Garba, made this known in an interview on Channels TV monitored by Afriupdate News on Friday night, he expressed happiness that the Federal government suspended the popular social media platform.
He also alleged that a website is an online machine for the proscribed pro-secessionist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Everyone knows that IPOB is anti-Nigeria, their target is to destroy Nigeria”.
Garba also accused the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of supporting the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
“We have the President of the WTO, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is she part of those instigating Twitter? why won’t she call them to order when they attacking against Nigeria?. Why is it we didn’t get a single tweet from Dr. Ngozi Okonkjo-Iweala about the activities of Twitter? is she supporting IPOB? These are the kind of things we need to investigate,” he said.
He added that he’s happy that Twitter was suspended because it’s an anti-Nigerian force that is seeking for destruction of Nigeria than actually a platform for freedom of expression.
Afriupdate recalls that Adamu Garba during the #Endsars protest on October 2020, asked a federal high court in Abuja to ban Twitter from operating in any part of the country.
Garba accused the chief executive officer and co-founder of Twitter Jack Dorsey and Twitter International Company of “sponsoring” the #EndSARS protests in Nigeria.
Garba asked the court to give “an order directing the 7th Respondent to stop the operation of Twitter Int’l Company in any part of the territory of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“AN ORDER directing the 8th and 9th respondents jointly to pay the applicant the sum of USD 1 Billion as damages.”

Governor Fayemi on his verified Twitter account berated the federal government on the development and defined the action as an “indefensible move”.
He tweeted, “Suspending @Twitter from Nigeria simply because they removed a dangerous, irresponsible & insensitive tweet by @MBuhari is the most absurd and counterproductive move that the FG could have made.
