The federal government’s suspension of Twitter might have left both in a catch-22 situation as the duo has lost millions of followers that they had built for more than half a decade.The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had last week announced the suspension of Twitter after the firm deleted some aspects of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet, which the company found to be in breach of its rules.Muhammed added an extra reason for the act, saying the temporary prohibition of the internet platform was a response to the firm’s persistent violation of the nation’s national security interest.However, many Nigerians have circumvented the federal government’s blockage of the micro-blogging facility, resorting to the virtual private network to connect Twitter.
