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 significant development ahead of the 2027 general elections, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress.

The move signals a major political realignment and is expected to reshape coalition dynamics as parties and power blocs begin early positioning ahead of the 2027 elections.
Observers believe Kwankwaso’s defection could strengthen the ADC’s national appeal, particularly in the North, where he commands a loyal grassroots following through the Kwankwasiyya movement.

As the 2027 race gradually takes shape, Kwankwaso’s latest move reinforces his relevance in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape and sets the stage for intensified competition among emerging alliances.
