Some residents of Kano who took part in the campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have protested the N3,000 payment they allegedly received from the party.

Pouring out their frustration, some of the residents, who spoke in the Hausa language, stated that the amount was too meagre to cover their transport expenses.

This development came against the backdrop of a political mobilisation by the APC in Kano, where the party inaugurated a support structure for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu in next year’s general election.

In the footage, the aggrieved supporters, seen wearing APC-branded shirts, questioned the amount allegedly given to them after attending the campaign.

According to one of the men, some people who partook in the rally had borrowed money to pay their transport fares before arriving at the campaign ground, 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,” the angry man said.
