SENATE PRESIDENT AHMED LAWAN BREAKS SILENCE ON TWITTER BAN, SAYS ‘NIGERIA NEEDS IT’

Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has broken his silence on the suspension of Twitter by the Federal Government, emphasizing the need for the social media app by Nigerians.


This comes after the House of Representatives at its sitting on Tuesday, summoned Nigeria's Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, over the suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.


He disclosed this to newsmen on Friday June 11 at the National Assembly.


Lawan said the senate is optimistic that the federal government and Twitter will eventually resolve their differences.


“The honorable minister of information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, informed Nigerians that they are talking with Twitter to resolve this matter. Our belief is that Nigeria needs Twitter just as much as Twitter needs Nigeria.


“We believe that the matter between Twitter and the federal government of Nigeria will be resolved.


“But beyond that, I’m an optimist, I believe all of us will have learnt our lessons.”


Recall, last Friday, the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, disclosed that the Federal Government has suspended Twitter for sanctioning President Buhari's civil war tweets.
