Twitter supports IPOB more than FG - Adamu Garba

Former presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba believes the social media platform Twitter is biased towards the Nigerian government.

He is of the notion that Twitter is in bed with the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra hence their constant support for the secessionist group.

Adamu Garba made this statement during an interview with Channels Television on Friday evening, June 4, 2021.

According to Garba the federal government's decision to suspend Twitter operations in the country indefinitely following the deletion of the president's tweet was necessary.

In October 2020, Garba sued the social media platform for "supporting" the #ENDSARS protest.

He said, “Yes, I’m happy. Seriously. It is clearly showing that actions cannot just happen without consequences.

Twitter, if you studied their move for the last two years, they have been more of an anti-Nigerian force, for the destruction of Nigeria than actually a platform that’s supposed to advocate for freedom of expression of Nigeria.

“Because if you look at what happened with the removal of some of the tweets of the president, I can’t see very strong or vile word than that of Nnamdi Kanu that was left to still be available on Twitter.

“We have a very serious crisis in the south-east, where these guys are destroying fundamental institutions of Nigerian democracy, INEC offices, police institutions and courts.

“They are killing people on the streets, destroying people’s properties, and then Twitter is behind them.

“I think Twitter is like a kind of IPOB online machine because what they do more is to support IPOB much more than the government. IPOB, everyone knows, they are anti-Nigeria. Their target is to destroy Nigeria.”
