A female fuel attendant in Bauchi State, identified as Grace, has enjoyed a dramatic twist of fate after reportedly losing her job for dancing to a campaign song of a governorship candidate.
Grace, who worked at A.Y.A Shafa Filling Station in Bauchi, reportedly attracted attention after a video of her dancing enthusiastically to a campaign song associated with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) governorship candidate, Dr Yakubu Adamu, went viral on social media.
The incident reportedly happened when members of Adamu’s campaign team stopped at the filling station to buy fuel, with the candidate’s campaign song playing from their vehicle.
Apparently carried away by the music, Grace broke into a dance, displaying excitement as the campaign team watched.
However, what appeared to be an innocent moment of excitement reportedly cost her employment, as reports subsequently emerged that the filling station management had dismissed her over the incident.
The development generated reactions on social media, with many expressing sympathy for the young woman and questioning why dancing to a political campaign song should cost an employee her livelihood.
But just when Grace appeared to have been left counting her losses, Adamu reportedly stepped in after learning about her predicament.
The former Bauchi State Commissioner for Finance was said to have invited her for a meeting at his residence, where he announced a series of rewards that have turned her misfortune into an unexpected opportunity.
Grace reportedly received a brand-new Bajaj motorcycle, ₦1 million in cash to start a business and an employment offer.
She was also reportedly promised a one-year salary, giving her additional financial support following the alleged loss of her previous job.
The gesture has attracted attention online, with supporters praising the politician for coming to the young woman’s assistance.
Interestingly, Adamu is already positioning himself for the 2027 governorship election in Bauchi State, having emerged as the APM’s flag bearer.
He is a former Commissioner for Finance under Governor Bala Mohammed’s administration.
However, the circumstances surrounding Grace’s reported dismissal have yet to be independently established. The filling station management has not publicly explained the alleged decision, while neither Grace nor the candidate has issued a detailed public account independently confirming all the reported rewards.
