Angry protesters in Abuja’s Area 1 tore down President Bola Tinubu’s campaign posters while chanting “Tinubu Must Go” and expressing frustration over worsening hardship, hunger and insecurity in Nigeria.

Angry protesters on Friday stormed the Area 1 district of Abuja, tearing down campaign posters and banners bearing the image of President Bola Tinubu.

According to Daily Post, footage circulating on social media showed demonstrators removing posters from walls, shops and poles before destroying larger banners.

The protesters, reportedly comprising mostly youths, were seen stepping on the campaign materials while chanting “Tinubu Must Go” as residents and passersby watched.

Some demonstrators also expressed frustration over economic hardship, hunger and insecurity across the country.

However, the immediate circumstances that triggered the protest remained unclear.

The incident comes amid growing political activities ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

Similar footage showing the destruction of presidential campaign materials has reportedly circulated from other locations.

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police recently warned against the unlawful removal or destruction of political posters and billboards.

Police authorities maintained that such actions could constitute criminal offences under existing laws governing political activities and public order.
