The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has warned
Nigerians against the continued resort to using the Virtual
Private Network VPN to access the banned microblogging
platform, Twitter, saying many private investments have
already gone down the drain as a result of using VPN.
The party gave the warning in a statement issued Tuesday in
Abuja by the National Secretary of its Caretaker Extraordinary
Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James
Akpanudoedehe.
APC alerted Nigerians “of the many risks involved in accessing
contents, especially social media using the Virtual Private
Network (VPN) which is vulnerable to the heinous activities of
criminal hackers who can steal data and money in bank
accounts”.
The party also warned legitimate private and public entities
operating in the country to avoid the many dangers of
exposing themselves to cybercrimes through the use of VPN
which it said is not adequately secured.

Part of statement reads; “This advisory is necessary because
despite the massive compliance by Nigerians to the federal
government’s suspension of Twitter operations in the country,
some individuals in the country have resorted to VPN to
access Twitter whose unwholesome activities were detrimental
to peace and public order in the country.
“Those using the VPN are advised to desist in their own
interests because of its risks, which include data theft, illegal
access to strategic company documents and possible
economic espionage.
“The APC emphasises that VPN users expose their devices to
vulnerabilities because the network allows third party- access
to personal data and changes user location to another country
which compromises data integrity. Your record can be traced
to another country that is not yours, with all the risks that
entails.
“Many individuals and organisations using VPN have lost their
investments after compromising the security of their devices.
The APC strongly advises that Nigerians should avoid
installing or using VPN to access social networking sites in
order to protect their privacy and security online. This is in our
individual and collective interest”.

So in other words, the APC as a party is in support of the ban on Twitter abi?

We count it for them.

Let me see how APC candidate will campaign in 2023.

Group of Fools

Very useless political party.
No reasonable person among them.
Like president like vice, like senate president and like speaker as well as party leaders.

What's APCs position on Igangan, Kebbi and Zamfara massacre

There are some people who use twitter for Airdrops/cripto currency to put food on their table, will they fold their arms and starve to death ?
