The People’s Democratic Party has accused the Nigerian Government of planning to steal N13.5bn while disguising the plan as feeding school children during COVID-19 pandemic.

Kola Olognondiyan, PDP spokesperson, in a statement, questioned the rationale behind feeding school children while schools were indefinitely shut due to Coronavirus outbreak.

The statement reads in part, “While it is clear that the APC-led istration’s school feeding programme had always been a scam, the claim to feed school children even when schools are closed is a colossal racketeering taken too far.

“This goes to further expose that stealing and corruption are deeply engrained in the DNA of the APC and its istration.

“While the PDP has nothing against any transparent effort to provide succour to Nigerians, particularly our children, at this critical time, our party rejects the on-going fraud in which school children, who are in their respective homes, bearing the brunt of the failures of the APC istration, are being used as metaphors to divert public funds to a few corrupt individuals in the Buhari Presidency.

“Nigerians are witnesses to how the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Hajiya Umar Farouq, had always stammered, makes conflicting pronouncements and points to Mr President’s speech as a cover each time Nigerians demand for details of her humongous spendings.

“The minister had failed to provide details of how she intends to reach the 9.7 million school children, who are now in their homes in different locations since the closure of schools, even as officials continue to muddle up required documentations in a bid to cover their tracks.

“Nigerians are invited to note how the minister contradicted herself in claiming that the food would be shared door-to door and in the same breath, averred that vouchers would be allocated at specific collection times to avoid overcrowding.

“Such contradiction only betrays an unwholesome tendency, as Nigerians wonder how there would be overcrowding on door-to-door distribution of food to children who are claimed to have been individually designated in various locations.

“If these officials indeed mean well for the school children, they should hand over the funds to the ministry of education in the respective states for appropriate dispensation to properly identified and documented vulnerable children.”

you all know the truth, yet no actions. He will still do it. I am tired of Nigeria matter. Nigerians only fight and protest online,who will stop them if you won't stand up against them?

The home feeding program defies all logic considering the amount of fund to be committed into it.

With the recent condemnation and outcry, a listening Government should have halted the program.

It's a waste of scarce resources, especially at this precarious period.

If the parents are so poor that they can't feed their kids, then empower them to be able to do so! A subtle loan of 50k to the parents will get to 13 400 daily, imagine what that'll do to the economy of these parents.

What's Pdp? Name of an animal, place or a thing?

Nigerian govt don't Care about what the masses think. They just want you to be aware of the money that's budgeted for a certain program, whatever the money is used for is none the citizens business. Bunch of thieves.

How many action have you taken

Idiotic loud mouth PDP clowns. Just make accusations without any prove knowing that some dumb dumb will believe anything.

See this is real life right here, when you are a thief, you will often perceive everyone to also be a thief. These PDP thugs are nothing but known original proven thieves hence they think Buhari should be stealing with his opportunity, forgetting that not everyone is delusional and consumed with stealing public funds like them.

I know say PDP don fear this government of Mr. Integrity. All PDP stole for 16yrs is nothing to compare what APC has stolen for 5yrs.

They can’t afford not to steal via the school feeding fraud so they decided they must take the food to the children at home

"This is just as it was gathered that government claims to be spending the sum of N679 million daily or N13.5 billion monthly on the project in 31 states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja".
APC I'm against you on this nonsense school feeding.

pdp should tell us the billions Dey looted during their own government

I've never agreed with pdp but i go with them on this. Feeding school pupils is d most insensitive thing 2 do at this critical time when every damn resources is needed. At times i wonder who is advising this APC government.

This is called systematic corruption/fraud.

How do they intend to feed pupils that are not in school?

They shd just call it road side feeding program for the Almajeri
