Newsonline reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has used Twitter for the first time since the federal government lifted the restriction on the microblogging platform.

In June 2021, the federal government announced an indefinite suspension of Twitter’s operation after the platform deleted tweets by Buhari who had threatened to treat members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the “language they understand”.

After talks with the social media service which lasted months, the restriction was lifted on January 13.

“After a period of fasting and reflection, this year, we have cause to welcome the occasion in hope. The battle waged against terrorists who falsely masquerade under the name of Islam is approaching its conclusion,” he tweeted.
