Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State erupted in protest on 9 November 2026 after they claimed they were paid only ₦4,000 for attending a campaign rally for the Tinubu‑Peter Mbah re‑election bid.
Video footage that has circulated on social media shows a heated confrontation between the aggrieved participants and campaign officials. The protesters said they had spent the entire day from 9 am to 5 pm under the sun, yet were offered a single payment of ₦4,000 each.
They further alleged that the officials responsible for distributing the money had received a larger sum but were attempting to pay the supporters less than the amount initially promised. “How can you give us only ₦5,000 for coming out from 9 am to 5 pm?” one participant asked in the video.
“We were promised a higher amount, but the officials gave us only ₦4,000,” a protester said.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many viewers questioning the fairness of the payment scheme and the conduct of the campaign staff.
