Mallam Nasir El-Rufai
Nigeria has gone past the days you will think no one care about the various social media that exist.
Before now, many believe that the various social media platforms are for young, lazy and unfocused youths but recently, this has been proven to be wrong. Politicians are now on some of the social platforms you will think they might not have time for.
Like the saying goes, ‘ money is the soul of business’, but these days, being on the right social platform is the soul of being loved as a political figure. Being there to make ‘great’ comments on ongoing issues in the country will no doubts endear so many people to a politician, even when there are lots of things many Nigerians might have against the particular politician.
Not to beat about the bush, here are some politicians naij.com has compiled that you need to start following for some steaming political gist, arguments and views!
1. Nasir El-Rufai
Known for his opposition of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Mallam Nasir El Rufai always has something to say about any ongoing crisis in the country. It would be remarkable to let you that he posted a video of President Goodluck Jonathan dancing with a woman while the country was in chaos over the missing Chibok girls. The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja from 16 July 2003 to 29 May 2007 is a member of All Progressives Congress (APC). You can follow him on Twitter:@elrufai
2. Reuben Abati
Its no news that the Abeokuta-born Reuben Abati is the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria. The presidential spokesman is very active on both Twitter and Facebook. He dishes out various information you need to know about the presidency. Although he has dished out a few incorrect information, especially during the heat of the Chibok girls kidnap, the chairman of the editorial board of the Nigerian newspaper, The Guardian can be banked upon for some chilling news from the presidency. You can follow him on Twitter:@abati1990
3. Doyin Okupe
Doyin Okupe
Just like Reuben Abati, Doyin Okupe is one of the image makers for the presidency. He is the Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria.

4. Obiageli Ezekwesili
Oby Ezekwesili
Oby, who is a former federal Minister of Solid Minerals and then Education during the second term presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo, is a force to reckon with on Twitter. She is what can be called the political mother and fighter of the Chibok girls. She spits out venom like a man in anger when issues about the kidnapped Chibok girls are left unattended to. Oby Ezekwisili describes herself on her twitter page as a ‘fiercely passionate believer in the public good of nations, serving before leading. Validated by God& my Dad who taught me to never dignify nonsense.’ You surely need to follow this politician! @obyezeks
