The Beta Edu Media Centre is compelled to bring to the attention of the relevant security agencies, and the general public, the recent attempts by Honourable. Yusi Buba, Special Assistant on Youth Mobilization to Dr. Betta Edu, and Yusuf Raul Gombe, Convener of Betta Edu New Media Center, to deny our organization’s existence and endorsement of Hajiya Halimat Tejuosho Adenike for the Ministerial position.
Despite possessing documented evidence of our tenure under Dr. Betta Edu, including duly signed appointment letters and an access card, Hon. Yusi Buba has claimed ignorance of our appointment and labeled us an “unrecognized group.”
Furthermore, we have recorded a phone call from Hon. Yusi Buba on Sunday, August 18, 2024, attempting to resolve our differences, which we are willing to make public.
We are disturbed by the consistent reference to Dr. Edu as the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, despite her suspension, and the pride, arrogance, and misguided optimism exhibited by her camp.
Regrettably, upon our refusal to acquiesce to their demands, Hon. Yusi Buba and Yusuf Raul Gombe have resorted to threatening calls, promising to “deal with us and our families.”
In light of these developments, we call on the National security Adviser (NSA), Inspector General of Police and the Department of Security Services (DSS) to invite Hon. Yusi Buba and Yusuf Raul Gombe for questioning and documentation, to ensure our safety and security, and to prevent any potential harm.
Our position remains rooted in a commitment to truth, integrity, and the welfare of Nigerians, inline with the president Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda with his determination to clamp down on national corrupt practices.We will not be swayed by attempts to blackmail or silence us by those who are doing everything possible to protect their selfish interest.
“We reiterate our call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint Hajiya Halimat Tejuosho Adenike as the new Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, without delay. This appointment is crucial in addressing the nation’s current challenges.
