Nigeria’s president-elect and his wife have changed their Twitter addresses. President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari is switching his Twitter account from @ThisIsBuhari to @MBuhari while his wife, Mrs Aisha Buhari will now tweet from the @ABuhari.
The accounts @ThisIsBuhari and @IAmAishaBuhari will no longer be connected to either party, although they are both functional as at the time of filing this report.
For the latest news and updates on both as they transition into being the First Couple, the @MBuhari and @ABuhari accounts will be a key channel of communication as the president-elect works to fulfill his promises to the nation, a statement issued by State Craft Inc said.
Muhammadu Buhari joined Twitter on December 22, 2014, soon after winning the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, gaining a following of several thousand within hours. His wife, Aisha Buhari, joined in March 2015, and also has a substantial following.
