Nigeria’s President-elect and First Lady have changed their Twitter addresses. President-elect Muhammadu Buhari’s new Twitter account is @MBuhari, and the First Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari will now tweet from @ABuhari.

The accounts @ThisIsBuhari and @IAmAishaBuhari will no longer be connected to either party.

For the latest news and updates on both as they transition into being the First Family, the @MBuhari and @ABuhari accounts will be a key channel of communication as the President-elect works to fulfil his promises to the nation, said a statement by Alexander Yangs for Statecraft Press.

Muhammadu Buhari joined Twitter on December 22, 2014, soon after winning the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress, gaining a following of several thousand within hours.

His wife, Aisha Buhari, joined in March 2015, and also has a substantial following.
