A ideo of Anthony Agbazuere, chief of staff to Okezie Ikpeazu, governor of Abia state, spraying money on Odumeje, the ‘Indaboski’, is trending online.
In the video shared on Twitter by @Enwagboso, Agbazuere is seen spraying naira notes on a dancing Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, better known as Odumeje, controversial Onitsha-based clergyman.
The date the video was shot is unknown but it appears to have been in Agbazuere’s office.
The position of the Chief of Staff to the Governor should come with a high moral behavior that drives leadership interactions.
If I were to be the Governor of Abia state, Dr. A.B.C. Agbazuere would have lost this position the minute I see this video.

Some Nigerians have expressed their reservations about the 27-second clip, calling on Ikpeazu to sanction Agbazuere.
Some based their complaints on financial waste and others on disregard for the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) regulation against spraying or stepping on the naira.
Here are some reactions from Twitter.
He shouldnt remain in office

My problem is we normalise this for some people and cry blue murder when some other people do something similar. We should be consistent. There should be an outcry at all times when people act like this? Let this happen in Lagos? They will be calling for the head of Tinubu now?

No surprises here. If the governor selects this man to be his CoS-he fully reflects the governor values. Nigeria is in deeper shit than many are willing to admit. The rot is deep and our leaders have zero capacity to imagine let alone execute on a vision that uplifts the pple.

This is very disappointing to think an appointee of govt will in the glare of the camera spray money unceremoniously. This speaks much why the state is so backward.

Why should a chief of staff to a state be doing this is a public office.
This impunity by public office holders is becoming insane.
I am expecting all Pdp apologists to call out against this act in Abia state.
This COS should be sanctioned…. 😕😎
