Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has urged the Federal Government to reverse the ban on Twitter in Nigeria as the popular microblogging and social media platform has become a source of livelihood for many, irrespective of their political affiliations or religious leanings. He also called the FG’s attention to how policies affect investor confidence.

Makinde disclosed this in a statement on Saturday morning, a few hours after the Twitter ban came into effect.

What Makinde said

“As leaders, we should go beyond emotional reactions to issues and think about how our actions will affect the people we lead and our international ratings, socially and economically.

Twitter has become the platform for young people and indeed all Nigerians to exercise their fundamental right to express and publish an opinion. They use the platform to complain, argue and give feedback to government and its agencies who in turn, use these to improve policies. This is a fundamental point that should be kept in mind as we debate the necessity of this suspension.”

“Nigerian youths and digital communications organisations earn a living from being able to use the platform to post communications on behalf of their clients,” he said.

In case you missed it

    And what is rubbish from Kanu? He speaks only but the truth. the Fulani have 7 terrorist organisation outfits in the north .Miaming and killing people , so you want us to keep silent because you are one of them or they are your brothers . But when you will be on the receiving end like us , you will see Kanu as a saint. A city where everyone is a bandit , where you can kidnap 150 students , while the state governor and the president are in the same state and no one care. You can not fool us any MORE. Kidnapping and paying randome by the govt is a clean way to siphone the public treasury for the benefit of the FULANI only . We got the message . so let us divide this NIGERIA . YOU STAY ON YOUR OWN , AND WE WILL NOT DISTURB YOU . WHAT IS HARD HERE!!!!
