However, attention quickly shifted from the official engagement to a viral video showing a woman dressed in an All Progressives Congress-branded outfit stepping forward from the spectators’ section to spray N1,000 notes on Rarara as he performed his popular song, “Omo Ologo,” in the president’s presence.
Nigerians call on EFCC to take action
The video, which has circulated on social media, ignited debate, with many Nigerians questioning the reason for spraying money at an official event amid the intensified enforcement against naira abuse.
Many called on the country's anti-graft body, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to swing into action.
Money spraying, stepping on, or using naira notes as props at celebrations is prohibited under Nigerian law. Section 21 of the CBN Act makes such acts illegal, with violators subject to legal penalties.
The Central Bank of Nigeria had also enforced the Clean Note Policy, seeking to maintain the integrity and circulation quality of the naira while discouraging practices that reduce its lifespan.
