General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministries, Pastor William Kumuyi has reacted to the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government to suspend indefinitely the operations of the microblogging platform, Twitter in Nigeria.

Naija New earlier reported that the Buhari-led government directed telecom operators in Nigeria to deactivate Twitter by midnight on Friday. This comes after the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, on Friday, in a statement released by his media aide, Segun Adeyemi, announced the suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria indefinitely.

Reacting to the Twitter Ban, Pastor Kumuyi who ignored the ban, tweeted, saying that content wouldn’t stop being posted on the handle as it targets a global audience via his social media handle. He also noted that they share content from any of the location their churches are situated around the world.

He wrote; In view of the Twitter ban in Nigeria, please note that the content shared on this handle is targeted at a global audience in more than 5 continents and over 100 Nations and we share the content from any of these locations.
