The account is verified, and has over 25 thousand followers at the time of writing. The account follows Buhari’s personal account, his wife Aisha Buhari’s account, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, amongst others.
It is not clear if the account will be transferred to future Nigeria presidents after the President has exhausted his tenure.
