Nigerians rally under the hashtag #TinubuMustGo, demanding President Bola Tinubu's resignation amid economic hardships. Planned nationwide protests from August 1 to 10 reflect growing frustration over economic mismanagement. Social media reactions highlight public outrage and calls for accountability, warning against potential government interference.
Ahead of planned nationwide protests, Nigerians are mobilizing under the hashtag #TinubuMustGo to demand President Bola Tinubu’s resignation. This surge in activism reflects widespread frustration over economic hardships plaguing the country.
The movement, gaining traction on X (formerly Twitter), is driven by claims that President Tinubu has failed to address the nation’s economic crisis effectively. Protest organizers, particularly youths disillusioned by the current economic conditions, have scheduled demonstrations from August 1 to 10.
Social media posts reflect growing discontent. Users have warned that any violence against protesters will lead to demands for Tinubu’s resignation. Others criticized the government for alleged misallocation of funds, citing extravagant expenditures on presidential luxuries while ordinary Nigerians face economic struggles. Such posts highlight the sentiment that the administration’s priorities are misaligned with public needs.
As the protest dates approach, authorities and citizens alike are bracing for heightened tensions. The outcome of these demonstrations could have substantial implications for Nigeria’s political landscape and the administration's legitimacy.
