Recall, In a bid to shed light on his ongoing court case at the Presidential Election Court, where he is challenging the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Parallel Facts invited Mr Peter Obi to take part in the interactive session on Twitter spaces, which served as an opportunity to directly address questions raised by the audience, his supporters, and other well-meaning Nigerians, ranging from legal matters to his future plans for Nigeria.
As one of the most-followed legal disputes in Nigerian politics, the court case challenging the election results has been a subject of immense public interest. Parallel Facts ensured that the voices of citizens and supporters of Peter Obi were heard by creating an inclusive space for dialogue and robust interaction between Peter Obi and his supporters.
According to Noobspace, ” The world record for the most significant Twitter space was previously held by Pakistan’s former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, and before him, K-POP, the Korean music band, held the top spot. However, Robin Wheeler has now set a new world record on Twitter spaces, thanks to Elon Musk. Robin hosted a Twitter space for a Q&A session following Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter takeover. This extraordinary space event featured Elon Musk as a speaker, who’s also currently the most followed person on Twitter, overtaking Obama as the most followed person.
“What could be a better way to share your thoughts than through Twitter Spaces, especially after its acquisition by Elon Musk? It is imperative to note that Twitter policies are now increasingly undergoing rapid changes after Elon’s takeover, and there is a need for further clarity on new features like Twitter Blue as well as the future of advertising on the platform.
