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.

Biden’s medical team disclosed in May 2025 that he had been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer, describing it as “aggressive but hormone-sensitive.” Doctors expressed cautious optimism, noting that it is likely to respond to ongoing treatment.
This latest operation follows his earlier battle with skin cancer. In 2023, while still serving as president, Biden had a lesion removed during a routine physical, which was later confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer.
Concerns about Biden’s health and fitness for office were frequent during his presidency. In July 2024, he ended his re-election campaign after a shaky debate performance against Donald Trump raised fresh questions within the Democratic Party.
Biden remains the oldest person ever elected to the U.S. presidency, a record later surpassed when Donald Trump, now 79, was elected president in 2024.
