Is Jonathan impersonating Buhari? Or why can't this be taken down?

A week after former President Goodluck Jonathan handed over power, he is yet quit his position on Twitter. His profile still reads, “Official Twitter account of Goodluck Jonathan, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

If doubt this is mischievous, check out read on. Aides of the immediate past president had argued that Jonathan was not on Twitter. But here is his Twitter page   has been long abandoned – @presgoodluck.

He last tweeted on May 2, 2011 to wish Nigerians happy Workers’ Day. That was shortly before he was sworn in in 2011.

What is left, however, is his seemingly abandoned Twitter page –@presgoodluck.

You still doubt it is his account? Never worry. This account is linked with his personal website – goodluck.org.ng – where he currently promotes the legacies of his office.

And, the website was linked with the verified Facebook page until a recent rebranding.

While the account is not functional as he has not tweeted in the past four years, dozens of Twitter join his followers daily. Earlier in the year, his followers were 27,000 plus. Today (this moment), the figure stands at 28.1k.

Immediately he handed over, Jonathan promptly updated his site and Facebook to reflect his new status.

His biography, on both the Facebook page and the website, does not make any reference to his previous offices.

Why is it so difficult for the media aides of the former President to take down the Twitter handle if Jonathan does not want it reinvented and rebranded like the other platforms?
