Today, Monday 11 December 2023, Dr Betta Edu, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation is trending on X (formerly Twitter) and currently sitting at number 10 at the time of filing this report. But, why is she trending?
First, we look at the 2023 Shiloh testimony where Dr Edu said she became a minister after Bishop David Oyedepo, General Overseer of Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel laid hands on her head.
In the trending video, Edu said “Last year at Shiloh 2022, I prayed and told God that by the next time I come for the next year’s Shiloh, I want to be a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“On the last day of Shiloh, just as I was walking out, I saw Papa, Bishop David Oyedepo, and I went to greet him and met him as usual, and I whispered to him and said, Papa, I need you to pray for me. I have just one prayer request now and he said, ‘What is it?’ I said I want to come back to Shiloh 2023 as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“He puts his hand on my head and he said, ‘It is done!’ I stood up and left.
“I came today to return all Glory to God that in spite of all odds, today, I am a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria – one of the youngest in the 4th Republic.
“People [of] my age are not at the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria in this 4th Republic but today I can boldly stand here to say God did it. I came to return all Glory to God.”
