Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka branded the Twitter ban a “petulant gesture†that is “unbecoming of a democratically elected president.â€
He said: “if Buhari has a problem with Twitter, he is advised to sort it out between them personally, the way Donald Trump did, not rope in the right to free expression of the Nigerian citizen as collateral damage.
“In any case, this is a technical problem Nigerians should be able to work their way around. The field of free expression remains wide open, free of any dictatorial spasms!â€.
