Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has defied Federal
government’s ban on Twitter operation in the country by tweeting via his
official handle.
Recall that FG had on Friday last week suspended
the operation of the microblogging platform for allegedly allowing contents
capable of threatening the corporate existence of Nigerians.
Despite the ban, some users have continued to access the social
medium via the use of Virtual Private Network, VPN.
Governor Ortom who tweeted on Tuesday evening, said the
decision by the FG to ban the platform was illegal.
The tweet reads, “The ban on Twitter is not only illegal but
it is also an ill-advised move to divert the attention of Nigerians from the
FG’s failure to tackle insecurity in parts of the country.
“It amounts to suppression of fundamental human rights and
gagging of social media”.
