SARAKI CONDEMNS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS TWITTER BAN HIT HUNDRED DAYS
Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has reiterated his opposition to the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria, lamenting that youths are the worst hit.
The action against the social media platform by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration clocked 100 days today. Information Minister, Lai Mohammed announced the ban, days after Buhari’s tweet was deleted for violation of rules.
Saraki, in a video, stated that the government must always look at how its decisions affect young people. “When we talk about the Twitter ban, we must look at it from the point of view of how it affects the livelihood of young Nigerians”, he said.
He also reminded the authorities that Twitter is like a marketplace where people go to sell their products, goods and engage in business. Now that it's been ban for the lengthy period, he couldn't help but comment on the government callousness on the social media issue.
Saraki is one of the check and balance of the Buhari government when he was the senate president, he wouldn't have allowed such ban if he was still occupying the senate position
