Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organiation, has thrown its weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s action in suspending the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, over an alleged N585 million fraud.
Ohanaeze also frowned at the Acting National Youth Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mr. Chukwuma Okpalaezeukwu for asking Tinubu, to give Edu another chance by reinstating her to her office.
Ripples Nigeria reports that Okpalaezeukwu had said in a press release that the allegations against the embattled minister should be overlooked by President Tinubu, saying that it was an “administrative infelicity and not a financial heist since the Accountant General had confirmed that she did not honour the payment.”
