‘Strange’ activities force PDP to shutdown its Twitter account...

    Leading opposition party, PDP, Tuesday night, announced the shutting down of its official and verified Twitter handle, @PDPNigeria.

The former ruling party cited ‘strange’ activities on the handle as reasons for the closure.

Head of PDP Publicity Division, Chinwe Nnorom, who made the announcement in a statement via the PDP’s Facebook page said the general public would be informed of a new twitter account soon.

    According to Nnorom, “The general public may wish to recall that the official twitter handle of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, @PDPNigeria was compromised sometime last year and a statement was issued to that regard to alert unsuspecting members of the public.

“However, in view of the recent activities on the handle, I have been directed again to emphasize the shutdown of this twitter account.

    “All tweets and any communication from the handle @PDPNigeria does not represent the views of the Party forthwith. We will inform the general public of a new twitter account soon. Thanks for your understanding.”
