This agitation was trended via the hashtag #EndAPCNow, which already had over 16,000 engagements on X at the time of filing this report.

The Nigerian netizens on X (formerly Twitter) have started calling for the total rejection of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the country’s political space.

This agitation was trended via the hashtag #EndAPCNow, which already had over 16,000 engagements on X at the time of filing this report.

The netizens criticised the current government of APC for the persistent hardship the citizens have been facing due to the economic policies implemented by President Bola Tinubu.

According to them, the APC has displayed lack of competence in solving the country’s socio-economic challenges.

An X user, Chinaza said, “IF NIGERIANS DON'T END APC, APC WILL END NIGERIANS.”

“Is not about tribe, religion, culture or whatever now, it's about the betterment of our NIGERIA. Don't be brainwashed, APC is an enemy of progress, and enemy of progress is our enemy.  Therefore #ENDAPCNOW,” Chinaza added.

Another X user, KardinalZ (@Mr_Xiety) wrote: “If Nigerians don't kill APC, APC will kill Nigerians #EndAPCNow.”

Lord Salazar wrote: “Nigerians can't afford to make common stew BCOS tomatoes are no longer  affordable. Everyone is hungry, people are hopeless and living in squalor while these APC gluttons are wasting funds on frivolous things. #ENDAPCNOW #tinubuhasfailed.”

Emir Sirdam said, “In my opinion, any PROTEST that is not #EndAPCNow is a waste of time.

“Nigerians get balls for once and face your MONSTERS!  We are now comfortable with a dollar exchanging at 1500 Naira. If we don’t End APC, APC Will end us!”

Dozie Ohaeri wrote: “People dying from hunger, terrorism, bad roads, no healthcare. Kenyans are out only for a fraction of what Nigerians suffer. They've shed their blood but yet remain consistent. Guess what's more important, my festival is bigger than your hangout #OperationRescueNigeria #EndAPCNow.”

Darey wrote: “Nigerians are dying daily of hunger, Aso Rock cars got new tyres for 244Million Naira. #EndAPCNow.”

Chuks_Collins wrote: “X knows how many times I have made this exact comment, we all know deep down that Apc and Tinubu can't be unseated via Elections, the thing is Nigerians are not ready, when we're ready we know what to do. Kenyans have shown us the blueprint. #EndAPCNow.”

Meanwhile, Nigeria has witnessed several public demonstrations and agitations against the administration of President Tinubu but none has been as impactful as the recent protests against the proposed Finance Bill in Kenya.

For instance, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in February declared a two-day nationwide mass protest slated for February 27 and 28 over the hardship in the country.

In the same month, SaharaReporters also reported how another protest broke out in Suleja, the commercial nerve centre of Niger State, which is a few kilometres away from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

“There is protest ongoing at the Suleja local government area of Niger State. They are calling on Tinubu to end the hardship the masses are suffering on the daily basis in the country,” a source told SaharaReporters.
