibar. Your Allah and Muhammad different from Saudi own? It is well with you madam,” @CLF_001 stated.

The Nigerian police has finally approved the planned nationwide protests and outlined conditions for participants.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, revealed this on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja.
He urged all groups planning to participate in the proposed nationwide protest to submit their details to the Commissioners of Police in their respective states.
The police boss said this was to ensure the protest was peaceful.
Egbetokun said, “We acknowledge the constitutional right of Nigerian citizens to peaceful assembly and protest.
“However, in the interest of public safety and order, we urge all groups planning to protest to provide necessary details to the Commissioner of Police in the state where the protest is intended to take place.
“To facilitate a successful and incident-free protest, they should please provide the following information: state the proposed protest routes and assembly points; expected duration of the protest; and names and contact details of protest leaders and organisers.”
The police boss said the information expected from the organisers also include measures to prevent hijacking by criminal elements, as well as key identifiers for possible isolation of potential troublemakers.
By providing the information, he said, the police will be able to deploy adequate personnel and resources to ensure public safety.
He said the police needed to know the specific routes and areas for the protest to avoid conflicts with other events or activities.
Mr Egbetokun said the police will “establish clear communication channels with protest leaders to address any concerns or issues that may arise; minimise the risk of violence, property damage, or other criminal activity.
“We encourage all protesters to cooperate with the police, obey the law, and adhere to global best practices for peaceful assembly to guarantee a safe and successful exercise of their rights.
