Yusuf Buhari being impersonated on Instagram, Presidency alerts

The Nigeria’s Presidency has alerted members of the public over what it described as impersonation of son of the President, Yusuf Buhari, on social media Instagram.

The Presidency made this alert in a statement Wednesday in Abuja by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Femi Adesina.

According to the statement,  “It has been observed that social media accounts are being run in the name of son of the President, Yusuf Buhari.

“The most recent is an Instagram account @ymbuhari, which has attracted thousands of followers, and which has been used to express opinions in Yusuf’s name without his knowledge.

“This is to inform the general public that Yusuf Muhammadu Buhari is not on any social media platform. The public is therefore, advised to disregard such handles and pages, while those perpetrating the illegality are advised to stop forthwith, as it amounts to impersonation.

“The same advice goes to those running other pages and handles impersonating other members of the family of the President.”
