Statement by Governor Seyi Makinde Regarding the Suspension of Twitter’s Operations in Nigeria by the Federal Government
It has become imperative for me to release a statement regarding the suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria by the Federal Government.
On Twitter ban, an emerging narrative is that FGN is phenomenally quick on negative/wrong actions that will hurt many Nigerians, whilst being slow on positive/correct actions that might uplift many Nigerians. Re 2023, we know the kind of Presidency that we do not want #GoNigeria
Well, the secret is out: I’m not 30+.

I got robbed last night. My attacker walked past me, turned and grabbed me and tackled me to the ground. Phone got stolen. As traumatic as everything was, what scared me the most was that he could have done anything to me. I can feel my heart drop every time I close my eyes.
All this violence.... for money. to collect money at a toll that has already been paid for many times over. I want to be shocked by the level of greed and callousness on display here. but I am not. that saddens me deeply. @jidesanwoolu we are taking notes. #EndPoliceBrutality
The right to protest is a fundamental one in a democracy, and the fact that that the Nigerian Government is once again seeking to quash this right is an outrage and it needs to stop.

What we are seeing today is just the latest attack on legitimate protest, this time aimed directly at young Nigerians seeking justice and accountability for the victims of police brutality & #LekkiMassaccre!

The Rights to Peaceful Assembly and Association and the Right to Freedom of Movement are fundamental human rights in the 1999 🇳🇬 constitution and the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights. What are the #OccupyLekkiTollGate protesters & Mr. Macaroni being arrested for?

The recent massacre of innocent farmers in Borno State is one massacre too many. So far, FG's most widely publicised response has come via unguarded utterances by a Presidential Spokesperson. An honest FG apology plus a sincere admission of failure would have been more comforting
