An online campaign demanding the resignation of President Bola Tinubu has surpassed 2,000 signatures, drawing attention to growing criticism of the administration’s handling of security, economic and governance issues.

The petition, hosted on 1000reasons.vote, had recorded 2,074 signatures as of June 24, 2026, according to organisers.

Campaign Lists 500 Grievances

Titled “An Open Letter to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu – 1000 Reasons,” the initiative presents 500 documented complaints grouped under 22 categories.

Organisers said the petition was created to hold the government accountable and to document what they described as failures in leadership since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.

The campaign references Tinubu’s previous criticism of former President Goodluck Jonathan during periods of insecurity and economic challenges.

Security and Economy Dominate Complaints

Among the issues highlighted are insecurity, civilian deaths, kidnappings, terrorist attacks and economic hardship.

The petition cites incidents including military airstrikes that reportedly resulted in civilian casualties, mass abductions of schoolchildren and recurring attacks by armed groups in different parts of the country.

It also points to rising fuel prices, inflation, naira depreciation and worsening food insecurity as evidence of economic distress affecting millions of Nigerians.

Supporters Back Resignation Call

The campaign has attracted support from some opposition figures, activists and members of the public who argue that the government has failed to meet expectations.

Supporters of the initiative have used the hashtag #TinubuResignNow on social media to promote the petition and encourage additional signatories.

The organisers maintain that the listed grievances are backed by publicly available reports and data, urging Nigerians to independently verify the claims.

Government Defends Reforms

The Tinubu administration has repeatedly defended its policies, arguing that reforms such as fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate adjustments were necessary to stabilise the economy.

Government officials have highlighted improvements in foreign reserves, increased FAAC allocations to states and economic growth figures as evidence that the reforms are yielding results.

Supporters of the president have dismissed the petition as politically motivated and insist that the administration should be judged at the end of its tenure.

Debate Continues

The petition reflects the sharp divide in public opinion over Tinubu’s leadership nearly three years into his administration.

While critics point to persistent hardship and insecurity, supporters argue that difficult reforms are laying the foundation for long-term economic recovery.
