Kano APC Rally: Supporters Protest Alleged N3,000 Payment

Some residents of Kano who attended an All Progressives Congress (APC) mobilisation rally have protested what they described as an inadequate N3,000 payment allegedly given to them after the event.**

The aggrieved participants expressed frustration over the amount, saying it was not enough to cover their transportation expenses to the rally.

Some of the residents, who spoke in Hausa, were seen wearing APC-branded shirts while questioning the payment allegedly made to them after participating in the political gathering.

The protest occurred amid an APC mobilisation exercise in Kano, where the party inaugurated a support structure for the reelection bid of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.

In footage from the event, some participants complained about the money they allegedly received and said the amount did not reflect the expenses they incurred to attend the rally.

One of the men claimed that some attendees had borrowed money to pay their transport fares before travelling to the campaign venue, only to receive N3,000 afterwards.

“If you people keep giving us N3,000 for the APC campaign, we won’t come again. Some of us borrowed transport fare to come to the campaign ground and they are only paying us N3,000,” he said.

The claim about the payment could not be independently verified from the information available in the report. The APC had not publicly responded to the complaints at the time of publication.

The incident has drawn attention to the challenges surrounding political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections, particularly concerns over the costs incurred by grassroots supporters attending large campaign events.
