Mr governor made this known in a statement issued on Saturday regarding the suspension of Twitter operations in Nigeria by the federal government.

Makinde said considering a number of benefits the microblogging and social networking service renders in terms of feedback on government policies and socioeconomic wellbeing of the citizenry, the federal government should reconsider its decision.

” Being a statement by His Excellency Seyi Makinde, the Executive Governor of Oyo State, 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.

As leaders, we should go beyond emotional reactions to issues and think about how our actions will affect the people we lead and our international ratings socially and economically.

Twitter has become the platform for young people and indeed all Nigerians to exercise their fundamental right to express and publish an opinion. They use the platform to complain, argue and give feedback to government and its agencies who in turn, use these to improve policies. This is a fundamental point that should be kept in mind as we debate the necessity of this suspension.

We should also remember that Twitter has gone beyond a source of communication for many of our hardworking youths in Nigeria. It has become a source of livelihood for many, irrespective of their political affiliations or religious leanings. Nigerian youths and digital communications organisations earn a living from being able to use the platform to post communications on behalf of their clients.

Others who may not have physical stores also rely on Twitter to give visibility to their products and services.

Furthermore, I believe the Federal Government should be actively interested in how certain policies and action will affect investor confidence.

I therefore use this medium to appeal to the Federal Government to reverse this suspension for the greater good of Nigerians.”
