Social Media Is A Huge Value To Nigeria, Osinbajo Speaks As His Twitter Account Gets Verified

After two months on Twitter, the account of the Vice Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) has been verified. The confirmation of this process for the account, @ProfOsinabjo, came through at exactly 4pm on Friday afternoon.

Speaking about his experience so far on social media, the Running Mate to General Muhammadu Buhari, admitted that he had followed online conversations passively for a long time but had to get fully involved when he was picked to join the APC Presidential Ticket.

“I consider myself a Digital Immigrant, while all those born in the Computer Age are the Natives,” he said.

“It took a while to get used to it, but I have always known social media to be a very useful tool for engagement, enlightenment and entertainment. Its huge value to Nigeria and the nation we hope to build cannot be overestimated and I’m grateful for how I have been so well received. It has been extremely interesting.”
