Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai returned to Twitter to reply a post yesterday and many wondered why.
The Govenror like many political holders had abandoned the microblogging site shortly after it was banned in June.
But Mr El-Rufai shockingly tweeted a response to an admirer’s flattering adulation on Wednesday, in contravention of the ban on Twitter. He then quickly dispatched suggestions that he had circumvented the government’s restraint when a user confronted him with allegations that he had tweeted via a virtual private network, VPN, which many Nigerians had been deploying to beat the ban.
“VPN? Nope……outside Nigeria for a couple of days, so can tweet for the time being….@dexxybaba,” Mr El-Rufai tweeted in response.
Many however insisted even though he was outside Nigeria, he should have still kept to the twitter ban, knowing the Federal Government’s stand.
