There was drama in Plateau State on Saturday after some residents set ablaze the crested caps and brooms they received from the All Progressives Congress, APC, after the party’s presidential campaign rally.

The residents, who were seen in a viral video, angrily gathered the items and burnt them in the open, saying they were tired of empty promises.

According to the report, the crowd had trooped out for the rally, collected the campaign items, and later decided to burn them to show their anger over hardship and insecurity in the state.

“We are hungry. We don’t need caps and brooms. We need food, jobs and security,” one of the residents said in the video.

Another resident said the APC has failed the people of Plateau, especially after the recent attacks that left many families homeless.

The video has since sparked reactions, with many Nigerians mocking the party while others said the action shows the level of anger in the land.

At the time of filing this report, the APC in Plateau State has not reacted to the incident.
