Lagos, Nigeria — A viral video circulating on social media has sparked widespread reactions after a group of women allegedly complained about receiving between ₦600 and ₦1,000 during a political party primary election exercise reportedly linked to the All Progressives Congress.
In the footage, the women expressed dissatisfaction over the amount paid, claiming it was insufficient to cover transportation costs and general expenses incurred while participating in the election process.
One of the women was heard lamenting that the money received did not reflect the economic realities of the moment, stating that transport fares to the venue alone exceeded the amount given. She further claimed that while some participants received ₦1,000, others were reportedly given as little as ₦600.
The video has generated significant debate online, with many users linking the incident to broader concerns about cash inducement during political party primaries in Nigeria. Critics argue that such practices, if accurate, reflect ongoing challenges around political mobilization and voter engagement within party structures.
Others, however, focused on the economic angle, noting that rising inflation and transport costs across the country may have contributed to the frustration expressed by the women.
As of the time of filing this report, there has been no official statement from the party leadership confirming or denying the specific allegations shown in the viral clip.
