Aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has assured Nigerians that the Federal Government has no means to effect the suspension of Twitter operation in Nigeria.
In a tweet shared in reaction to the Federal Government’s decision, he said Twitter should ignore President Muhammad Buhari’s threat because his Government has no means of enforcing the suspension.
“The suspension of the activities of @Twitter in Nigeria by the @MBuhari administration should be ignored by @Jack. The Buhari government has no means of enforcing the suspension. Even officials of the Buhari regime are still on Twitter. #TwitterSuspendBuharisAccount #TableShaker”
