A man staged a dramatic protest at the national secretariat of Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, demanding recognition for his role in the party's 2023 election campaign. The protester arrived at the premises holding a placard that read 'Reward me or kill me.'
Protest Over Alleged Abandonment
The protester claimed he had been abandoned after allegedly selling his house to support campaign activities. Dressed in a blue shirt bearing the party's logo, he said he could no longer afford his children's school fees. The incident drew attention after a video surfaced online late Thursday. The clip first gained traction on Facebook before spreading widely on X through the account @dammiedammie35, attracting significant public reaction.

In the footage, the man is seen walking back and forth at the entrance of the secretariat in broad daylight. He raised his placard and directed his complaints toward the building.
