Federal Government Can Handle This A Lot Better -sanwo-olu Speaks On Twitter Ban by Insidenaija(op): 1:48pm On Jun 07, 2021
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state has faulted the ban on use of Twitter in the country, which he said the federal government could have handled better, Newspremises reports.

In a chat with Arise TV on Monday June 7, the Lagos state Governor said FG should have considered the economic impact of the ban.

Sanwo-Olu said;

“Federal government can handle this a lot better. Because of the number of eCommerce, the number of youths doing digital stuff on the internet, and we cannot throw that away and say it’s not happening. I believe there could be a lot of restraint and better management from both sides.

“On both sides, there are issues that can be resolved between Twitter and the government and I think what they’ve done is not a ban but a suspension like they said, so in the period of suspension let us sit down.

“If we have 40 million users of that micro-blogger and another country has five million and they chose to take their investment to a country that have five million compared to a country with 40 million. It speaks to the reason we need to have that conversation with them. Probably if they have an office here things would have been done a lot quicker and better.”

Sanwo-Olu, our teeming youths can do their businesses on Facebook and Instagram.

Twitter is not infallible. They need to be tamed.

The ban remains.

Fucck Twitter!

Every Public office Holder is affected on this one
Even those without any office portfolio are affected. Buhari tagged the whole nation to his beef with Twitter.
