“Yesterday, there were failed external attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Vice President’s Twitter Account. Since, we have been in contact with Twitter, securing the account, and forestalling a reoccurrence. The VP will continue to actively communicate with our citizens,” Mr Akande had said on Saturday.

As at Monday, the account verification badge has been restored though not working perfectly yet.

The Vice President had on Sunday wished Muslims a happy Eid-el-Mubarak.
