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.

The Liberal Party of Canada yesterday chose Mark Carney, a technocrat with deep experience in financial markets, to replace Justin Trudeau as its leader and the country’s prime minister, and to take on President Trump.
Carney, who steered the Bank of Canada through the 2008 global financial crisis and the Bank of England through Brexit, has never been elected to office. He won 85.9 percent of the votes cast by more than 150,000 Liberal Party members.
