A daughter of the President , Zahra Buhari- Indimi , says the discovery of food items and other COVID – 19 palliatives in several warehouses across the country is evidence that her father , Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( retd . ) , is not Nigeria ’ s problem .
Zahra said this in an Instagram post on Sunday .
She wrote, “ Now that people confirmed that Buhari distributed enough palliatives nationwide, it is clear Buhari is not our problem . ”
Thousands of Nigerians have in the last few days plundered warehouses in several states including Lagos , Plateau , Osun, and Kwara in the wake of the COVID – 19 protests.
In some instances, COVID – 19 palliatives donated by the private sector -led Coalition Against COVID -19 were found in private homes of politicians .
Some of the items include cartons of noodles, sacks of garri , and bags of rice, some of which had spoilt due to poor and prolonged storage .
In Osun State , the government said it was waiting for officials from Abuja to come “ commission” the goods hence the delay in distributing them while in Lagos , the Majority Leader of the House of Assembly, SOB Agunbiade, said he kept the palliatives in his Ikorodu home because he wanted to distribute them on his birthday.
Socio- Economic Rights and Accountability Project has asked the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the alleged hoarding of COVID – 19 palliatives in warehouses in several states .
