The government defended its action by citing \u201cpersistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria\u2019s corporate existence\u201d for the ban.<\/p>\n<p>The action attracted widespread condemnations, with the leading opposition party in the country describing it as \u201ca vexatious, condemnable and barbaric move to muzzle Nigerians\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But a spokesman to President Muhammadu Buhari insisted on Saturday that the action was necessary. It said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/05\/just-in-real-reasons-twitter-was-suspended-presidency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and other major tech companies must be held accountable for what goes on their platforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere 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,\u201d Buhari\u2019s spokesman Garba Shehu said in a statement. A<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the while, the company has escaped accountability. Nevertheless, 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.\u201d<\/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 the 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.<\/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 \u201cin a language they understand,\u201d he merely reiterated that their force shall be met with force. It is a basic principle of security services response the world over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the 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.
