Abuja: The Office of former President Goodluck Jonathan has disowned a trending Instagram account operating under the handle goodluck_ebelejonathan, declaring it as fake and an impersonation. A statement on Friday by the media aide to Jonathan, Mr Ikechukwu Eze, said that the former President did not maintain or operate any personal account on the Instagram platform.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, Eze noted that the deceptive account frequently alternates its identity, masking itself as a fan page while predominantly impersonating the former president to mislead unsuspecting members of the public. Eze urged the public to be aware that the account sometimes presents itself as a fan page, but most often impersonates the former president.
He highlighted that the username has been changed 13 times and counting, expressing hope that Meta would take appropriate action in due time.
