Aisha Yesufu, popular social media activist, has said that
the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, would claim responsibility
for Jack Dorsey’s resignation as Twitter Chief Executive Officer.
According to her, the government would soon tell Nigerians
that Jack’s resignation was part of negotiations to return the social media
platform to the Nigerian space.
Recall that co-founder of Twitter, Jack
Dorsey stepped down from his executive role.
Dorsey, who posted the first-ever tweet in 2006, will be replaced by Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Parag Agrawal.
Elliott Management and billionaire investor Paul Singer had
advised the tech guru to step down from Twitter or Square, his financial
payments company.
In an announcement of Monday, the company said Dorsey would
exit but remain on the board until the stockholder meeting in 2022.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to hear Lai Mohammed claim they
forced Jack to resign. They might even say it was part of the agreement for
them to unban twitter in Nigeria,” Aisha tweeted.
Twitter is currently under suspension in Nigeria having been
accused of being used in spreading fake news in the country.
However, one major event that happened before Twitter
suspension was the taking down of President Muhammadu Buhari’s tweet where the
Nigerian leader was adjudged to have threatened citizens of the country.
