PRESS STATEMENT

Different versions of the ongoing investigation involving the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Betta Edu have rented the air.

The reactions it has generated is expected given the dynamic and cerebral persons or person involved.

Most of those calling for the head of our Minister are from the oppositions and archenemies of the hard-working woman who has displayed uncommon commitment in alleviating the plights of the poor.

While we commend President Bola Tinubu for his avowed disposition in combating corruption in all ramifications, we implore him not to cave in to the impious plot by naysayers to poison his mind against the embattled fellows.

Kogi State may not have an airport but there is an airstrip to accommodate aircrafts. So, the fuss and mockery is unnecessary.

Although the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has taken over the case, which we do not want to preempt its findings, we implore Mr President to be lenient with the Minister and all those affected since she, in particular, is a first time ‘offended.’

You will all agree with me that Betta Edu, before tye saga, has been championing the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr President diligently by traveling to different places to identify with the vulnerable and feed the poor.

The good work she has started should not be blighted by ill-advised mistake she has made, which could have happened to anyone.

The fight against poverty should continue with a woman like Betta Edu who understands the terrains and knows how to navigate the roads to reach the poor.

We assure Mr President of our support to expose those behind the scandal and to blow our whistle to expose corrupt individuals who want to undermine his government.

Also, we urge all those beating the drum of war to desist from it. The may claim to love Nigeria, but their inciting remarks will plunge Nigeria into deeper problems. The criticisms should be genuine godly.

Thank you.

Renewed Hope Vanguard

National Coordinator, Emmanuel Fateman

Chioma Okoli Gets N1.9M Donation To Support Legal Battle With Erisco Foods Over Tomato Review As Case Suffers Delay Over Judge’s Promotion The lawyer said as of Wednesday evening, the total amount donated by well-meaning Nigerians for Chioma stood at N1,968,327.75. Mrs Chioma Edoka Okoli, a woman who was previously arrested for reviewing the tomato product of Erisco Foods Limited has received the sum of N1.9 million donation for legal fees. This was confirmed to SaharaReporters in a WhatsApp conversation with her lawyer, Inibehe Effiong on Thursday morning. The lawyer said as of Wednesday evening, the total amount donated by well-meaning Nigerians for Chioma stood at N1,968,327.75 Okoli was arrested and detained in September 2023. Mr Chizoba Okoli, the husband of Chioma last Tuesday narrated how his family was put under house arrest by the police after officers stormed their residence and attempted to rearrest his wife despite a court order restraining the police from doing so. Chizoba said in a video posted by Effiong on X that the police disconnected his flat from the national power grid, leaving his pregnant wife and little children without electricity. Mr Effiong had said that he would rather go to prison than compromise or convince his client to tender an apology to the Chief Executive Officer of Erisco Foods Limited over her review of the firm’s tomato product on Facebook. The lawyer said that people had been pressuring him to advise Okoli to beg or settle with Erisco but “my attitude to law practice and life in general is one of no compromise on matters of principle, truth and rule of law. “I went to prison for one month for refusing to compromise and I am ready to be imprisoned again. But what I will never do is to capitulate.” When providing an update on the case to SaharaReporters, the lawyer stated that the lawsuit had been delayed due to the promotion of the trial judge who was initially sitting on the matter. He said the new judge handling the case had yet to set a date for the hearing. He said, “Justice A. R. Mohammed, the judge handling the charge filed by the police in Abuja has been elevated from the Federal High Court to the Court of Appeal. “Justice Lifu has been transferred from the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court to Abuja to take over the cases handled by Justice A. R. Mohammed. No date has been given yet.”
