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.

"A Tattered Road and a Tattered Truth": Youth Alliance Slams Osun Commissioner for Peddling False Claims
The Esa Odo Youth Alliance has fiercely criticized Hon. Mayowa Adejorin, the Osun State Commissioner for Environment and Sanitation, accusing him of spreading “deliberate falsehood” regarding infrastructural development in the community.
During a recent interview on Rave FM, Hon. Adejorin boldly declared that the road in Esa Odo had been tarred under Governor Ademola Adeleke’s administration, a claim the Youth Alliance did not hesitate to label “a blatant lie.” According to the group, the commissioner’s statement is not only misleading but also a calculated attempt to whitewash the failures of the current government.
“The road he claimed has been tarred is nothing but a dusty, pothole-ridden stretch of neglect,” the group said in a strongly worded statement. “What Hon. Adejorin described is a phantom project. The people of Esa Odo live with the reality daily, and no amount of radio spin can change that.”
Calling the interview “a show of shame,” the Youth Alliance said the commissioner had insulted the intelligence of the very people he swore to serve. They stressed that this kind of misinformation damages public trust and exposes a troubling culture of political deceit.
“Instead of championing real progress, Adejorin has chosen to mislead, to pretend, and to gaslight his own people,” the group added. “It’s not just disappointing, it’s disgraceful.”
They further accused the commissioner of betraying his constituency, prioritizing propaganda over tangible impact. “We expected representation, not misrepresentation,” the group declared.
In a direct appeal to Governor Ademola Adeleke, the Alliance urged the state government to rein in its officials and put an end to what they termed “media theatrics.” They called for visible, measurable development instead of “press statement governance.”
“The people of Esa Odo deserve roads they can walk and drive on, not radio drama and imaginary asphalt,” the statement concluded. “We will not be silent while the truth is buried under political mud.”
