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.

Hon. Busayo Oluwole Oke, the lawmaker representing Ijesa North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has sounded the political trumpet, and it's not subtle. In a recent post on his official Facebook handle, Oke likened the All Progressives Congress (APC) to a divine evacuation vessel: "Oko Noah," primed for takeoff ahead of the 2026 gubernatorial elections in Osun State.
“August 8, 2026, is almost here. The APC vessel Oko Noah is about to take off,” he declared. “You better enter now before the doors are closed.”
Like a modern-day Noah calling voters aboard, Oke painted the picture of a political ark-sanctified, strategic, and storm-ready. The message? Get in line with the APC or risk drowning in irrelevance.
And while some may scoff, Oke claims that fear is already brewing in the opposition camp. "I sympathise with some of my brothers and friends in the opposing camp. They’re scared of what will happen in 2026 and 2027," he wrote, his words landing somewhere between premonition and provocation.
But it’s not all brimstone and ballots. The lawmaker, known for his consistent grassroots engagement, also took a moment to highlight his evolving relationship with the digital generation. "My newest title now is ‘Baba awon Data Boys,’ and honestly, I’m loving it," he said, nodding to his growing rapport with tech-savvy youth mobilisers.
Beyond metaphors and monikers, Oke reaffirmed his commitment to political education and civic enlightenment. He emphasized that party loyalists should not shy away from political evangelism, urging them to wear their APC colours with pride and push the party’s message boldly into every street, screen, and marketplace.
In Osun’s turbulent political waters, Oke’s APC ark is boarding. Whether voters see it as a vessel of deliverance or a cruise ship of recycled promises 2026 will tell.
