He said, “If you ask me whether I am happy that there is no Twitter today that I cannot tweet, I will say, of course not.
“I am not happy that I am not tweeting and I hope there will be an amicable resolution and I hope Twitter will be responsible going forward.”
The Nigerian government last Friday announced it had suspended Twitter operations indefinitely.
It said the suspension was necessary because the platform posed a threat to Nigeria’s corporate existence.
