The presidency has released a new twitter handle for
Zahra Buhari, daughter of President Buhari following a
controversial tweet from her former handle,
@Zahra_Buhari. Some days ago, Zahra's former twitter
handle called out Gambian President, President Yahya
Jammeh over his remarks against gay people (screen munch of the tweet above). The Presidency this
evening released a statement saying that her account
was hacked and that she had abandoned the said
account a long time ago. The statement after the cut.. The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to
unauthorized and unexpected Tweets by an account
falsely linked to Zahra Buhari, one of the daughters of
President Muhammadu Buhari.
Following enquiries by a few foreign missions on the
raging online controversy about unsavory comments against some foreign leaders purportedly made by her,
we wish to state categorically that Zahra is indeed on
Twitter but the offending handle @Zahra_Buhari has
stopped being her own for a long time since it was
compromised by hackers. Tweets by this handle are therefore not her own and
should be disregarded and considered as the work of
hackers seeking to cause mischief between this country
and other friendly states.
Zahra’s authentic handle is @ZmBuhari and any
handle other than this on Twitter should be considered as fake and therefore fraudulent. It also pertinent to state at this point that neither the
wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari nor the other
children are presently on Twitter, Facebook or the
various other platforms. As they the explore the possibilities on this new
territory, we request the general public to ignore the
many accounts on various platforms in their names
that currently exist. Such accounts, beside the
authentic one cited above in the name of Zahra are
unauthorized and therefore fake.Presidency releases new twitter handle for zahra Buhari after controversial tweet from her former handle
