There has been a litany of problems with the social media platform in Nigeria, where misinformation and fake news spread through it have had real world violent consequences. All the while, the company has escaped accountability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNevertheless, the removal of President Buhari\u2019s tweet was disappointing. The censoring seemed based on a misunderstanding of the challenges Nigeria faces today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President in his address at the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA in 2019 said \u201cthe world was shocked and startled by the massacre in New Zealand by a lone gunman taking the lives of 50 worshippers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis and similar crimes which have been fueled by social media networks risk seeping into the fabric of an emerging digital culture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMajor tech companies must be alive to their responsibilities. They cannot be allowed to continue to facilitate the spread of religious, racist, xenophobic and false messages capable of inciting whole communities against each other, leading to loss of many lives. This could tear some countries apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Buhari has therefore been warning against social media\u2019s disruptive and divisive influences and the government\u2019s action is not a knee-jerk reaction to Twitter\u2019s preposterous deletion of his tweet which should have been read in full\u201d, the statement said.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the narrative that President Buhari\u2019s comments in the deleted tweets were genocidal in nature or a threat to citizens, the Presidency said it was rather a statement of fact about situations witnessed during the Nigerian civil war, adding that it was was rather an assurance that rights of Nigerians would be preserved.<\/p>\n<p>It, however, noted that government would not fold its arms when the activities of IPOB, which it insists is a proscribed terror organisation, continue to put pressure on the peace and security of the country, a situation it said Twitter had refused to take notice of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tweet was not a threat, but a statement of fact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA terrorist organisation (IPOB) poses a significant threat to the safety and security of Nigerian citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the President said that they will be treated \u2018in a language they understand\u2019, he merely reiterated that their force shall be met with force. It is a basic principle of security services response world over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not promotion of hate, but a pledge to uphold citizens\u2019 right to freedom from harm. The government cannot be expected to capitulate to terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPOB is proscribed under Nigerian law. Its members murder innocent Nigerians. They kill policemen and set government property on fire. Now, they have amassed a substantial stockpile of weapons and bombs across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwitter does not seem to appreciate the national trauma of our country\u2019s civil war. This government shall not allow a recurrence of that tragedy,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidency has described widespread translation of the recent suspension of the social media platform, Twitter\u2019s operation in Nigeria as misleading, saying it has nothing to do with the deletion of President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s tweets.
