The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has shut down @PdpNigeria, its official and verified Twitter handle.
Chinwe Nnorom, the party’s head of publicity division, confirmed this in a statement, saying the public will soon be informed of a new Twitter account.
Nnorom said all tweets and communication from @PDPNigeria no longer represent the position of the party.
“The general public may wish to recall that the official twitter handle of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) @PDPNigeria was compromised sometime last year and a statement was issued to that regard to alert unsuspecting members of the public,” the statement read.
