The APC is the party to which President Muhammadu Buhari belongs.
Responding to the developments, APC party officials have distanced themselves from the account, claiming it was not theirs in the first place.
“For the umpteenth time, @APCNigeria is not the official Twitter handle of the All Progressives Congress (APC). In several official statements, we have disclaimed that handle. We view this latest development as a case of criminal impersonation,” the spokesman of the APC, Bolaji Abdullahi, said on his personal Twitter account.
The account manager, Phillip Obin, confirmed the hacking and added that effort to recover the account is ongoing.
