Nigerian billionaire and United Bank for Africa (UBA) PLC founder, Tony Elumelu, is one out of many world leaders who have lost their legacy blue checkmark.
After Elumelu hilariously expressed shock at the disappearance of his blue badge on the platform, Nigerians especially customers of his bank reacted.
Expressing his shock at the removal, Elumelu twitted: “Woke up to see that my verification tick has disappeared. Wahala!”
Woke up to see that my verification tick has disappeared.

Top politicians in Nigeria that have lost their recognition on Twitter include the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, who currently has 1.8 million followers on the platform. Also, the first runner-up in the 2023 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, with his 4.9 million followers has had his account stripped of verification.
