Twitter, the microblogging platform, has taken off the verification tag from the account of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Nigeria's former Vice President.

It, however, left the verification tag of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

The special verification tag prior to its removal was designed for officials of government.

As at now, Osinbajo has 4.2million followers on Twitter and has tweeted 3,943 tweets.

On the other hand, Buhari who has 4.6million and has tweeted 5,872 tweets still has his verification tag.
