Twitter’s blue tick removal tsunami has affected Peter Obi,
Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and others’ verification badges.
A check on the handles of the Labour Party, All Progressives
Congress, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate’s
Twitter handles late Thursday shows that the blue tick has disappeared.
Owner Elon Musk, who has seen his $44 billion investment in
the site shrivel, earlier pledged to get rid of what he described as a “lords
& peasants system.”
Earlier dates set for the rollback of the ticks —
predominately used by celebrities, journalists, and politicians — have slipped
by without noticeable action.
But on Thursday high-profile accounts, as well as those of
many reporters/journalists appeared to have had the checkmarks removed.
Politicians and official bodies also appeared to have been
hit, with US Senator Brian Schatz objecting to the possible effect on public
confidence in the event of disasters.
