Betta Edu: The distinction between Tinubu and Buhari is that Tinubu does not defend appointee corruption – Daniel Bwala

Daniel Bwala, a media aide to PDP’s 2023 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, highlighted a distinction between President Bola Tinubu and his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari.

Bwala praised Tinubu for suspending Minister Betta Edu over alleged financial fraud, contrasting this with what he perceives as Buhari’s reluctance to defend appointees implicated in fraudulent activities.

The suspension came after leaked documents revealed Edu’s directive to transfer N585.18 million into a private account, prompting Tinubu to order an EFCC investigation.

Reacting to Edu’s suspension, Bwala posted on X: “Again @officialABAT is showing that when there is a credible substance in an allegation he will act in public interest. He has suspended the beauty pageant minister. Give it to him.

“What has clearly distinguished @officialABAT from his predecessor @MBuhari is that President Tinubu does not look like one prepared to defend appointee caught with his/her hands in the cookie’s jar ( at least for now)

“But if anyone thinks this alleged corruption only exists in the Humanitarian Ministry, that person is clearly a comedian.

“There appears to be a determination cooked with a sense of urgency by some corrupt appointees to pounce on our commonwealth like a bulldog that has found the last borne on the planet earth. This is a national security threat.”
