In what appears to be Nigeria’s most dramatic “return on investment” complaint yet, a man on Thursday stormed the All Progressives Congress (APC) national secretariat in Abuja with a message as blunt as it was unsettling: reward me or kill me. The protest, captured in a now-viral video, shows the visibly distressed man holding a placard and demanding recognition for what he described as his personal sacrifices during the party’s 2023 campaign. According to him, loyalty was not just emotional, it was financial, physical, and, ultimately, total. In a country where political support often comes with expectations, some spoken, many implied the man’s outcry reads like a tragic audit of misplaced trust. His claim that he sold his house to fund campaign efforts has not been independently verified, but the symbolism is hard to ignore: a citizen liquidating stability in exchange for promised political dividends.

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke has congratulated Muslim Ummah in the state and beyond on the successful completion of this year's Ramadan period, describing the 29-day fasting period as a divine grace for spiritual renewal.
Governor Adeleke rejoices with Muslim faithfuls for the ease with which Allah makes the observance of one of the pillars of Islam, charging them to sustain the culture of giving and selflessness that characterised the Holy month.
The Governor enjoins Osun people to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Fitr to pray for enduring peace and sustainable development for Osun state and Nigeria as a whole, urging Muslims to use their respective"ground of prayers and homes to seek the face of Allah subhanawatahallah to frustrate renewed efforts of some selfish political actors to throw our State into chaos out of desperation to seize power through the backdoor."
He rallies the people not to be despaired by the antics of selfish politicians bent on reversing the trend of progress in the state, but maintain faith in Allah who is the most powerful, declaring his unwavering commitment to the mission of moving Osun state to a greater height.
"In praise to Allah subhanawatahallah, I rejoice with Osun Muslim Ummah for the grace of witnessing the conclusion of this year's Holy month of Ramadan. The 29-day of fasting is Allah's way of bringing us closer to Him in worship and impressing on us the significance of charity," the Governor was quoted as saying.
"While the time for celebration is here, it is however important to impress on faithfuls to make good meaning of the invaluable lessons that the Holy month afforded and let the culture of selfless service, peace and love for fellow human beings be reflected in you always.
"It is my earnest wish for the celebration to be done in modest, and that we must extend hands of giving to families struggling with ends meet so as to let the wind of the joyful moment spread to their homes too, in accordance with the teaching of the Holy Prophet of Allah, Mohammad (S.A.W)."
