2027: Women affairs minister distributes N100,000 cash at APC-branded event

A video shows Women Affairs Minister Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim handing out N100,000 cash bundles to women at an empowerment event in Lafia, where some attendees wore APC-branded outfits.

The Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has been seen in a video distributing bundles of N100,000 cash to women at an empowerment programme in Lafia, Nasarawa State, SaharaReporters reports.

In the footage, circulating on social media, some attendees wore outfits bearing the All Progressives Congress (APC) insignia.

The pre-rally programme, organised under First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s initiative, also featured refrigerators, sewing machines and grinding machines.

Between 100 and 200 women reportedly received N100,000 each as business capital.

Reacting, one social media user wrote: “I believe this is our Subsidy money. It’s better to reverse it than allow these few number of clowns enjoying, while 200m Nigerians are suffering.”

The video follows a similar cash distribution by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on November 2, which civic tech group MonITNG criticised.

“The display of millions of naira in cash as an empowerment initiative by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan raises serious questions about our understanding of representation, leadership and poverty alleviation,” the organisation said.
