Nigerian Tinubu Must Go movement activities

Overview

The ‘Tinubu Must Go’ (TMG) movement, led by lawyer Abba Hikima, has emerged as a significant source of political debate in Nigeria. Initially, the movement focused on social media mobilization and conducting online polls to determine which opposition candidates to support for the 2027 presidential election. While the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu defended its economic reforms, the TMG movement gained traction by citing economic hardships.

The situation escalated when police in Kano blocked a TMG meeting by deploying over 10 mobile police vehicles to a private venue. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD), condemned the blockade as a violation of the right to peaceful assembly and a sign of repression against political opposition.
