The Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, earlier today joined Twitter, the fast growing elite platform of communication and engagement in Nigeria and has since caused quite a stir online.

Twitter, a micro blogging online social networking site that allows users to send and read short messages of 140-character messages called "tweets".

In his first official Tweets, GMB @ThisIsBuhari, thanked his friends who have help amplified his campaign through their various handles and noted that this is a start of a conversation to #change the country.

"Good afternoon my friends! This will now be my official Twitter handle to communicate with you. 

"I thank everyone who has helped amplify our message and campaign through various handles," GMB tweeted.

In less than 8 hours the presumed aged presidential aspirant joined twitter, he has been able to gather over 15,400 followers while following only 4 people; @GMBVolunteers @ChibuikeAmaechi @ProfOsinbajo and @APCNigeria.

Another interesting moment was when former fellow ticket contender and former Vice president; Atiku Abubakar welcomed him aboard.

GMB has so far tweeted just 6 tweets.
