Bishop Oyedepo prayed for me to become minister – Betta Edu

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, has narrated how she became a minister in the President Bola Tinubu administration.

According to Betta Edu, Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church popularly known as Winners Chapel, prayed for her to get the appointment.

She said this while recounting her 2022 experience of the yearly Shiloh programme held the first week of December.

In August, Edu was part of the people who was appointed to his administration.

Sharing her experience she said; “Church praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!! My name is Dr. Betta Edu and I came to thank God.

“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 meet him as usual and I whispered to him, ‘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 put his hand on my head and he said, ‘It is done’. I stood up and I left.

“I came today to return all glory to God that in spite of all odds, today I’m a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. One of the youngest in the Fourth Republic.

“People of my age are not at the Federal Executive Council of Nigeria in this Fourth Republic. But today, I can boldly stand here to say, ‘God did it’. I came to return all glory to God,” she said.
