Just 4 Days: Buhari’s Twitter Followers Already Over Half Of Jonathan’s Twitter Account Created 4 Years Ago. The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed
over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @ JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers.

The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @ JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers. Jonathan created his Twitter account exactly 1,634 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has 84,800 followers. The account appears to have stopped growing, as it has been in the region of 84,000 since he declared his run for a second term a few weeks ago. Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and had by the afternoon of December 26, Eastern
Standard Time, amassed a following of 45,200. It is also of interest that in the past four years, President Jonathan has tweeted only 129 times, about two tweets per month. His last tweet appeared on November 11, 2014.
In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55 times in his four days on Twitter, his last one appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014. Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, also got into Twitter two weeks ago, on December 10, and his followers are now up to 25,000. Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for a second term, has an even older Twitter account than President Jonathan’s, but although his account was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188 followers. When running for office in 2010, President Jonathan was very active on Facebook and Twitter, which he used to lure younger voters. After the election, when the same supporters, some of whom said they had voted to him but not the PDP, began to demand accountability and
productivity, they were quietly ignored by President Jonathan. As their agitations mounted on social media, in August 2012 President openly denounced them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who in an article called them “army of sponsored and self-
appointed anarchists,” competing among themselves to pull him down. Jonathan included in the demographic “all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting,
self-appointed activists, the idle and idling,twittering, collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, the BBM- pinging soap opera gossips ofNigeria.

” It is an assault the very vocal group does not seem to have forgotten.

A presidential source has disclosed that President Goodluck Jonathan is not on twitter contrary to an earlier report by an online news site that claimed that the president operates the @JGoodlucktweets account.
But upon investigation, it was revealed that the Twitter profile in question @JGoodlucktweets though pro-Jonathan, is not the twitter profile of the President neither is it listed on any of the President’s official platforms.
“The president is not on twitter, he does not operate any account like that. His facebook account is verified where he engage Nigerians and the world. In fact, one of his aides granted an interview to a national daily in 2013 explaining why the President is not on Twitter,” the source said.
President Jonathan is verified on Facebook where he has a following of almost 2 million followers. He has the second largest following of any President after US President, Barrack Obama and he regularly engages with Nigerians through that medium.
The @JGoodlucktweets was last updated on November 11 while the verified facebook account boast of the president’s Christmas message on December 25.

When the going was good, there was no denial. But in the face of utmost failure, the account suddenly belongs to a ghost.

Majority of nigerians also deserve better life, but the way things are being run in this country by PDP is a clog in the wheel of individual progress. The change must come, come 2015.

You think he is called "The Peoples' General" for nothing?

Remove presidential power from GEJ and I bet you he won't be able to pull 1 percent of the crowd a normal citizen like Buhari pulls. Those millions of people can't be wrong.. There is something special about GMB! Who God has blessed, no man can curse.

My life is refined in contentment already. But the hope of seeing nigerians being rescued from PDP detention come 2015, is enough to cherish for the moment.

Well, you have a point there, twitter can't win election. Three of my neighbour's children are under eighteen and are followers of GMB on twitter. All the 45,000 followers won't vote, some of them are yet to get their PVC.
All these social media ish, I don't believe in them.

When the twitter palmwine was still fresh in 2011, Jonathan owns the social media. Now that the table has turned, you all begin to throw excuses. Jonathan defeat in 2015 will make Moammar Ghaddafi feel lucky wherever he is.
Change I believe.
