2027: North in Focus as ‘Tinubu Must Go’ Campaign Gathers Momentum

The Tinubu Must Go Movement is gaining visibility in Northern Nigeria amid rising living costs, insecurity and calls for better governance ahead of the 2027 general elections. Co-founder Barrister Hamza Nuhu Dantani says the campaign targets the policies of Bola Tinubu’s administration and their effects on citizens, not the president personally. The movement is demanding economic relief, improved security and greater accountability, while pledging to act peacefully and within the law. Analyst Murtala Muhammad sees support among some young people in the North but says lasting influence will depend on TMG’s grassroots presence, organisation and ability to mobilise voters.
