APC Disowns One Meal A Day Billboard, Campaign Promise To Nigerian Kids

The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Tuesday disowned a billboard in the social media purporting to prove that the governing party authorized two documents in which the then Presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari allegedly promised to achieve certain milestones in his first 100 days in office.

The party had during the campaign promise to model the Osun State style of providing food for school kids nationwide but it seems since the essence and purpose of the promises has been achieved with the victory, all promises have been denied by the party.

“Anybody can produce a billboard and display. We know nothing about it,” he said according to DailyTimes reports.

President Buhari’s spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, as well as Alhaji Mohammed, have separately disowned the documents.

The billboard, which bears large portraits of the then candidate Buhari and his running mate, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, and three bold faces of pupils in school uniforms, has a banner that reads in capital letters: “ONE MEAL A DAY.”

The provision of one meal daily to pupils in public schools is one of the 100-day campaign promises of the documents, entitled: “My Covenant With Nigerians” and “One Hundred Things Buhari Will Do In 100 Days.”
