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 chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has described his alleged suspension by the suspended chairman of Ward 01, Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area, Gbenga Fagbamila, and 18 others as a ruse.
Oyintiloye, while reacting to the alleged suspension, said that those who signed the suspension letter were themselves suspended members of the APC working for the opposition in the state.
He said the allegations concerning the unauthorized takeover of the Executive Assistant (EA) slot and the accompanying funds amounting to N5.6 million were aimed solely at discrediting him.
Oyintiloye clarified that he was not in charge of the said EA and did not have access to the funds in question.
He added that he has reported the disgruntled members who issued the statement to the party leadership in the state, noting that they were only seeking cheap relevance.
He further stated that the alleged misconduct leveled against him was “a lie from the pit of hell,” adding that he has been a loyal and respectful member of the party since its inception.
“If they truly have the power to suspend me, why can’t they wait to do so through the proper party executive channels before going to the press?
“The same Gbenga Fagbamila, who was suspended from the party for embezzling N7.5 million meant for the 2022 election, is signing my alleged suspension letter alongside other disgruntled members.
“It is a real shame. If they are truly bona fide members of the party, let them appear before the party executives at the state level to defend the allegations leveled against me.
“The alleged suspension is a joke of the century,” he said
Oyintiloye said all the allegations in the letter were lies which cannot be substantiated.
He said he remained one of the most respected member of the party in the state and will continue to play is role a one of the strong pillar of APC in the state.
Oyintiloye clarified urged members of the public to discard his alleged suspension, adding that he will continue to remain loyal member of the party
