Social Media Users Slam Police Officer for Assisting APC National Chairman
"Nigerians Criticize Police Officer for Allegedly Serving the Elite by Polishing Ganduje's Shoes"
In today's buzzing online sphere, a Nigerian police officer has found himself in hot waters due to an unexpected act of assistance. Detailed footage circulating online shows this officer bending down to tie the shoelaces of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This incident comes hot on the heels of another controversial video showing some police officers accepting cash from a Chinese national.
According to reports from our website, the video has elicited a wave of reactions, leaving many perplexed about why a police officer in uniform would engage in such a personal task for a political figure of Ganduje's stature[1][2].
@og_cemoni commented, "Can he do the same for an ordinary citizen who is of the same age with Ganduje and he should respect his uniform not the age. There is a whole lot wrong with it for a policeman in uniform to be doing that. Does Ganduje not have personal aides?"
@Monieca added her thoughts, "And tomorrow expect the police man to arrest him."
@kelvin_kertz couldn't help but question, "In Nigeria, Police officers are custodians of the law for the poor masses and errand boys for politicians."
@Anthony Abraham quipped, "Be like npf go begin add ability to double as house epp, nanny, shukushaka to their CVs at this point."
@laystan echoed the sentiments of many, "This is Nigeria where the security forces are slaves to the elite."
With the video garnering a mix of opinions, @ayenielijahofficial tried to offer a different perspective, "Policemen doing busybodies because he wants to remain with APC National chairman. You may not know the role Ganduje played in the man's life. He gets some people wey go help you, elevate you ...you can kpai for them if need be. Whoever recorded this video has just lost his/her job and closeness to Powerful People."
