Abia Governor sacks Chief of Staff for spraying money on Onitsha controversial Pastor Odumeje, in viral video

Agbazuere, in the 27-second video clip, sprayed wads of Naira notes on Pastor in his office

Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia has ordered the immediate suspension of his Chief of Staff, Dr Anthony Agbazuere.

Agbazuere was appointed as the Chief of Staff to the Governor on Nov. 5, 2019.

A statement issued on Sunday in Umuahia by Mr Chris Ezem, the Secretary to the State Government, said the Permanent Secretary, Government House, Mr Alozie Odoemelam, would perform Agbazuere’s duties till further notice.

Though no reason was given for the sack, a video of the former Chief of Staff to Dr Ikpeazu had gone viral as he was spraying money on Pastor Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, better known as Odumeje, a controversial Onitsha-based clergyman also called ‘Indaboski.’”

In the video shared on Twitter by @Enwagboso, Agbazuere is seen spraying Naira notes on a dancing Odumeje.

But the date the video was shot was not stated and appears to have been in Agbazuere’s office.

Some Nigerians have expressed their reservations about the 27-second clip online, 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.
