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.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that political party affiliations in Rivers State no longer matter, insisting that all parties in the state have effectively collapsed into a single political family aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Wike made the assertion on Wednesday while addressing stakeholders at a political gathering held in Asari-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to the former Rivers State governor, the prevailing political reality in the state has transcended party lines, with leaders and supporters rallying behind President Tinubu’s leadership and re-election bid.
“There is no political party in Rivers State again for now. What we have is the Renewed Hope family,” Wike declared.
He stressed that the coalition of interests cutting across party boundaries is driven by a shared commitment to national stability, development, and the consolidation of the current administration’s policies.
Wike noted that political actors in Rivers have chosen unity over division, arguing that governance and performance should take precedence over partisan rivalry.
The FCT minister further urged stakeholders and grassroots leaders to sustain their support for President Tinubu, emphasizing that the Renewed Hope Agenda represents a pathway to economic growth, infrastructural development, and improved governance across the country.
The event in Asari-Toru LGA drew party leaders, community influencers, and political stakeholders from across the area, signaling what Wike described as a growing consensus in Rivers State in support of the Tinubu administration.
