By Agency Report

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has said that the current issue about the suspended Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Betta Edu and the alleged palliative money scam is deeper than what Nigerians have been told, and called for a thorough investigation.

CUPP In a statement signed by its National Secretary, Peter Ameh warns that any attempt to use political consideration to “sweep” the alleged corruption ‘under the carpet’ will be resisted by the Nigerian people.

While it welcomes the suspension and investigation of the Humanitarian Affairs Minister, Beta Edu the CUPP called on President Bola Tinubu to go beyond Edu and fish out anyone that is connected to or partake in the alleged stealing of the funds.

Ameh said CUPP believed that the suspended Minister could not have carried out what he described as a heist, without the urging of a stronger and perhaps high-ranking member or members of the present government.

CUPP noted that the whole issue surrounding the palliative and the larger Humanitarian Affairs Ministry has become a sore thumb in both this government and the previous one.

“The former Minister, Sadia Umar is still under probe for allegedly embezzling close to N40bn, before the present Minister is fingered for her ignoble role in the transfer of N585 million to a private Bank account “, the statement pointed out.
