| Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former President. |
Following his recent 13-page letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on the state of the Nigerian nation in which he gave him an advice not to seek a re-election, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,
Nigeria’s former President, has opened a twitter account, @Chief_Obasanjo.
On his first tweet on the platform,
Chief Obasanjo acknowledged the importance of the social media having evolved
to become a power tool for communication and engagement.
Hear him: "I’ve finally embraced
[the] social media since it expands the possibilities of engagement. Glad to
officially be on twitter and I hope to be here for a long time."
In conclusion, he advised those
who would be engaging him henceforth to do so, based on mutual respect. “Please
let’s respect ourselves,” he warned.
In his usual hilarious way
of treating some issues, he described himself in his profile as “Nigeria’s Foremost
Letter Writer, Farmer and Elder Statesman."
In a related development, another
former Nigerian leader, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida {retd.), widely known as IBB,
while responding to some negative comments that greeted Obasanjo's letter to President
Buhari, twitted thus on his @General_Ibbro twitter handle: “No serving General
in the Army today joined the military earlier than 1982. By then, Obasanjo had
already finished his military career. I respect him a lot, he is a true statesman.”
