Billionaire businessman, founder and former chairman of Stanbic IBTC, Atedo Peterside, has faulted the federal government’s recent ban of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria, stating that the FG was too hasty in making decisions that hurt Nigerians and slow with policies that uplift citizens.

Mr Peterside disclosed this in a statement on Saturday morning, some hours after the ban was implemented.

What Atedo Peterside said on the Twitter Ban

“On Twitter ban, an emerging narrative is that FGN is phenomenally quick on negative/wrong actions that will hurt many Nigerians, whilst being slow on positive/correct actions that might uplift many Nigerians. Re 2023, we know the kind of Presidency that we do not want,” Peterside said.

    Most Nigerian elites dont love Nigeria, maybe because their investments are not here. Why cant they ask twitter the reason they’ve not stoped Nnamdi Kanu and other terrorist leaders posting war threats on their platform, but deleted the Presidents tweet reacting to the killings and destructions of properties in the region. Its a clear indication that those against the twitter ban are insensitive to what is happening here or they are the ones sponsoring this terrorism. Twitter and facebook should be regulated as they are the platforms used to destabize the country.

    Whatever Cownu said is not a reason for the Presidency to behave irrationally. Cownu is only one person. The presidency is for the Nigerian people ,. Why should you make inflamatory statements to the people you are serving ??? if you dont want their rugged criticism , you make a provisio for referendum and you know they will opt out . then you and I will eat sand in this Nigeria , because no more Oil. So be realistic and stop behaving like a zoo animal and lead us to change that you promised . Do not be a fool to think that we will not hold your children accountable for your loot when the time comes. ask Myriam Abacha .
