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.

In a significant political shift within the Oriade Local Government Area, Mrs. Deborah Oladimeji, a respected PDP delegate, grassroots mobiliser, and financier, has formally announced her resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter dated May 1st, 2025, addressed to PDP leadership in Ward 12, Erinmo, Mrs. Oladimeji expressed her gratitude for the opportunities and trust she received during her time with the party. Her departure, she noted, was made “after careful consideration” and in direct alignment with the recent exit of her political mentor, Honourable Oluwole Oke.
“Serving as a leader in Ward 12 and as a delegate of the PDP has been a significant part of my political journey,” she wrote. “It is with a sense of responsibility and reflection that I step aside, recognizing the impact my departure may have.”
Known for her pivotal role in grassroots mobilisation and consistent financial backing of party initiatives in Oriade, Oladimeji’s exit is seen as a major blow to the PDP’s local structure. Her move signals growing momentum around Wole Oke’s political realignment efforts, which have continued to reshape Osun’s political landscape in recent weeks.
With this development, attention now turns to the ripple effects it may cause within Ward 12 and beyond, as supporters and loyalists begin to reconsider their allegiances ahead of the upcoming political season.
