The development has generated reactions on social media, particularly because Akwanga is located in the home state of the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda.
In the video currently making the rounds online, some individuals were seen setting APC brooms ablaze, an action being interpreted by some observers as a public expression of dissatisfaction with the ruling party.
The circumstances surrounding the incident, including the identity of those involved and the specific reason for the protest, could not be independently verified at the time of filing this report.
However, the footage has sparked debate among Nigerians, with some social media users describing the incident as a sign of growing discontent with the APC and the Tinubu administration.
The development could add to the political pressure facing the ruling party ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly as political parties intensify efforts to consolidate their support bases across the country.
Akwanga’s location in Nasarawa State has also drawn attention to the incident because of Nentawe Yilwatda’s position as the national chairman of the APC.
