The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye insists he will continue to use Twitter as he is operating within the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
He made his position known on Monday after the Federal Government of Nigeria banned Twitter in Nigeria for deleting President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet considered as hateful to a section of the country.
The Presidency slammed a ban on the microblogging platform and instructed the country’s telecoms companies to deactivated access to all subscribers.
Not done, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami ordered the prosecution of anyone found using the app by any means.
The action of the government has been criticised by international nations’ leaders and missions as well as many local ruling party members
