Just 4 Days: Buhari’s Twitter Followers Already Over Half Of Jonathan’s Twitter by okiezman(m): 10:28am On Dec 27, 2014 |
The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers. Jonathan created his Twitter account exactly 1,634 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has 84,800 followers. The account appears to have stopped growing, as it has been in the region of 84,000 since he declared his run for a second term a few weeks ago. Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and had by the afternoon of December 26, Eastern Standard Time, amassed a following of 45,200. It is also of interest that in the past four years, President Jonathan has tweeted only 129 times, about two tweets per month. His last tweet appeared on November 11, 2014. In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55 times in his four days on Twitter, his last one appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014. Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, also got into Twitter two weeks ago, on December 10, and his followers are now up to 25,000. Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for a second term, has an even older Twitter account than President Jonathan’s, but although his account was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188 followers. When running for office in 2010, President Jonathan was very active on Facebook and Twitter, which he used to lure younger voters. After the election, when the same supporters, some of whom said they had voted to him but not the PDP, began to demand accountability and productivity, they were quietly ignored by President Jonathan. As their agitations mounted on social media, in August 2012 President openly denounced them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who in an article called them “army of sponsored and self-appointed anarchists,” competing among themselves to pull him down. Jonathan included in the demographic “all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting, self-appointed activists, the idle and idling, twittering, collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, the BBM-pinging soap opera gossips of Nigeria.” It is an assault the very vocal group does not seem to have forgotten. http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/26/just-4-days-buhari’s-twitter-followers-already-over-half-jonathan’s-twitter-account |

He got a twitter account only because he wants to rule. All these ancient men trying to rule this country without 21 century compliant brain will only take us back one century. The youths are not the leaders of tomorrow, our fathers are |

okiezman: following any of them on social media will not amount to vote. fayemi had more follower than fayose but fayose won the election. I follow both of them to get first hand information and nothing more. if am been counted as a follower for election purpose, they are on their own and I believe there are many more like me as followers. God bless Nigeria |

SW people think. Poverty can't leave SW if we don't embrace the following Resource control Fiscal federalism Privatization Political federalism Decentralization of Nigeria Restructuring of Nigeria Institutions submitting their quarterly activities to public scrutiny Which are the fastest route to economic diversification , citizenry prosperity and political stability.
