Tension reportedly erupted in Enugu State after some individuals said to have participated in an APC campaign mobilisation exercise confronted officials over alleged failure to pay them the agreed amount.
A video circulating on social media captured the heated confrontation, with the aggrieved participants expressing anger over what they described as an attempt to shortchange them after spending several hours under the sun during the Tinubu–Peter Mbah re-election campaign mobilisation exercise.
According to the participants, they were initially promised a higher amount for their involvement but were allegedly offered just ₦4,000 each after the exercise.
They further alleged that the officials responsible for distributing the funds had received a larger amount but were attempting to pay them less than what had been agreed.
The disagreement reportedly escalated as the aggrieved individuals prevented the officials from driving away, insisting that they receive the full amount they claimed had been promised.
The incident has since attracted attention on social media, raising questions about the treatment of campaign mobilisation participants and the management of funds meant for grassroots political activities.
However, the allegations surrounding the agreed payment and the amount allegedly received by the officials have not been independently verified. The identities and responses of the officials involved were also not immediately established.
