Some Nigerians have taken to social media to slam the Federal government over the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria. THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION
had reported that the Federal Government on Friday announced the suspension of the microblogging and social networking service in the country.
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed made the announcement during a press conference.
Buhari’s tweet: Adamu Garba asks FG to block Twitter from Nigerian internet space
He cited the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence as reason for the suspension.
This is coming after Twitter had on Wednesday deleted a tweet by President Buhari for violating its rules.
Following the development, Nigerian took to their social media account to blast the Federal government for making such insensitive decisions.
While some mocked Lai Mohammed for using the same Twitter to announce the ban of Twitter in Nigeria, others said the Buhari-led administration is full of confused hypocrites.
Some also demanded that government officials deactivate their accounts first if they want the suspension to be taken seriously.
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST;
