 The federal government says Twitter has reached out to it, seeking high-level discussions to resolve the issue. Minister of Information and Culture Lai Muhammad announced this to correspondence after the meeting of the federal executive council at the presidential villa Abuja, saying that he got the message on Wednesday morning. He insisted that the microblogging platform was suspended because it provided an avenue for people that are threatening the corporate existence of Nigeria. According to him, the owner of Twitter helped to fund the recent N-SARS protest while allowing the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB Namdekanu, to use the platform to call for the killing of policemen. It is because Twitter has consistently made this platform available to those who are threatening Nigeria's corporate existence that is the reason for suspending the operations in Nigeria. Because we found out that Twitter is actually the platform of choice for a particular separatist leader who resides outside the country and the indigenous directives to its members to attack symbols of government authority such as the police, the military, electoral commission offices, correctional centers, et cetera. And this has been done wifually and consistently without any consequences from Twitter. No country worth its name would tolerate that and no company, no matter its self-importance, will force a nation to accept this. Twitter's mission in Nigeria is suspect and I went for that to say yes that Twitter funded the N-SARS protest in Nigeria last year and people have challenged it. And I'm glad that the cable has done some fact-finding and the conclusions are as follow. He said the truth is that fact-checking showed that indeed Twitter's CEO played a prominent role in helping to raise funds for the N-SARS protesters. Whether he played directly or he helped to play or he helped to raise funds I think is a matter of semantics.
