A Nigerian man on Thursday stormed the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, demanding what he described as compensation for his role in the party’s 2023 election campaigns.
Protester carries emotional placard
The man, dressed in an APC-branded blue shirt, was seen holding a placard with the message: “Reward me or kill me,” as he expressed frustration over alleged abandonment by the party.
He claimed he had suffered severe personal and financial losses after actively working for the APC during the last general elections.
Claims of hardship and family struggles
In a viral video circulating on social media, the man said he sold his house while supporting the party’s campaign activities and now has no means of survival.
“I sold my house because of the debt I seemed to owe APC… because of the work I worked for APC,” he said.
He also alleged that he could no longer afford his children’s school fees, claiming he had left them at the party secretariat out of desperation.
“I dropped my children with the CSO and APC because I cannot take care of them again,” he added.
Tension at APC headquarters
The video showed the man pacing the entrance of the secretariat while raising his placard and shouting, as security personnel stood by and onlookers recorded the incident.
He further alleged threats from a Chief Security Officer at the facility, though this claim was not independently verified.
No official response from APC
As of the time the footage circulated online, no APC official had publicly addressed the protest or responded to the allegations raised by the man.
