Is Twitter Being Mean To Former VP Osinbajo?

It is no longer news that both the Former President and Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo handed over to the new administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima. 

However, in what seems like selective justice, the popular microblogging platform, Twitter, on Monday removed the verification tag attached to the account of the former Vice President.

Osinbajo's Twitter Tag Removal

The special verification tag prior to its removal was designed for officials of government.

As of press time, it was observed that Osinbajo’s tag had been removed while, however, the account of the former president, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari(retd) remained untouched.

Twitter is yet to reply to resulting inquiries as to why the former vice president’s verification tag has been quickly removed.

Osinbajo and his principal, Buhari, handed over to the administration of Bola Tinubu yesterday, May 29, 2023.
