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.

Honourable Muniru Adebayo Raji, Special Adviser to Osun State Governor on Political Affairs, has affirmed that Governor Ademola Adeleke has fulfilled every aspect of the political agreement reached with the people of Osogbo before his election.
Speaking on a popular current affairs dialogue podcast 'Lero Temi' hosted by Mukhtar Ajelogbon of OsunReporters online TV, Muniru confirmed that an agreement was made at the palace of the Ataoja of Osogbo in the lead-up to the 2022 election.
“Truly, there was an agreement,” he said. “If His Excellency Ademola Adeleke became governor, Osogbo would produce the Secretary to the State Government (SSG). It was also agreed that Osogbo would be prioritized in developmental projects and would not be sidelined during appointments just because an indigene had been given the SSG position.”
According to him, the Adeleke administration has honored that pact in full.
“Everything the governor promised, he has fulfilled. And let me add, the overhead bridge at Oke-Fia was not even part of the agreement, it’s an extra initiative borne out of the governor’s vision to modernize Osogbo.”
He also addressed the rumor trailing the designation of the state's administrative seat.
“People talk about the state secretariat address. But from the onset of this administration, the government’s official letterheads have carried ‘Osun State Secretariat, Gbongan Road, Osogbo.’ At the entrance to the Secretariat, it is boldly written: ‘Osun State Secretariat’ There’s no ambiguity,” he clarified.
Muniru reaffirmed Osogbo’s loyalty to Governor Adeleke and dismissed any speculation about weakened ties between the state capital and the governor’s political base.
“We made the agreement openly, and the governor kept his word. Osogbo people recognize that, and they will vote massively for Governor Adeleke again in 2026,” he said confidently.
With political trust at stake, the message from Lero Temi was clear: in Osun State, a promise made by Governor Adeleke is a promise kept, and Osogbo stands as proof.
