A Nigerian man staged a dramatic protest at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national headquarters in Abuja, carrying a placard with the message “Reward me or kill me.”
The man, dressed in a party-branded shirt, alleged that the party deserted him after he sold his home to fund his efforts during the 2023 election campaigns.
The incident, which went viral on X after appearing on Facebook Thursday night, shows the distressed man shouting grievances at the secretariat entrance.
He claimed that the financial strain has left him unable to pay his children’s school fees, leading him to abandon them with the party’s Chief Security Officer (CSO).
“I sold my house because of the debt I seemed to owe APC. Because of the work I worked for APC,” he lamented in the footage. When onlookers questioned his motives, he gestured to his shirt and replied, “These are the people that sent me.”
The protester detailed how his sacrifices during the general elections yielded no compensation.
“This is the work I did for APC and at the end of it, no reward. Rather, the CSO threatened to shoot me and nothing will happen,” he said.
Describing his dire situation, he added, “Since yesterday, my children, I don’t know where they are. I dropped my children with the CSO and APC because I cannot take care of them again. I cannot pay school fees anymore.”
His placard further expressed his mental and physical decline, reading: “All Progressives Congress. Reward me or kill me. I’m a party man and not a lunatic. I have lost so much for the party. I am depressed and my health is affected.”
The 30-second video captures the man pacing frantically in front of the gate while security and bystanders watched.
Despite the scene, no party official emerged to address him.
Social media reactions have been largely critical, with many users mocking the man’s demands for personal gain from political activity.
As of the time of this report, the APC has not released an official statement regarding the protest.
