To commemorate Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos distributed free bread to residents, sparking a frenzy among those seeking relief from economic hardship. The gesture, while welcomed by many, raises questions about the role of politics in addressing poverty and food insecurity.
Citizens are lining up as Nigerian Army personnel direct them in batches to receive a loaf of bread each, provided by individuals wearing customized President Bola Tinubu and APC stakeholder T-shirts.
A viral video has captured the moment when thousands of Nigerians struggled to get loaves of bread distributed by chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State.

The Fount gathered that the video was recorded on Tuesday during the country’s 64th Independence Anniversary.
A Nigerian netizen on Twitter, @SavvyRinu, who shared the video, wrote “Dear Nigerians, is this the future you want for your children?”
Similar reactions were seen on X regarding the video.
A user, @nonconformist1 said: “The Lagos he built still shares loaves of bread at 1 per head 😂😂😂😂😂”
Owing to this growing hardship, Nigerians recently held massive protests against bad governance in August and on October 1.
