Bola Tinubu has asked Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Minister, Beta Edu, to resign, according to an Aso Rock insider.
Edu who did not find the directive palatable has started blackmailing the Government claiming she gave money to the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila and others in the Presidency from her ministry and she cannot be treated as an outsider. She also claimed that if the President was not subjected to an investigation by the APC when he was accused of certificate forgery and drug crimes in the U.S ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections, why should she be investigated and now asked to resign.
She is currently using Gbajabiamila, Olubunmi Tunji Ojo and few persons close to the President to lobby for soft landing.
