The National Leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has commenced his 2023 presidential campaign on Twitter.
It has been reported that the former governor of Lagos launched his campaign hashtag #BAT2023 on the microblogging platform on Thursday (today) while commending the Federal Government for lifting the ban on the bird app seven months after it was prohibited in the country.
According to Tinubu, Twitter just like every other social media is useful to citizens as they are a means of communication and an avenue that enables economic and social empowerment for Nigerians.
Tinubu tweeted: “Social media – indeed all media – including Twitter, are a means for us to all communicate, report, share and engage with stories and each other; to enable economic and social empowerment for Nigerians. But sometimes & sometimes are misused.
I commend the FG for recognizing these aspects and most importantly, concluding negotiations for the safe return of access to Twitter to the millions of Nigerians who use it, daily. Welcome back one and all!
