Tinubu Must Stay Movement Launches Campaign for 2027 Elections

The Tinubu Must Stay (TMS) Movement has committed to countering falsehoods against President Bola Tinubu with evidence-based narratives and civic engagement as Nigeria approaches the 2027 general election. Established by citizens advocating for the continuity of Tinubu's administration, TMS announced its initiative during a press conference in Abuja marking Nigeria's 66th independence anniversary.

National Convener Ibrahim Uba noted that upon taking office on May 29, 2023, Tinubu faced significant fiscal, monetary, security, and social challenges. The administration implemented major policy changes, including the removal of the petrol subsidy and foreign-exchange reforms, which have led to increased living costs for Nigerians.

Uba stated that TMS will focus on explaining government policies, addressing misinformation, and facilitating public discussions on the administration's record. The movement will utilize digital explainers, community dialogues, and media partnerships to enhance understanding of public policies.

Uba also highlighted improvements in Nigeria's economy, with a reported 4.43% real GDP growth in Q2 2026.
