The wife of the outgoing Kogi State Governor, Alhaja Rasheedat Bello, has distributed a cash sum of N1,000,000 each to all her domestic staff.
A video showing her distributing the money surfaced on social media on Thursday as the staff were seen singing praises of her while the police officers were saluting her with extraordinary passion.

After the video of his wife went viral, many Nigerians took to their social media handles to express their pleasure and/or displeasure about the act of the First Lady.
In several reactions seen by Intel Region, some Nigerians described her as very generous and that other Nigerian leader should emulate her by distributing money in large sums to their domestic staff.
Some others were highly opposed to the action noting that her husband, Governor Yahaya Bello is still owing workers of the state salaries and the government should make it a priority before attending to any other matters.

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating those whom you think have been resourceful to you. The element or amount of appreciation notwithstanding. I commend her for that. And for those that share my thoughts, may you work for such a kindhearted employer,” Walter wrote.
Emeka wrote; “To me, what she did should be emulated by others. Gifting to your aids is a good omen. Not a crime. Most of VIP’s doesn’t care about their aids, which is very bad. Those their aids you doesn’t sleep, either do they have time to rest. Always working their ass out.’
Danjuma wrote: “Bello is good at paying annoying amounts into civil servants accounts,which we also know that he hardly pay even the 15% of the Workers salaries. Some civil servants have received #1,500 from Kogi state’s account as salaries. Some 21 century Youths are supporting his ambition.”
