BudgIT Nigeria has issued a statement saying it will not abide by the federal government’s order banning Twitter in Nigeria.

BudgiT issued the statement on Tuesday defying the dictatorial ban of Twitter by the Buhari regime.

It tweeted: WE WILL KEEP TWEETING!

“We wish to categorically say that we do not know any law that the act of sharing information breaks, and will continue to use Twitter, other social media platforms, & other media channels to demand ACCOUNTABILITY”.

BudgIT is Nigeria’s civic tech organisation, raising the standards of transparency, citizen engagement and accountability most especially in public finance.

It released a powerful statement, signed by many leaders of Nigeria’s civil society, why it could not be encumbered by the Buhari Twitter ban.
