Embattled former Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Beta Edu, had an opportunity to see Bola Tinubu a few days ago.
Tinubu asked her to come clean and reveal all she has done and those involved in her six months of looting the Ministry she oversees. Edu’s revelations were shocking to Tinubu. He couldn’t hear that alone, so he invited the First Lady, Remi, to come listen to Edu’s song of revelation.
The constant naming of the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, as a major accomplice in Edu’s service of fraud to Nigeria, with billions missing and unaccounted for in her six months reign as Minister, baffled the President and his wife. Remi particularly had severally intervened to save Gbajabiamila’s job.
Tinubu’s decision to have her listen to Edu was so she has no more reason to plead on Gbajabiamila’s behalf when he dangles the hammer.
Edu pleaded for a second chance and to have her job back. It was a resounding NO from the President and his wife. They wished her well in her future endeavors, promising her they would continue to be in touch.
Beta wept after her songs of revelation as she was asked to go home and sin no more.
As for Gbajabiamila, he has now been stripped of some of his major assignments. Bola Tinubu’s Private Secretary, Hakeem Muri-Okunola, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. SGF, George Akume, would now do most of the jobs instead of Gbajabiamila.
