Nigeria needs Twitter, Senate President Lawan declares

The Senate finally broke its silence on the indefinite suspension of Twitter by the Federal Government when its President, Ahmad Lawan, stated that Nigeria needs the microblogging platform just as it needs the nation.

Lawan made this known at a news conference in Abuja to mark the second year anniversary of his administration in office.

He declared that the Senate was convinced that the Federal Government and Twitter would ultimately settle their dispute.

Lawan said, “The Honorable Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has informed Nigerians that the government is talking with Twitter to resolve this matter.

“Our belief is that Nigeria needs Twitter just as much as Twitter needs Nigeria.

“We believe that the matter between Twitter and the Federal Government of Nigeria will be resolved.

“But beyond that, I’m an optimist; I believe all of us will have learnt our lessons.”
