A former presidential aspirant Adamu Garba has stepped down as chief executive officer of Crowwe an instant messaging platform, Igbere TV reports.

Mr Garba has been aggressively pushing for new users on the platform since US President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter over inciteful statements and WhatsApp’s latest privacy policy.

In a statement posted to Twitter on Thursday, Garba said he was stepping down to allow one without political leaning to take charge of the daily operations of the company.

The statement reads:

“For the sake of sanity, I’ve decided to step down as the CEO of @.

“I will officially be handing over to the next CEO by the end of this quarter. The search for a new CEO is now open.

“We will publish the necessary steps required for applicants to forward their resumes.

“It is my desire that Crowwe should continue to be open, free, liberal and trusted platform by all.”

Garba said the original goal behind Crowwe was to build an open, free and stable African social media platform where Africans can fully participate in global technology revolutions.

He added: “

Crowwe’s operational model will be transparent and free of any political interference. It has to operate as a free and vibrant platform where everyone belongs.

“Therefore, it is important I let @ be managed by those without an iota of political leanings.”

His resignation follows growing calls by social media users for the platform to be boycotted.

Garba’s critics say his disapproval of the #EndSARS protests against police brutality is their basis for the platform to be boycotted.

They also claim Crowwe has controversial privacy policy, but Garba has denied the allegation.

Aboki marketed his app wrongly

Resign Not Step Down....


Cus even if you do.. you're still a BOARD MEMBER....

YOU THINK WE ARE FOOLS ABI....
OUR MUMU DON DO...

YOU NEVER SEE ANYTHING!!!

Kikikikikikikiki Okay o

You want your app to be liberal but you took Twitter to court for supporting Nigerians against police brutality and needless extra judicial killings.
People like you can not support full liberality.
That Growwe needs to be shutdown, let our suppressors whom you support be the only ones to use your app.

Was anybody ever thinking of downloading a Nigerian politicians app?.. can you really close your eyes to terms and conditions of a Nigerian politicians app while clicking "Accept"?...

No don't do this Adamu.

The only reason most of us use that app is because of you, now I'd have to uninstall it since you are no more its CEO.

How can I use an app run by people without an iota of political leanings when everything in life itself is politics.

Useless app by a useless Aboki. He should focus on his cattle rearing and suya selling. Education is not for them.

Step down or not, I no dey use the app

Okay

No wonder he was contesting in his idiocy for the presidency when he cant sustain an innovative act like managing an app.

He left his failed app to continue using twitter after all the grandstanding with Twitter CEO that he shamefully withdrew from.

why did he not pay to get good biz name and decent logo

Twitter street.

Good step in the right direction...

For the sake of sanity... lol

I lost my respect for this guy when he tribalised the ENDSARS protest.

Stepping down as the CEO to me won't change anything. He should sell the App to Seun, then we will listen to him.

He's just a disgrace and no one likes identifying with stupidity.

The type of cows we have in this country. Very backward thinking people who's sole aim is to marry underage and breed like pigs and rabbits.
Shame on the British for this contraption called Nigeria.
Jus.twise too, God will ban you for 100years same way you ban people in Travel section.

I don't see anything in this news that can benefit the common man therefore it is irrelevant. This I known

How many people dey this crowwe self

Crowwe would have been a good Innovation if it were brought by someone who isn't under a dull administration.

I had never heard of this app until now...

By the way I think having too many social media apps on your phone causes a big distraction

Wetin be crowwe, hearing it for d first time, Nairaland should take large sum of money from this guy for advert abeg.

This life funny o...
