"Reverse Twitter Ban Immediately" - US Warns Nigerian Government by kirajustice: 9:37am On Jun 09, 2021 |
POLITICSNIGERIA.COM The United States government has warned the Nigerian Government to immediately reverse its ban on Twitter adding that it was tantamount to opposing free speech. Samantha Power, an administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, made this known in a statement on Wednesday. She revealed that Twitter has over 40 million users in Nigeria adding that the directive must be reversed immediately. "There are nearly 40 M Twitter users in #Nigeria, and the country is home to Africa's largest tech hub." "This suspension is nothing more than state-sanctioned denial of free speech and should be reversed immediately." The US mission in Nigeria has also issued an earlier statement via its Facebook page pointing out that the ban was a encroachment to the Peoples right to Freedom. "Nigeria’s constitution provides for freedom of expression. The Government’s recent #Twitterban undermines Nigerians’ ability to exercise this fundamental freedom and sends a poor message to its citizens, investors and businesses." "Banning social media and curbing every citizen’s ability to seek, receive, and impart information undermines fundamental freedoms. As President Biden has stated, our need for individual expression, open public conversation, and accountability has never been greater. The path to a more secure Nigeria lies in more, not less communication, alongside concerted efforts toward unity, peace, and prosperity." https://politicsnigeria.com/breaking-reverse-twitter-ban-immediately-us-issues-warning-to-nigeria/ 2 Likes 1 Share

This is more important than d ranting by Trump. A sitting American President is always d most powerful game changer. U see how God works, by Trump congratulating Buhari over his ban of Twitter, d Opposition Democrats have opposed Trump and by extension come in support of free speech which by extrapolation too favours Nnamdi Kanu agitation. A 100 past American Presidents put together is not up to d command of the sitting American President 7 Likes |

This thing called politics eh! I knew the moment Trump drummed support for Buhari's twitter ban,I knew U.S government would respond. Meanwhile APC online miscreants rejoicing about Trump's support for their Bubu's twitter ban,hope you guys would rejoice more and support Trump as he continues his unending bashing and antagonizing on Buhari's chief borrower,China. Ofcourse we know how frosty the relationship of China and Trump is & also the how China is in bed with Biden. It's a season of political confusion... 1 Like |

I believe the statement from Trump led to this.. The Biden government will likely want to counter Trumps Statement while proving a point. |

SavagesWillLose:That's not even the reason.
