Ismaeel Ahmed, one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s aides has
expressed dismay over his inability to use Twitter, following the ban of the
platform.
Ahmed who is Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on National
Social Investment Program said he’s not happy that he cannot tweet.
He disclosed this to journalists at the national Secretariat
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja.
The presidential aide, however, justified the suspension of
the micro-blogging site.
Ahmed said Twitter should act responsibly if it wants to
operate in Nigeria.
He said: “If you ask me whether I am happy that there is no
Twitter today that I cannot tweet, I will say, of course not.
“I am not happy that I am not tweeting and I hope there will
be an amicable resolution and I hope Twitter will be responsible going
forward.”
The Nigerian government had last week suspended the
operations of Twitter in the country.
Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture had
disclosed this during a press conference in Abuja.
Mohammed had said the suspension became necessary because
Nigerians were using the site for activities that are against Nigeria’s unity
and existence.
