– The presidency plans to create a YouTube channel
President Muhammadu Buhari may deactivate some of his social media platforms. The president’s media aide on a new media Tolu Ogunlesi said an audit had started with a view to close down the redundant ones.
Ogunlesi told the Punch: “We are currently doing an audit on all the Presidency’s social media platforms so that we can streamline the messaging. Redundant platforms will be deactivated.” He also disclosed a plan to create a YouTube channel.
President Buhari has two accounts on Twitter, one on Facebook and another on Instagram. The presidency, as an institution, possesses an account on Twitter in addition to the newly-created Facebook page. Some of the accounts were created up during the 2015 general poll. They were created as part of presidential campaign of Buhari.
Below is the list of redundant social media accounts of the president:
@AsoRock, – May 31, 2015
@MBuhari– September 6, 2015
@ThisIsBuhari on Instagram suspended before Buhari marked 100 days in office.
Buhari is currently ahead of his colleagues, at least, in Africa in terms of number of digital media pages.
