Npower News: People With Disabilities, APC Stakeholders Reject Calls For Reinstatement Of Betta Edu

According to Npower News, the attention of APC and People With Disabilities (PWDs), national stakeholders and leaders was drawn to an online publication by Sentry Times, widely shared and allegedly attributed by Chief Eric Ndubueze Ufom calling for the reinstatement of Betta Edu as Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation.

According to Npower News, the group leaders in a press statement said, "It's unfortunate that Chief Eric Ndubueze Ufom who's not even based in Nigeria and don't know how many of us we PWDs had been suffering under her 6 months as minister is using his self appointed, unrecognized and unknown group termed as "Nigerian PWDs Leaders and pioneers" which many of us never heard it's existence simply because he's one of the beneficiary of her six months as minister because it's clear he already exposed himself when he said in his publication that she approved his proposals"

To clear the air, the Nigerian People With Disabilities (PWDs) leaders including the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, National People With Disabilities (PWDs), Awareness Movement and various groups have been calling for the appointment of a competent and incorruptible person with track records to handle the affairs of the Ministry for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation for the benefits of not only People With Disabilities (PWDs), but also Internally Displaced Person (IDP), Widows, Orphans and other less privilege to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards the poor and vulnerable, including People With Disabilities (PWDs).

Recall that the embattled suspended Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu was accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for authorising the payment of ₦585,000,000 into a private account, Betta Edu was also linked to the Kogi airport scandals and other allegations and for anyone or any appointed group to call for the reinstatement of Betta Edu is like supporting corruption and mismanagement which will be a serious setback to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration to tackle corruption.

According to Npower News, the Nigerian People With Disabilities (PWDs), APC Supporters, leaders and stakeholders in a statement said "they are not corrupt and does not in anyway support corruption and mismanagement."

The group urged the general public to disregard the so called publication as it does not in anyway represent the voice of the Nigerian People With Disabilities (PWDs) leaders but self appointed person with few people being used to carry their selfish interests and hidden motives.
