ABSTRACT
The advent of the Internet has triggered the emergence of improved and user-friendly media tools known as social media. These media channels allow the effective sharing of audio-visual messages across the globe within seconds with the click of the button. As a result of their (Twitter) effectiveness in the provision of entertainment, information and education across societies, they are seen as being handy in facilitating the political education and mobilization of the people. Political Education is an essential element for the development and consolidation of democratic societies, and also an indispensable tool for the success of political parties. In political education, Twitter have the potentials of enhancing the sharing of information about political parties, their candidates, policies and programmes (manifestoes) including rallies and campaign activities. With political education via Twitter, this goes a long way in mobilizing people to participate in political activities such as attending political gatherings, voter registration and participating in elections. Thus, Twitter play significant roles in the provision of political education and mobilization of the people. Against this backdrop, it is recommended that governments and non-governmental organisations alike should ensure that they incorporate the use of Twitter with the mainstream media of information sharing for the provision of the needed education on politics and governance for further political mobilization of the people. Also, political parties, candidates and other political movements should not leave behind Twitter outlets while embarking on the political communication of their programmes, policies and manifestoes.
