A viral video shows Minister of Women Affairs Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim handing out cash envelopes and clothing bearing the APC emblem to women in Rivers State. A caption mentions 100,000 naira per woman, without specifying the number of beneficiaries, according to Punch.

The Nigerian Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim, is filmed handing out cash envelopes and clothing bearing the emblem of the APC, the ruling party, to women at an event in Rivers State, according to a video posted on Monday by the TikTok account @move_with_imaan, which documents the minister’s activities. The video’s caption reads "100k Naira for every woman", which would suggest that each woman received 100,000 naira.

The envelopes feature images of President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima, and the clothing carries the APC logo. According to the caption published with the video, the operation was carried out in the name of the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, as part of the federal government’s "Renewed Hope 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity" agenda.
