Former Presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba has come under fire after threatening to take Twitter CEO, Jack to court if he don’t stay away from Nigerian politics.
The threat came barely10 hours after the Twitter CEO threw his weight behind the Endsars Movement. He tweeted with the Hashtag Endsars and a Nigerian Flag.
Adamu who reacted with agitation beseeched the tech giant to desist from sponsoring such.
”It’ll do you a lot more good if you stay away from Nigerian Politics. You should know that the so-called #EndSARS protest have transformed into political agitation, capable of breaking law & order in our country. You should not be a moral & financial sponsor to this.
This is Nigeria, most of the demands initially presented was attended to by the responsible authorities. SARS no longer exist in this country.
Your support for a disbanded entity was a needless interference. We cannot allow killings again in Nigeria in the name of protests.
I understand that this may play well to your business, you have more content, more people & more activity on your platform, but to us is about life, peace & security of our dear Country, we cannot allow you to be part of the people sponsoring disorder. We need peace & prosperity.
I can see you are even sharing a link for people to donate money for this protest, an event capable of escalation beyond our already overstretched security management.
If this protest continued to evolved into disorder (hopefully not). As a Nigerian citizen, we’ll meet in court
Thank you. @jack”
However the tweet did not sit well with many young Nigerians as they stormed his page to kick back against threatening the tech giant.
