With the rollout, Twitter has replaced the blue tick mark of President Muhammad Buhari with a grey tick. The President’s Twitter account currently has 4.3 million followers.

Twitter on December 12 announced that it will be “replacing the “official” label with a gold checkmark on some business accounts on Twitter. It had said that it would add a grey checkmark for government and multilateral accounts.

Twitter has also started charging $8 per month on the Web and $11 per month for those who sign up on iOS for Twitter Blue which it plans to gradually roll out across the globe.

“Existing Twitter Blue subscribers will be able to upgrade, cancel, or auto-renew their subscription at the new price. Prices may vary by region. We plan to offer subscriptions on Android soon,” the company had said.

The Twitter Blue service is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

On Wednesday, Musk said he would resign as the social media company’s chief executive as soon as he finds “someone foolish enough to take the job,” two days after users voted for him to quit in a poll he ran on Twitter.

The world’s richest man promised earlier to abide by the result of a Twitter poll which saw 57.5 percent of users vote “yes” to him quitting the role.
