Participants mobilised for an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally, the party of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu, protested in Enugu State after being offered 4,000 naira each. They said they had spent several hours in the sun supporting the re-election campaign of Tinubu and Enugu Governor Peter Mbah, Daily Post reports.
According to participants quoted by Daily Post, they had been mobilised from 9am to 5pm and believed the amount offered was less than what they had been promised. They also accused the officials responsible for distributing the money of receiving a larger amount than what they intended to give them.
A video circulated on social media shows a confrontation between the dissatisfied participants and those responsible for the payment, according to Daily Post. One version of the scene mentions an amount of 5,000 naira, while participants quoted in the report say they received or were offered 4,000 naira.
