Presidential aspirant, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku has on Friday said that every tweet on his official social media handles must get his approval before publication.
This coming after the former Vice president suffered multiple backlash for deleting a social media post condemning the gruesome killing of Deborah Samuel, a second year student of a Sokoto college of education, by Islamic extremists for alleged blasphemy.
Atiku said he had suffered worst consequences for criticizing certain issues.
“Every tweet has to get my expressed approval but this one didn’t so I asked them to take it down.
“I took a stand about Sharia law and was abused, thrown stones at, but how long did it last? Despite that I didn’t change my position on that. I am not afraid to take a stand on critical issues,” he said.

According to the presidential aspirant, investment in education is key.
“If you can recall what the PDP government did then while in power, we created the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND).
“We also set up the Primary School Education Fund and Education Tax Fund to enable us (PDP Federal Government) provide sufficient money to both state and local governments to enable them to have sufficient money to invest in primary and secondary education.
“We also passed the law to make education compulsory for every Nigerian child, from primary to secondary schools”, he said.
