Solade says Twitter has been used to foment trouble and anarchy in the country.
According to the movie veteran during a chat with GoldmyneTV, the social media platform went too far by insulting the president of the country, Muhammadu Buhari.
“I think Twitter went too far by insulting the President of Nigeria and by extension, insulting all of us, some 200 million Nigerians, the most populous black nation on earth. I think the 45% of subscribers make Twitter very thick,” he said.
“I will want to align with the school of thought that Twitter wasn’t really helping. Nigeria has many issues to contend with and Twitter wasn’t really helping the country. Most of the posts were far far too negative especially hitting the government of Nigeria. On a wider scale, it really trampled on the fundamental human rights of Nigerians.”
It would be recalled that the federal government suspended the social media platform on Friday, June 4, 2021.
According to the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, Twitter’s actions are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.
