‘Tinubu Must Go’ Sentiment Pervades Abuja Streets As President’s Posters, Banners Pulled Down

November 14, 2026November 14, 2026 admin

Area 1 in Abuja was Friday invaded by irate protesters who tore down posters and banners bearing the image of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Footage of the incident, which has now gone viral on social media, show the protesters bringing down the campaign materials, stepping on them and chanting “Tinubu Must Go” as onlookers watch.

The protesters, mostly youths, as seen in the footage around the busy Area 1 axis, pull off posters pasted on walls, shops and poles, before tearing the big banners into pieces.

Some of the protesters are also heard complaining about hardship, hunger and insecurity in the country.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the protest at Area 1, one of the busiest commercial areas in the Federal Capital Territory.

The incident comes at a time similar videos of youths tearing down Tinubu’s posters and billboards have been circulating from different parts of the country.

It also comes days after the Inspector-General of Police warned against the deliberate destruction, defacement or unlawful removal of political campaign materials, saying such acts were criminal offences punishable by law.

Ghana Redesigns Cedi To Celebrate National Heritage

In her move to modernise its currency and strengthen protection against counterfeiting, Ghana Thursday introduced a new series of banknotes featuring prominent historical figures and national landmarks. The new notes, known as the Heritage Series, were unveiled by the Bank of Ghana on November 12, and will enter circulation on December 1, 2026. They will replace neither the existing currency nor its value. Instead, the redesigned notes will circulate alongside the current banknotes, which remain legal tender. The series retains Ghana’s eight denominations: GH₵1, GH₵2, GH₵5, GH₵10, GH₵20, GH₵50, GH₵100 and GH₵200. The central bank said the redesign came after more than two decades of using the core designs of the existing notes. Each bank note highlights a different aspect of Ghana’s history, culture and national identity, featuring influential figures alongside important landmarks. The GH₵1 note honours Agnes Oforiwa Tagoe-Quarcoopome, a pioneering Accra market trader and market queen. It also features Makola Market, reflecting the contribution of market women to Ghana’s economy. The GH₵2 note celebrates religious heritage, featuring Cardinal Peter Dery, a prominent Ghanaian Catholic leader, and the historic Larabanga Mosque in northern Ghana. Education takes centre stage on the GH₵5 note, which features James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey, an influential educator and Pan-Africanist, alongside Achimota School. The GH₵10 note honours Annie Ruth Jiagge, Ghana’s first female judge, with imagery of the Supreme Court building representing justice and equality. Ghana’s cultural and artistic heritage is represented on the GH₵20 note, featuring composer and music scholar Ephraim Amu alongside the National Theatre. The GH₵50 note pays tribute to Theodosia Okoh, who designed Ghana’s national flag, while the GH₵100 note honours former United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, and features the peace-keeping training centre named after him. The highest denomination, the GH₵200 note, features Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah, and his mausoleum in Accra, reflecting the country’s independence and sovereignty. Traditional Adinkra symbols also appear across the series. Bank of Ghana governor, Johnson Asiama, said the redesigned currency includes improved security features, greater durability and modern designs intended to reduce counterfeiting. The notes have also been made more convenient to handle and carry. ...
