Atiku Abubakar Joins Instagram

Nigeria’s Former Vice-President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar today joined the Instagram Social Media Network.

Atiku could be quoted as making this promise some weeks ago in the wake of the New Year while sharing his Thoughts and Opinions on Nigeria, Politics, Elections and Social Media.

“Looking back it has been an interesting ride. I’ve met and interacted with a lot of interesting people, endured a lot of hostility, and generally learnt a great deal. I think it has helped that my children are active there (Social Media) as well; they have helped me – the sixty-something year old grandfather – better understand how it works, and how to behave myself. It would have been a lot tougher settling in without them.

And, who knows, maybe this year I will even venture out into newer territory. My children have been telling me about Instagram. I won’t promise them anything, of course, but I’ll keep an open mind. Which, I think, is the best way to approach a new year”.

In what could be described as a fulfillment of the above Atiku today made his first post via Instagram reassuring his commitment in job creation as an entrepreneur and businessman.

“Our farm land mill expansion in Yola will add 1,000 jobs to the community. We must keep asking; how many jobs are we creating for Nigeria”?

The Former VP has called on Nigerians especially the youths to freely engage him on meaningful conversations and debates via his Instagram account @aatiku.
