Fani-Kayode tweeted, “I HAVE tweeted. I CHALLENGE you to do your
WORSE!
“You CANNOT threaten, intimidate, overwhelm, silence or defeat a
lion.
“We ROAR and CHARGE with rage, strength, fire and power into the
HOTTEST part of the battle with songs of praise on our lips!
“No fear! No retreat! No surrender!” Fani-Kayode tweeted.
Fayose said, “Malami, I just tweeted. No shaking!”
Ezekwesili had earlier tweeted, “Many fellow Nigerians presently
on @Twitter are happy to be prosecuted by @NigeriaGov for
exercising your constitutionally guaranteed right to speech and
association?
“Please join me and joyfully ??♀️??♂️your hands so @MalamiSan
can find us quickly and take to court.
#KeepitOn.”
Aisha, in response to Ezekwesili wrote, “I’m already putting
together protest kits for those in prison! We start the revolution
from the prisons.
“The rest of the world should know it is in their interest to
ensure dictatorship is not allowed in Nigeria. Imagine if there is
a mass exodus from Nigeria. See the way we have taken over the
trend list in many countries #KeepitOn
“Anyone criminalising the use of twitter in Nigeria is a
criminal #KeepitOn
“Nigeria is in the News all over the world for the wrong
reasons. This government is such a disgrace!”
The Federal Government had on Friday announced the suspension of
microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in the
country.
Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed made the announcement
during a press conference.
He cited the persistent use of the platform for activities
capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.
Also, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar
Malami (SAN) declared that any Nigerian still making use of the
banned platform would be arrested and prosecuted by the
government.
