Twitter ban: See The Thought Provoking Warning Sweden Government Gave President Buhari

 

Sweden on Friday reacted to the indefinite suspension slammed on Twitter by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The European country in a tweet on its official handle, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to respect ‘freedom of expression.’

It noted that Nigerians have a constitutional right to exercise their freedom of expression and a right to access of information.

The tweet reads, ”Nigerians have a constitutional right to exercise their freedom of expression and a right to access of information.

”This must be respected. Safeguarding free, independent media and civic spaces for democratic voices is an important part of Sweden’s #DriveForDemocracy #TwitterBan

Just a few days after Twitter deleted a threat tweet against South East by President Buhari, the FG placed a ban on the platform.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed explained that Nigerians were using Twitter to perpetuate activities inimical to the corporate existence of Nigeria.
