A video showing some residents of Oyo State chanting in support of the All Progressives Congress after receiving sachets of Semovita at an outreach event has sparked reactions online.
The video, shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, showed residents holding 1kg sachets of semovita while declaring support for APC 2027.
In the video, some of the residents were heard chanting, “Jagaban 2027.”
The clip has since generated reactions on X, with users criticising the development and expressing concerns over poverty and political influence.
A user identified on X as #SemiNigerian wrote, “They just sold themselves for less than 4,000 naira. My God.”
Another user, #Omo_Barogun, said, “You no fit understand this country. May God heal us. Weaponizing poverty is the only method our politicians have at their disposal.”
Reacting to the video, #Byrdbenson911 wrote, “Blame it on poverty. And the person giving that insult knows about it. And he will continue to keep them there in their poverty.”
#EphraimObi001 also wrote, “Chai! Seeing this kind of thing shatters my heart. Why can’t Nigerians learn for once?”
