Tinubu can't suspend Halima Shehu and look the other way in Betta Edu's case, if it's really about justice, Betta Edu needs to be suspended considering how mismanagement is already taking place under her, she must be investigated.#BettaEdumustbeprobed#BettaEduIsTheRealCulprit pic.twitter.com/2TuIkTXjxm

If the minister of humanitarian Betta Edu is not suspended, that would say a lot about the stand of President Tinubu in the fight against corruption.
A lot of Northerners are seeing it like Halima Shehu was suspended because she is from the North.#BettaEdumustbeprobed⦠pic.twitter.com/uNJMvcYCrb

Halima shehu was arrested for channeling a whooping 17-Billion into a private account without the authorization of the president, and now thereβs a fresh case of Betta Edu in an alleged involvement for misappropriation of another 3-Billion Naira.
