The Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP) has called for the immediate sack and prosecution of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Allegation, Betta Edu,over the alleged looting of N44billion National Social Investment Programme Agency,NSIPA, fund,including the N585.2 million diverted to a personal account.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Party,Debo Ologunagba,disclosed the party’s position in Abuja on Sunday.
According to him,the alleged fraud is just a tip-off the iceberg of what he called “unprecedented treasury looting,unbridled stealing and plundering of resources going on in the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led All Progressive Congress (APC) administration which has practically brought the nation’s economy to its knees”.
Nigerians were shocked by reports of how Betta Edu and the suspended National Coordinator of NISPA,Halima Shehu allegedly engaged in brazen looting of billions of Naira while Nigerians who the funds are meant for are deprived and abandoned to excruciating hardship and misery”, the PDP spokesman said.
