‘It has 12 digits not 11’ — slip containing Osinbajo’s ‘phone number’ sets Twitter agog

The Nigerian Twittersphere has been set abuzz by a photo of Yemi Osinbajo, the country’s vice-president, holding a slip containing digits under the label, ‘phone number’. 

On Tuesday, the vice president took to his Twitter page to share photos of himself during the membership revalidation exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC), held in Ogun state.

In one of the photos, Osinbajo can be seen holding up his membership slip, which has a 12-digit ‘phone number’ written on it.

The photo has since generated reactions from some Nigerians on Twitter, as they have taken to the microblogging platform to register different opinions, especially on the number of digits of the phone number.

“@ProfOsinbajo Sir, please try edit your phone number in the form, your dropped 12 digits number instead of 11digits. Thanks, kindly snap and repost when you do. Thanks Sir. Long Life Prof. Yemi Oluleke Osinbajo,” a Twitter user said.

Here is what some Nigerians had to say:

Prof mistakenly shows his phone number. No matter how stubborn you are, don’t ‘mistakenly’ call that line to vent or drop a disparaging text message. It’s a trap.
