Nigerians on social media have commended Twitter for
deleting tweets by President Muhammadu Buhari, threatening the people of
Igbo-dominated South-East.
Nigerians had called for the
suspension of the Buhari’s account for saying ‘individuals or groups who wants
to destroy his government will receive the shock of their lives.
He had said they will be treated in a language they will not understand.
However, on Wednesday Twitter deleted the comment, saying it
violated its rules.
Reacting, Nigerians said Buhari’s threat should not be taken
for granted.
Here are some comments gathered on Twitter.
@renoomokri, ” I commend @Twitter for deleting @MBuhari’s tweet threatening Civil War 2 on Nigeria’s SE. It was a most irresponsible tweet and Nigerians are grateful to @Jack for taking that action. But please do not stop there. Delete his account. Buhari is a menace to the world.”
@AbdulKadiirrrr, ”Good. However, we must not take his
statement in those tweets for granted. Buhari is an anarchist.”
@drpenking, ”Our brave general who is surprisingly afraid of
comment section has to understand that this is not 1960 where you could dish
out threats and everyone would tremble and stomach it. This is 2021, one more
and you will be suspended.”
@chifez4u, ”Twitter deleted Buhari’s tweet, this is why you
can’t blame jack for choosing Ghana as Africa’s HQ over Nigeria,at the very
least they can operate freely without external pressures from the government.”
@dondekojo, ”See why Twitter couldn’t open their office
here? A combined team of EFCC, DSS, NDLEA, NCDC, FRSC, NPF for raid them.”
@IamTheBrightest, ”So Twitter deletes Buhari’s ‘war tweet’,
imagine if Twitter was in Nigeria, by now stern-looking soldiers
armed-to-the-teeth would have sealed off Twitter office building. Twitter was
not foolish for choosing Ghana.”
@WhiteAmadasun, ”Anything else than an outright ban on PMB’s
Twitter handle is unacceptable to right thinking and well-meaning Nigerians. He
deserves more than Donald Trump’s treatment please.”
@Ibnbazo, ”Deleting the tweet doesn’t matter as long as the
message has hit those it meant for harder.”
@Course_Adviser, ”You can delete a tweet but can you delete
someone’s ideology?What Buhari’s team posted is there Ideology. You can delete
the post but can’t stop him from. Working towards the goal. He has already
deployed the military to the east for the mission. There is internet and there
is reality.”
@AimThaMachine_, ”If Twitter had put up their HQ in Nigeria,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina and Rauf Aregbesola will storm
Twitter HQ in Abuja to either fine them or lock it down.”
