Former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, has commended the Nigerian Government for suspending the activities of Twitter in Nigeria.
Garba described Twitter as an online machine for the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
He stated this while featuring on Channels Television’s Programme, Politics Today on Friday.
According to him, Twitter supports IPOB activities more than it does to the Nigerian government.
He said: “Twitter is behind them. I think Twitter is like a kind of IPOB online machine because what they do more is supporting IPOB much more than the government. Everyone knows that IPOB is anti-Nigeria, their target is to destroy Nigeria”.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, had announced the indefinite suspension of the operations of microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.
According to the statement, the minister cited “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence”.
