The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged President BOLA TINUBU to immediately sack and prosecute the embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, BETTA EDU over alleged money laundering.

The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, DEBO OLOGUNAGBA, described it as tragic and heartbreaking that a minister entrusted with public funds to support millions of poor Nigerians turned around to allegedly divert hundreds of millions of naira meant for the wellbeing of the poor.

OLOGUNAGBA stated that the continuing stay of BETTA EDU as Minister is therefore provocative and amounts to stealing from a people and daring them to do their worst.

He said it further confirms the PDP’s position that the TINUBU-led APC government is a cesspit of corruption.

The opposition party said that the lack of remorse by the Minister especially in her lame attempt to justify the illegal diversion of funds meant for poor Nigerians is also consistent with the insensitivity, heartlessness, impunity, and criminal audacity in the APC administration.

The PDP charged President TINUBU to demonstrate commitment to the fight against corruption by immediately sacking BETTA EDU, handing her over for investigation, and prosecution.
