Like El-Rufai, Peter Obi joins TikTok, gives reason

Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has officially launched a TikTok page to enhance his digital engagement with Nigerians, particularly the youth.

Obi made the announcement on Tuesday via his X (formerly Twitter) handle, sharing a link to his TikTok page and encouraging supporters to connect with him on the platform.

TikTok, known for its short video content, is one of the most popular social media platforms globally.

At the time of filing this report, the former Anambra State governor had already gained over 8,000 followers and 4,000 likes on his page @mr.peter.obi.

Obi uploaded a video announcing that it was his only official TikTok account, urging his followers to join him on his quest to build Nigeria.

He said, “This is my official and only TikTok page. Kindly join me towards building a new Nigeria that is possible.”

The former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, also opened his TikTok page four days ago to share his views on Nigerian politics and his new party, the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

“This is my only and official TikTok page,” he stated. “Please join me for videos, comments and conversations on Nigerian politics, as well as the activities of our new party, Social Democratic Party (SDP). Welcome on board,” he added.
