The Progressives Governors Forum (APC) has called on Nigerians to exercise patience pending the outcome of the investigation into an alleged attempt by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Dr Betta Edu, to divert monies meant for vulnerable Nigerians.
PGF’s chairman, Hope Uzodinma, who spoke to reporters at the end of the closed-door meeting of the forum remarked that it would be hasty to conclude that Edu was guilty of committing the alleged infractions.
He said: “The only perfect being we have observed and noticed is the Almighty God. The functions of government includes encouraging good things and good appointees and discouraging bad things and bad appointees.
“What you just said, its just an allegation and in the wisdom of the president, it is being investigated, it is after the investigation is completed and the report made available to the government, that the government will now take final decision. So don’t be in a hurry and don’t allow any sickness like anxiety cirrhosis.”
He reiterated the call by members of the forum to rally round the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration to deliver good governance to Nigerians.
He added: “The progressive governors forum are united in supporting the APC administration ably lead by our abluent President Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
“We will continue to support him, we will take his policies to the grassroots and as sub-national leaders of our great party, ensure that our people come on the same page with the thinking of the government whose primary objective is to secure the country and provide adequate welfare to the good people of our dear country.”
