Betta Edu Urges Support for Government’s Security Efforts

Former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has issued a heartfelt appeal to Nigerians, urging collective support for the government’s ongoing security initiatives.

In a statement shared on her social media, Edu reaffirmed her commitment to the nation and its most vulnerable citizens, emphasizing that she has always given her best in service. She described spending “unending hours” reaching communities often overlooked by people of her status, driven by a deep desire to uplift the poor and strengthen the country’s social fabric.

Edu underscored that the true measure of a nation lies in its ability to care for its weakest members. She expressed confidence that her integrity and “irreproachability” would eventually be recognized, noting that “darkness would give way to daylight.” Her message carried a strong call for unity, encouraging Nigerians to maintain faith in the country, promote peaceful coexistence, and stand firmly behind the President, governors, and security agencies as they confront the nation’s pressing challenges.

In addition to her appeal for solidarity, Edu extended condolences to families who have lost loved ones in recent incidents of insecurity. She voiced optimism that the renewed strategies initiated by the President would ensure the safe return of abducted schoolchildren and other victims in Kebbi, Niger, and other affected states. “Every life matters; we must stand together to fight poverty and insecurity as a nation,” she declared, ending her message with an expression of affection for all Nigerians.

This statement reflects Edu’s broader vision of national resilience, where combating poverty and insecurity are inseparable goals. Her words highlight the importance of collective responsibility in addressing Nigeria’s challenges, positioning unity and compassion as the foundation for lasting peace and progress.
