Delta PDP accused of hijacking school feeding programme

By Akpokona Omafuaire

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former first Vice President General of Okpara Patriotic Union, OPU, Chief Tony Erukeme, has alleged that Delta State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,  hijacked the national Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) for primary 1 to 3 pupils.

Erukeme who spoke to newsmen at Okpara, Ethiope East local government area of Delta State, alleged PDP hijacked the list of nominees submitted as cooks and replaced with members of its party, when they (PDP) have not contributed a kobo to the programme.

While explaining that the programme was introduced for primary one to three pupils across the state, Erukeme expressed shock why PDP should politicize the programme when the exercise has no party colouration.

He said the programme  was initiative of the APC government and to be assisted by state governments, explained that Delta  government has not contributed anything to the exercise but claiming the glory, advising the federal government to appoint liaison personnel to monitor the programme to ensure the success of the  exercise.
