brings doom.”
Nigerians have taken to social media to
express disappointment over the construction of a giant broom in front of the
Abuja City Gate.
Residents of the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT) noted that as of Thursday, it wasn’t clear what was being constructed
when they began, but afterwards, it turned out to be the broom symbol of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
A Twitter user, @adex0057, uploaded a
photograph of the broom taken as on Thursday, and he tagged the Guinness World
Records (GWR) in his caption.
The caption read: “WORLD LARGEST BROOM
Attention: @GWR This is the Largest Broom anybody or group has ever [erected]
anywhere in the world. This is work of some group of volunteers of
@OfficialAPCNg . It deserves your recognition and honour. Location: Abuja;
Date: 02/07/2019.”
The tweet by @adex0057 was retweeted by Rauf
Aregbesola, immediate past Governor of Osun State.
However, the presence of the APC broom has
been greeted by anger and in some cases, disappointment.
@dondekojo wrote: “These ones are installing
a giant broom in front of a national monument? How insane is this?" while
@Shawnife wrote: “These people don’t even rate us again. A huge broom has now
been mounted in front of the City Gate.”
While @Biisi96 wrote: “What’s the meaning of
this useless broom they are erecting at city gate? So this is the madness they
were up to. I was confused as to what it was yesterday evening. But alas it was
buffoonery in the making. I’m tired abeg,” while @TheIgboWolf wrote: “The broom
doesn't represent anything to Nigerian or Nigeria. It's a symbol of a party,
just one political party. But it has been mounted at the front of FCT. Again,
this country is not for all of us.”
@Waynetipsy_ng tweeted: “#2019elections APC
Mounts Gigantic Metal Broom At City Gate, Abuja. The broom allegedly cost a
whooping N250million.”
A tweet by @dulzura_2badtz read: “Just a
random question from a curious observer... so is this broom a national monument
or it’s just for the election purpose and how much was budgeted for this?”

@Mohd_abdul_’s tweet read: “Going to the
FRANCE capital you would see... The ‘EIFFEL TOWER’ but coming to Abuja, the
Nigeria capital you would end up seeing the ‘BIG BROOM’”, while @afrispheric
wrote: “Imagine driving into the capital city of a country in the 21st century
and one of the first things you see is a BROOM. Not a rocket. Not a super
computer. Not a freedom fighter. But a dirty looking broom.”
