EFCC GOES COLD AS SUSPENDED MINISTER, BETTA EDU, STAGES COMEBACK

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may have gone cold six months after investigating embattled Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu on corruption allegations, as speculation emerges about her comeback.

The embattled minister, who is officially suspended, appears to have been let off the hook by the anti-graft agency, as she, yesterday, wrote an official condolence message on the ministry’s letterhead over the recent Jos school building collapse.

In a message on her X handle @edu_betta, Edu equally posted a screenshot of her condolence message on the website. In her message, Edu extended condolences to all those affected.

The statement reads in part: “Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for the families, who have lost their loved ones and for the community enduring this devastating ordeal.

“In times like this, we find ourselves united in our shared grief and determination to support one another through this tragedy.“May the souls of the departed rest in peace and may the injured receive swift and complete healing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and all those affected during this incredibly difficult time.”

    LABOUR PARTY’S WOES CONTINUE AS GUBER CANDIDATE, RUNNING MATE DUMP PARTY

    LABOUR PARTY’S WOES CONTINUE AS GUBER CANDIDATE, RUNNING MATE DUMP PARTY The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the last election in Bayelsa State, Udengs Eradiri and his running mate, Commodore Benjamin Nathus (retd) have announced their resignations from the party. It was gathered that most of the local government chairmen of the party in Bayelsa joined Eradiri and Nathus to dump the party. Eradiri, who was recently conferred Fellowship by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) sent his resignation letter to the state chairman of the party in Yenagoa. In the letter dated December 8 and titled, Letter of Withdrawal as Labour Party Member, Eradiri said he took the decision to enable him to pursue his political career on a platform ready and prepared to provide the kind of leadership that Bayelsa deserves. Eradiri appreciated members of the party, who believed in his vision for a better Bayelsa and allowed him to be the governorship candidate. “But unfortunately, we couldn’t scale through the intrigues and challenges implanted in the party leadership”, he said. Eradiri noted that it was a great moment working together politically and traversing the nooks and crannies of the state in the quest for leadership. Eradiri, who came third in the governorship poll, said his decision was supported by his loyalists. Also in his letter of withdrawal, Nathus said the move was borne out of his decision to seek a platform committed to a leadership that would propel Bayelsa towards a brighter and more prosperous future. He said: “I am profoundly grateful for the support and camaraderie of the party members who have shared in our vision for a thriving Bayelsa and graciously provided me the opportunity to serve as a deputy governorship candidate. The journey has been enriched with invaluable experiences and insights”. Nathus said he was honoured to work with dedicated colleagues and engage deeply with communities in the pursuit of transformative governance. Eradiri, who confirmed his resignation from the party, said he was undergoing serious consultations to decide the next political platform that would enable him to provide service to the people. “We are consulting seriously and engaging all stakeholders to know the next political party to join. Our next party of interest will be such that will enable us to provide service to the people and move Bayelsa forward”, he said.
