An Open Letter To Dr. Betta Edu, (suspended) Hon. Minister. by ejigah(m): 10:35pm On Jan 12
Dear Madam,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to offer you some advice and viewpoint on your current position as a female minister who is allegedly involved in corrupt practices. While I understand that each individual's circumstances are unique, it is crucial to address the ethical implications and potential consequences that accompany such allegations.

Firstly, it is important to remind oneself that engaging in corrupt practices ultimately undermines the very foundations of democratic principles and social justice. Political leaders often bear the responsibility of serving the public's best interests and ensuring a fair and just society. Corruption therefore erodes the trust and confidence that citizens place in their public officials leading to the degradation of the political system.

Moreover, as a young female in a position of power, your activities carry symbolic significance. Available records have shown that women have historically fought long and hard for gender equality and quality representation in politics. I believe that as a youthful female in a position of authority, you possess the strength, resilience and determination needed for genuine reform and national progress through your ministry; the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation. You were already positioned to embrace the opportunity to make a difference, not only for yourself but for the generations of women who will follow in your footsteps.

Rather than resorting to corruption, I encourage you to embrace the power and influence of your role as a federal minister to effect positive change. You have the ability to champion causes that will improve the lives of women, children and the marginalized strata in the communities by dedicating your efforts towards addressing social and economic disparities, promoting gender equality and combating corruption.

But by engaging in corrupt behavior, you risk perpetuating negative stereotypes that may undermine progress made by women in political leadership and if found to be true, your actions may inadvertently discourage other aspiring female politicians or reinforce the harmful notion that women are less principled or capable in positions of power and authority. I just hope that these allegations are not true.

Furthermore, it is crucial to consider the potential consequences of engaging in corrupt practices. Corruption not only damages ones personal integrity but can also result in legal repercussions, tarnishing ones reputation and diminishing anyone's ability to continue serving the public. The short-term gains achieved through corruption are far outweighed by the long-term damage to anyone's credibility and legacy.

On this note therefore, I urge you to reflect deeply on the reasons behind your alleged involvement in corruption and evaluate whether these motivations align with the values and principles you hold dear. You can also seek guidance from mentors, advisors or trusted confidants who can provide objective perspectives and support that will further position your growth as a young and promising leader.

Lastly, remember that it is never too late to change course and reorient your measures towards the greater good which you had started with. But to sincerely do this, you must first and foremost acknowledge your mistakes based on this experience and take full responsibility for your actions and this will set the footpath for you to be more committed to a course of integrity and transparency thereby reclaiming your purpose as a prospective leader in the political landscape of this country.

With sincere hopes that you would weather the prevailing storm for a better future,

Abraham Achimugu.

This advice should have been given her on her swearing in as minister.

Without preempting the outcome of the investigation, I can unequivocally conclude that the damsel is guilty as charged.

She was in a hurry to join the league of billionaires that she spilled exhibits all over the crime scene.

All that is left for her to do is name her accomplices.
