BREAKING: Twitter deletes Buhari’s “threat” tweet against South East
Twitter has deleted President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet threatening genocide against the people of Igbo-dominated South-East.
The President had on Tuesday after a security briefing about the attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the South East, categorically threatened to deal with those who, according to him, want to destroy his government.
Following the development, Nigerians on social media took to Twitter to drag the President for making such threats towards a particular tribe.
While some slammed him for pleading with Fulani herdsmen and bandits who have killed and are still killing innocent Nigerians, others slammed him for threatening the South East with another civil war that killed almost 3 million Igbos.
They also reported the tweet and also called for the suspension of the President’s account by the management of Twitter.
The complaints were received by the management of Twitter and the comment by the President has been deleted.
Also, the Nigerian leader may also be locked out of his account for 24 hours and face a temporary suspension for his offensive tweet.
they were doing the right thing………… that useless president is going to be the downfall of this country………
Instead of bringing those involved to book, you are threatening the entire region
That’s good of him, they just feel like saying anything
They need to mind their utterance next time
That serves them right, I don’t understand the reason why the sitting president will be saying such
