2027: Tinubu Must Go, He Wan Use Hunger K!ll Us — Northern Youths Say As They Destroy Campaign Posters Of The President

Angry youths in parts of Northern Nigeria, particularly in Kano State, have taken to the streets in protest against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, accusing him of subjecting Nigerians to extreme economic hardship. The demonstrators were seen tearing down 2027 campaign posters and billboards bearing the president’s image, chanting phrases like “Tinubu Must Go” and “He wan use hunger kill us.”

The incident occurred around major streets in Kano, where a large billboard displaying the president and other APC figures with a 2027 campaign slogan was violently pulled down. Videos circulating on social media show the irate youths using sticks and bare hands to destroy the signage while others cheered them on. Similar occurrences were also reported in Kaduna and Nasarawa states.

The protests are rooted in growing frustration over the deteriorating economic conditions in the country. Many protesters cited the removal of fuel subsidies, steep rise in inflation, continued depreciation of the naira, and escalating food prices as reasons for their anger. The lack of job opportunities, insecurity, and increase in banditry and kidnappings have also deepened the resentment, especially in the North where such issues are particularly intense.

While some northern political groups have condemned the destruction of the campaign materials, they acknowledged that the protesters’ grievances reflect a genuine sense of abandonment among the people. Groups such as the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum and the Northern Youth Council have urged the Tinubu-led government to take urgent steps to address the worsening conditions.

The protest is seen as a clear warning sign to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections,
