“I think there is a tepid approach by twitter.
“I say tepid because on Wednesday, I got a call from one of the foreign missions that twitter is ready to have serious discussion with high level members of government on this issue.
“But since then, mum has been the word and that is why I said tepid.
“As of today, I do not see twitter as being sincere in its approach to resolve the issue,’’ he said.
You will recall that the Federal Government through the Minister of information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohamed suspended indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter in Nigeria due to the persistent use of the platform for activities capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.
Alhaji Lai Mohamed reiterated the action taken by the Government was neither because twitter deleted President Muhammadu Buhari’s message nor it chose Ghana above Nigeria as a preferred location for its regional headquarters.
“Whether they are in Ghana or in Nigeria or anywhere else, if they allow their platform to be used to destabilise Nigeria, we will do the same.
“Of what importance will the investment be to us if they destroy our Country?’’ he said.
