Obama posts final tweets as POTUS

As Donald Trump was set to be sworn in as the 45th President of the US, outgoing President Barack Obama used his last few hours on the POTUS Twitter account to post a few final tweets.

"It's been the honour of my life to serve you. You made me a better leader and a better man," Obama tweeted.

In another tweet, the 44th US President said: "I won't stop; I'll be right there with you as a citizen, inspired by your voices of truth and justice, good humor, and love."

"I'm still asking you to believe - not in my ability to bring about change, but in yours. I believe in change because I believe in you," tweeted the outgoing President.

"As we look forward, I want our first steps to reflect what matters most to you. Share your thoughts with me at http://Obama.org," his tweet read.

Earlier, Obama also shared his farewell letter on Facebook and expressed gratitude to the American people.

"Throughout these eight years, you have been the source of goodness, resilience, and hope from which I've pulled strength. I've seen neighbours and communities take care of each other during the worst economic crisis of our lifetime," Obama wrote on Thursday.
