National Assembly minority caucus dares FG, urges Nigerians 'to keep tweeting'

the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation , Umar Muhammed, to begin the prosecution of those bypassing the ban.In the statement signed by the Minority Leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives, Enyinnaya Abaribe and Ndudi Elumelu respectively, they decried that Nigeria and Nigerians have been losing billions of naira on a daily basis since the ban on Twitter.

“This is completely unacceptable as it is worsening the already biting economic hardship and frightening unemployment level in the country. Moreover, the ban on Twitter in Nigeria appears to be in favour of criminal and terrorist elements, whose activities fester in an environment of suppressed information flow.

“The Joint Minority Caucus sympathises with the organised private sector, manufacturing and service providing companies, small and medium enterprises, online businesses owners and other hard-working entrepreneurs across the country, whose genuine business and means of livelihood have been crippled by the unwarranted ban on Twitter by the APC federal government.”

The caucus also sympathised with students, research-based organisations, media houses, civil societies, faith-based organisations and community groups “whose information-based activities have been violently disrupted by the ban.”They berated the APC-led government for abandoning its duty of addressing the serious economic and security problems confronting the nation and rather dissipate “energy victimising Nigerians over their disagreement with Twitter for deleting a post by an individual.

They urged the federal government to “swallow its pride, accept its misdoing and settle whatever issue it has with Twitter instead of this resort to inflict pains on Nigerians.”

Keep tweeting! Keep tweeting!!

We are obeying the minority caucus.

Law abiding Nigerians already doing that without needing their pronouncement. 1999 constitution as amended has no such law on twitter ban... refused to be ignorant like some law officers. In corruption they unite, on twitter they divide N.O.N.E.S.E.N.S.E

The majority in the National Assembly will never see anything wrong in Twitterban because they are in the same boat with the executive and Nigerians have been told that what ever comes from the executive will have speedy passage.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The house is divided and so is the country

At least every one cannot see the same color from the prism glass... Sanity is a product of home morals and good training.
