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 Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aribisala Care Foundation, Barrister Abiodun Aribisala, an internationally acclaimed tax consultant and a leading figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has reaffirmed his unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reforms. He described the reforms as critical steps towards ensuring long-term national stability and economic prosperity.
As part of his continued efforts to cushion the effects of current economic challenges, Barrister Aribisala once again led a large-scale food distribution exercise for vulnerable residents of Ijebu Ijesa, in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State. The initiative, which has become a regular intervention by the Aribisala Care Foundation, aims to bring relief to communities feeling the pinch of government policies intended for national economic recovery.
Speaking during the outreach, Barrister Aribisala noted that the Foundation has consistently reached out to residents, especially during critical periods like Easter. “Periodically, we take to the streets, engage with the people, and share food items with them. Easter is a season of reflection, sharing, caring, and thanksgiving, and this gesture is our own way of touching lives during this important time,” he said.
Also speaking at the event, a community leader, Chief Ade Ajibola, praised Barrister Aribisala’s initiative, describing it as a significant relief for many households. “Anybody who undertakes this kind of effort is doing a lot for the people. It’s not easy these days, and anyone who receives this food today will surely go home happy and pray for the benefactor,” Ajibola remarked.
Barrister Aribisala, while addressing journalists, emphasized the need for Nigerians to remain patient as the federal government continues to implement critical institutional and structural reforms. He explained that while economic reforms may initially present challenges, they are essential for the nation’s long-term development. “As an economist, I understand that structural reforms can introduce short-term hardships. However, with the policies now being pursued to stabilize macroeconomic fundamentals, I am confident that the country will soon witness remarkable economic transformation,” he stated.
The philanthropic lawyer also reassured the public of his commitment to sustaining such humanitarian efforts through the Aribisala Care Foundation. He stressed the importance of supporting vulnerable populations during challenging times and called on well-meaning individuals and organizations to join hands in alleviating hunger and hardship in communities.
Through initiatives like this, Barrister Abiodun Aribisala continues to demonstrate not only his professional excellence but also his deep compassion for the people, further cementing his reputation as a true servant-leader committed to the welfare of his community and the progress of Nigeria.
