Tinubu's Changes Bringing Growth, Betta Edu

A former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Co-Director of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council Women Mobilisation Directorate, Betta Edu, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s government has taken Nigeria from tough reforms to a better future.

Edu spoke with journalists during the APC Women’s Directorate Stakeholders’ Engagement and Town Hall Meeting with women in Plateau. This event took place at the Rayfield Government House in Jos as part of the APC presidential rally in the state on Saturday.

She explained that the women’s mobilization team was in Plateau on the instructions of the President’s wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. They aimed to run a campaign based on data and empowerment.

“We have been sent here by Her Excellency, the wife of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, our First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. She asked us to run a campaign that uses data to showcase our government’s achievements and to focus on empowerment,” she said.

Edu noted that Nigerians have faced hard times due to reforms and changes, but now they are entering a time of prosperity.

“For Nigerians, we have gone through a bend, a bend of reform and transformation. We have faced tough times, but right now, we are moving into prosperity,” she said.

“So those were the foundations that were necessary for our nation to move forward,” she added.

She mentioned that this engagement was a chance to inform Plateau women about the prosperity that the Tinubu administration is bringing, along with the empowerment programs available for them.

“So as we are telling our women about the prosperity which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration is bringing to the table right now, we are also telling them about the empowerment which we are doing here right now,” Edu said.

Edu stated that over 1,000 women received support at the event to boost their businesses and help their families.

“Today, we have empowered at least one thousand women in this hall. We have done that for them to go back and recapitalize their businesses,” she said.

“We have empowered them to support their families and their children as best as they can. At the end of the day, we want to see happy families, greater families,” she added.

Edu emphasized that empowerment has always been important to the First Lady and is not just a one-time event.

“Remember, the wife of the President has always been doing empowerment. What we are doing today is not a two-day thing; it has always been like that. So that’s what we are,” she said.

She also urged the people of Plateau State to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates, including Governor Caleb Mutfwang, to continue the good work they have started in the state and the country.
