I came across this post from one of my facebook friends and its kind of disturbing MTN telecom should not influence politics in Nigeria and i stand corrected. Is Mtn campaigning for Buhari?
read what he has to say and his conversation with MTN staffs
"I noticed this two hours ago after recharging my line and when I checked my credit balance. I immediately took a picture of the messages and called MTN about it. I accused the company of being a paid member of the APC and campaigning openly against the Government.
I spoke and threatened for over 40 minutes with a supervisor. She told me that they had flagged the message on their system and will be removing it. Telcos are not allowed to propagate political messages, and MTN has admitted that they were wrong. They are now investigating how the message made it past their checks.

They actually took it down within 5 mins after my call. NCC still has
to do its job, though. The way I put my complaints, it was too
threatening to ignore.
Please try and and see if the message still shows when you check your balance just in case they only deactivated it for my plan and my city.
If MTN tried this in Zimbabwe, they'd lose their licence by Monday morning and the MD/CEO would be on his way out of the country within that week. It could take high profile diplomacy between countries to get them back in operations there. Trust Robert Mugabe."
