Nigerians have taken to social media to react to the erection of a giant broom at the iconic Abuja City Gate by some volunteers of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The broom is the symbol of the ruling APC.
While some Nigerians have hailed the erection of the broom, which is being described as the world’s longest, others have taken a swipe at those behind the project.

Just drove past the installation of a giant broom, the symbol of the ruling party, near the Abuja city gate, a national monument. This shouldn’t be allowed for whatever reason. Cc @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari pic.twitter.com/FsRxO87OsA

Damn it. Why deface the capital city this way? And the FCT Minister approved this? How many votes will this giant broom get you? I bet zero. No sane person will decide to vote the APC on account of this giant broom. So, that makes it a pointless and stupid image. Take it down! pic.twitter.com/P7JETADR7s

The FCT Minister approved the erection of this giant broom in such a location – right beside the city gate – but has twice cancelled – working with an Anyim – an approval to erect the world’s biggest billboard along the same road . Abuse of power! h/t @rotexonline pic.twitter.com/vSwZURaeFz

This APC giant broom project in Abuja, will cost nothing less than 70 – 110 million naira. But let's all pretend like we don't know 😊 pic.twitter.com/6oZ1qsTJF5

They have erected a giant broom at Unity Park near Transcorps Hilton in the centre of Abuja and another one directly in front of the city gate.The broom is the symbol of the ruling APC and a symbol of witchcraft.They are invoking dark forces to stay in power but they will fail.

I will rather not take this with levity. It seems to me to be diabolical. Why at the City gate? Their plans failed right from the start but we are not ignorant of their devices. The man shall still be swept out. #BuhariMustGo

That’s the simplest way to send the message. At that location, people would only pass by and read. Better to get the point in a jiffy. For me, I think the giant broom and the billboard passed the right message

Why are you people complaining because of this ordinary broom at City Gate?
From tomorrow, helicopters will be flying all over Abuja and dropping brooms on everyone's roof.
We die here! pic.twitter.com/TGseuwJ94S
