Adamu Garba, former presidential aspirant of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has said the Federal Government should shut down
Twitter from Nigeria’s internet space.
Garba said Twitter has no right to take down President
Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet.
In a tweet, the former presidential aspirant said the
micro-blogging site should be expunged from Nigeria.
He wrote: “Twitter has no right to infuse into our local
political affairs. It’s a company not a government.
“By removing our democratically elected President’s speech
to the people of Nigeria, Twitter needs to be shut down from Nigerian internet
space.
“Twitter needs to get out of Nigeria.”
Recall that Nigerians had called for the suspension of
Buhari’s Twitter account for saying ‘individuals or groups who want to destroy
his government will receive the shock of their lives.”
Speaking on the destruction of national assets, the
President had said they will be treated in a language they will understand.
Following the development, on Wednesday, Twitter deleted the
comment, saying it violated its rules.
