Senate President Ahmad Lawan has disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari over the ban placed on the micro blogging and social network platform Twitter.
He said Nigeria and Twitter need one another, and called for amicable resolution of the disagreement.
Speaking at an event to mark the second anniversary of the 9th Senate, he observed, âOur belief is that Nigeria needs Twitter just as Twitter needs Nigeria. Our expectation is that we will be able to resolve this issue. But beyond that, I am optimistic and I believe that all of us would have learnt our lessons.â
He gave assurance that the nation would overcome its security challenges.
He added âI believe this is the worst level we could get to. We cannot go beyond this level; it could only be better. I believe we are going to give a reversal of this situation very soon. We shouldnât despair, we shouldnât be despondent. We should have hope and optimism that our situation will be better.â
The Hose of Representatives had during the week promised to investigate the circumstances that led to the suspension.
