#TINUBUMUSTGO TRENDS ON TWITTER, NIGERIANS MAKE SIX DEMANDS
Nigerians have taken to Twitter with a vengeance, igniting a social media firestorm with the hashtag #TinubuMustGo.
The call for action has become a rallying cry, demanding a shift in the political landscape.
This comes in response to the recent introduction of a 0.5% Cyber Security Level for cash transactions, which has sparked widespread outrage among Nigerians.
Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election has also voiced his strong opposition to the new policy.
According to Obi, President Bola Tinubu is only interested in “milking a dying economy.”
Other prominent Nigerians, including some of Tinubu’s own supporters, have also joined the chorus of disapproval.
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Presidential Campaign Council, Adetokunbo Pearse said that President Bola Tinubu was just a book keeper, while describing his economic policies, especially on petrol subsidy removal as a disaster.
Pearse who spoke while featuring on a Channels TV programme, on Monday, had said Nigerians desire to know the actual landing cost of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) popularly known as petrol.
He had said instead of destroying the economy with total subsidy removal, President Tinubu should have thoroughly scrutinised the Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, over the fluctuations in landing cost.
In a series of tweets made by Nigerian netizens on X, the citizens regretted voting for Tinubu in 2023 general election.

As the “Tinubu Must Go” hashtag continues to trend, Nigerians are uniting behind six key demands:
1. Reverse tuition subsidy removal
2. Reverse electricity tariff increase
3. Reverse stamp duty increase
4. Increase minimum wage
5. Cancel cyber security level
6. 50% slash in salaries of National Assembly members
These demands reflect the growing frustration among Nigerians with the current state of the economy and the government’s policies. As the hashtag continues to gain traction, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to these demands and the growing call for change.
The “Tinubu Must Go” movement is a clear indication of the power of social media in mobilizing public opinion and driving political change.As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Nigerians are demanding action, and they are demanding it now.
