Announcing the closure of the social media account on Facebook, the head of PDP Publicity Division, Chinwe Nnorom, added that the General public will be notified of the new Twitter account for the political party soon.
The statement reads: “The general public may wish to recall that the official twitter handle of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, @PDPNigeria was compromised sometime last year and a statement was issued to that regard to alert unsuspecting members of the public.
“However, in view of the recent activities on the handle, I have been directed again to emphasize the shutdown of this twitter account.
“All tweets and any communication from the handle @PDPNigeria does not represent the views of the Party forthwith. We will inform the general public of a new twitter account soon. Thanks for your understanding.”
