The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has supported the ban on Twitter by the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari. The APC also accused Twitter of supporting divisive views which threaten Nigeria’s sovereignty and national interest.

In a statement signed by the party’s interim national secretary, John Akpanudoedehe, the APC said:
“We are a democratic and independent nation, citizens should defend our sovereignty by supporting the federal government’s Twitter suspension. It is in our national interest.”

The APC further encouraged Nigerian youths to see the ban as an opportunity for a homegrown social media network.
“Russia has VKontakte (VK), China has Weibo, among several homegrown social media platforms. The APC believes that the country has the potentials and talents that can develop alternative and competitive applications to existing platforms in the world. Twitter’s suspension will undoubtedly serve as a positive trigger to unleash the creative potentials of Nigerians in the global digital space.
“This is a challenge to our vibrant youths with such talents. They will get support in the exercise from relevant federal government agencies as well as the numerous Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training and research establishments in the country” the statement read in part.

Politics Hub Nigeria recalls that after the ban on Twitter, many Nigerians have been using Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to access the microblogging site.
