Daniel Solomon, a Delta State man and self-confessed All Progressives Congress (APC) member, has made a desperate appeal to the party to take custody of his six children, claiming he can no longer care for them due to severe economic hardship. In a viral video, Solomon gave the APC-led government a 72-hour ultimatum to intervene, warning that he might harm himself and his children if no help arrives.
Man's Plea in Viral Video
In the video, Solomon identified himself as an APC member in Delta State and urged the public to share the footage widely so it could reach government authorities. He stated that he sold all his properties to support the party's campaign during the 2023 general elections and expressed deep disappointment at the lack of assistance despite his sacrifices.
“I beg, I want make you help me post this video, make it reach whoever is concerned. I beg you. I want make them come carry my six children from me within 72 hours because I’m not going to take care of them again,” he said in the video.
Accusations Against Senator and Governor
Solomon accused a serving APC senator in Delta State of contributing to his financial downfall, claiming he lost six vehicles, his house, his marriage, and the chance to continue his legal education. He also appealed to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and other political leaders, noting that he campaigned for them in the 2023 elections.
“I want the APC government to come and take my six children from me within 72 hours. If they don't, I will put something in our food, and all of us will kpaaaå. I have not been myself since I sold all my property to campaign for APC,” he added, as quoted in a tweet by @ChuksEricE on August 4, 2026.
Economic Hardship and Ultimatum
Solomon claimed he has seen the government provide empowerment programmes to other citizens and appealed for urgent support to prevent his situation from worsening. He reiterated his ultimatum: “But if they don’t come carry them within 72 hours, after 72 hours I’ll get no other option than to put something for food, make all of us eat, make everything kuku end.”
The video has sparked widespread reactions online, with many users calling on authorities and relevant agencies to intervene and verify his claims. As of the time of this report, there has been no public response from the APC leadership, the Delta State Government, or the senator he accused.
Context and Related Incidents
This incident comes amid broader economic challenges in Nigeria, where many citizens are struggling to make ends meet. In a related story, a 55-year-old fake lawyer was recently convicted in Lagos for using a forged NBA seal to handle a ₦7.5 million legal brief. Solomon's case highlights the extreme measures some individuals are taking due to financial desperation.
Authorities have yet to comment on the video, but the public outcry suggests a growing demand for accountability and support for citizens who claim to have sacrificed for political parties. The Delta State Government and APC leadership have not issued any statements as of now.
