Nigerians Protest In Abuja, Chant ‘Tinubu Must Go’ Over Hunger
Protesters on Wednesday staged a demonstration around the Federal High Court in Abuja, chanting “Tinubu Must Go” and expressing dissatisfaction with the economic situation in the country.
The demonstrators reportedly raised concerns over hunger, rising living costs and the hardship confronting Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The protest comes amid growing public criticism of the Federal Government over economic challenges and worsening living conditions.
The demonstration also coincided with ongoing court proceedings involving human rights activist and African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, who is facing trial over his social media comments about President Tinubu.
Sowore has remained a vocal critic of the administration and has repeatedly called for greater accountability from the government.
His ongoing legal battle has attracted public attention, particularly following recent court decisions involving requests by his defence team to summon witnesses, including the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Amupitan, and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe.
The protest reflects growing political tensions and public dissatisfaction as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general elections.
However, further details about the organisers, number of participants and the response of security agencies to Wednesday’s demonstration were not immediately available.
