APC Kano rally supporters have protested after allegedly receiving N3,000 for attending a political campaign event in Kano State.
Some of the residents said the payment was too small to cover the cost of travelling to and from the rally.
The protesters expressed their frustration in Hausa. They said they expected better support after taking part in the event.
According to footage from the gathering, several aggrieved supporters wore shirts bearing the All Progressives Congress (APC) logo. They questioned why the party allegedly paid them only N3,000.
The protest came as the APC stepped up political mobilisation in Kano ahead of the 2027 general election.
The party recently inaugurated a support structure aimed at backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
However, the reported dispute over payment has drawn attention to the challenges political parties face when organising large grassroots gatherings.
Political rallies often attract supporters from different communities. Organisers may provide transport, food or other forms of support to encourage attendance.
In this case, the protesters argued that the alleged N3,000 payment did not match the expenses they incurred.
The footage does not independently establish how many people received the money or whether the payment was officially authorised by the APC.
The APC Kano rally has therefore generated discussion beyond the political mobilisation itself, with questions now being raised about how supporters are treated during campaign events.
Kano remains an important political centre in northern Nigeria. The state has also played a significant role in presidential elections because of its large voting population.
As political parties prepare for the next general election, grassroots mobilisation is expected to intensify across the country.
For the APC, the incident highlights the need to manage campaign activities carefully while maintaining strong relationships with supporters.
