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.

2027 Will Tell: Ijesha North Youth Respond to Political Amnesia of Opportunists, Fire back at Kanmi Ajibola, Irekandu
Politics is not theatre. It is not governed by orchestrated statements or choreographed loyalty. It is service and service, in its purest form, is remembered not in press briefings, but in the tangible impact left on the lives of constituents.
Some state assembly members who once stood under the shade of Hon. Oluwole Oke’s political influence have suddenly discovered the courage to rewrite the script In their desperate bid to align with short-term tides, they forget that the people of Oriade/Obokun have a long memory and history never forgets.
Hon. Oluwole Oke is not a politician of convenience. He is a man forged in the furnace of grassroots struggle, whose political relevance has never been dictated by proximity to power, but by his consistent delivery and dedication to the Ijesa North Federal Constituency.
The allegations currently being thrown around of imagined desperation, assumed endorsements, and crumbling structures are nothing more than fear-induced fiction. The truth remains that Hon. Oke did not just occupy a seat; he built platforms. He nurtured leaders. Many of those who today wear state assembly pins once sought his counsel, his blessing, and his support. And that’s fine. The river gives freely but it does not beg the fish to remember.
“Both of you will come back to Ijesa North in 2027,” are more than a reflection of political realism. They are a reminder that truth cannot be buried under press statements, and loyalty is not erased by headlines.
Your warning, “Do not take any oath again” You know the game, and you’ve seen the script. In 2027, the stage will be set once more and the people will choose not based on noise, but based on history, impact, and vision.
To those now trying to paint Hon. Wole Oke out of the picture: if your claim of grassroots support is true, then meet him, meet us at the ballot. No need for panic or poison-tipped penmanship.
History is watching.
The people are watching.
And in 2027, Ijesa North will speak.
