KanyiDaily recalls that Twitter had on Wednesday deleted Buhari’s tweet which threatened to deal with “pro-Biafran secessionist” in “the language they will understand”.

Twitter said the offensive tweet violated the social media company’s abusive behaviour policy, leading to a 12-hour suspension of President Buhari’s account.

Reacting to the development on Thursday, Adamu Garba said Twitter has no right to take down President Buhari’s tweet, adding that the micro-blogging site should be banned in Nigeria.

“Twitter has no right to infuse into our local political affairs. It’s a company not a government,” he tweeted.

“By removing our democratically elected President’s speech to the people of Nigeria, Twitter needs to be shut down from Nigeria’s internet space. Twitter needs to get out of Nigeria.”
