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.

Karounwi, in his resignation letter, explicitly stated that his unwavering loyalty lies with Hon. Oluwole Oke and, as such, he will be joining him in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
His departure underscores what some observers are calling a continued exodus from the PDP, with key figures and mobilisers leaving the party. This latest resignation highlights the growing sentiment that the PDP is losing ground, influence, and prominent members—potentially altering the political landscape as the 2027 elections approach.
In his letter, Karounwi expressed gratitude to the members of the PDP for their shared journey and wished them well in their future endeavours. However, he made it clear that Hon. Oluwole Oke remains the sole leader he recognises and values.

The shift in allegiance by Karounwi Festus Olamilekan is poised to have implications for the political dynamics in Obokun Local Government Area.
