Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has endorsed the Tinubu Must Go (TMG) movement, saying the campaign reflects a collective determination to “rescue” Nigeria.
According to a statement issued on Monday, Atiku, the
presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), endorsed the
movement after hosting Abba Hikima, one of the conveners of TMG, at his
residence in Abuja.
The “Tinubu Must Go” campaign gained prominence during the
Democracy Day nationwide protests on June 12, 2026, when protesters in cities,
including Lagos and Abuja chanted the slogan while demanding action over
insecurity and the abduction of teachers and schoolchildren in Ogbomoso, Oyo
state.
However, the campaign became an organised movement in
mid-September, with its organisers describing it as a non-partisan group
focused on public enlightenment and building strong to Tinubu’s second-term
agenda.
The movement subsequently conducted a 24-hour online poll
from September 24 to 25, asking respondents who they would vote for among the
leading opposition presidential candidates.
Atiku said he was impressed by the recent poll, which,
according to him, attracted 109,799 respondents.
“I am particularly encouraged by the depth of citizen
engagement reflected in the exercise, in which my candidacy received an
overwhelming 73.6% of the votes, with the ADC emerging as the preferred
political platform,” he said.
“Beyond the outcome of the poll, what is significant is the
larger aspiration it represents: a growing national yearning for change and the
collective determination to rescue Nigeria from its present trajectory.
“I fully endorse the movement and invite all Nigerians who
share this aspiration to join this noble cause.”
The ADC presidential candidate said he looks forward to
engaging with the wider national leadership of the movement as it works towards
the broader objective of rebuilding a united, prosperous and democratic
Nigeria.
