This came in the wake of many verified personalities losing their verified Blue ticks after Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, seeks to enforce subscription for the service.
Peter Obi was amongst the many celebrities and eminent personalities who also lost their verified badge; this prompted Ike Ihiala to offer payment on his behalf.
Ihiala tweeted;
Since @elonmusk is personally paying for the @TwitterBlue Verification Badge of at least three celebrities, I’ll pay for the restoration/monthly subscription of the Verification Badge of the People’s President, H.E. @PeterObi.
