List Of Nigerian Politicians Who Paid For Twitter Verification Badge

Microblogging platform, Twitter on Thursday removed the verification badges of some Nigerian politicians and others enjoying the free blue tick.

 

The mass removal of the blue tick which affected notable politicians in the country has also affected journalists, celebrities, Non-Governmental Organisations, and others.
