Kaduna central Senator, Shehu Sani has faulted the way the federal government plans to disburse the $320 million recovered Abacha loot.
President Muhammadu Buhari had said the money would be put into the conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme targeted at the “poorest of Nigerians”.
302,000 poor households in 19 states are in line to benefit from the disbursement in July.
While commenting on the development via Twitter, the senator said the money will end up with beneficiaries “whose names are supplied” by governors, ministers, lawmakers and “Buhari’s men”.
He suggested that the money should be spent on a project visible to Nigerians.
“Sharing $350 million recovered loot to 180 million Nigerians is impossible,” Sani tweeted on Saturday.
“It will end up with beneficiaries whose names will be given by governors, ministers, lawmakers and the President’s men.
“Let it be tied to a project Nigerians can see with their ‘Korokoro eyes’.”
