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.

This press statement is issued solely in the interest of truth and public enlightenment concerning the ongoing dispute over the Osogbo Grammar School land.
It is important to clarify that the Osun State Government does not support, encourage, or protect any form of land grabbing in Osogbo or in any part of the state.
With specific reference to the Osogbo Grammar School land, there is no approval by the government for the takeover, demolition, or alteration of any school structure by one Lekan Salami or any group of person.
Available information indicates that the Osun State Government is already challenging the consent judgment being paraded by the said Lekan Salami, which is allegedly being used as a basis to illegally acquire the school land. This legal step clearly shows that the government does not recognise the said judgment as a legitimate claim to ownership of the Osogbo Grammar School property.
Any act suggesting forcible entry, removal of roofs, demolition of buildings, or intimidation of stakeholders should therefore not be attributed to the Osun State Government, as such actions do not carry government backing or authorisation.
There is also no indication that the government has authorised the use of police or any security agency to harass alumni members or support any private land claim.
The dispute remains strictly a subject of judicial determination, and all concerned parties are encouraged to respect the rule of law and allow due process to prevail.
However, His Royal Majesty, Oba Jimoh Olanipekun Larooye II, the Ataoja of Osogbo, has been performing commendably in the fight against land grabbing across Osogbo. Credible information indicates that Kabiyesi will never allow any land grabber to intimidate residents or unlawfully seize anyone’s land. Furthermore, there is reliable evidence that Kabiyesi has taken decisive steps to curb land-grabbing activities and will not permit anyone to defraud or cheat another person.
This clarification is made to set the record straight, prevent misinformation, and reduce unnecessary tension within Osogbo and the wider public domain.
