PDP restores official Twitter account

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has restored its official Twitter handle, less than 48 hours after the initial shut down.

The party said it decided to restore the account because Nigerians are already familiar with the old handle.

“Following the release of yesterday on the above subject, we have received reactions from some of our teeming members and supporters who are already familiar with the platform,” the PDP said in a statement signed by Chinwe Nnorom, its head of publicity division.

“In view of the above, we have taken steps today to address the issues surrounding the Twitter handle.

“Consequently, in view of the national working committee (NWC)’s decision this afternoon, the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh re-directed me to open the official twitter handle, @PDPNigeria.

“The handle @PDPNigeria which is the official platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is hereby re-opened, please.

“We regret any inconveniences the temporary shutdown may have caused our members, supporters and the general public.”
