Nigerians have accused President Muhammadu Buhari of trying to play smart ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Reacting to the lifting of the ban on Twitter, some Nigerians said the Buhari government was trying to bribe them ahead of the polls.
The lifting of the ban followed approval by President Muhammadu Buhari after 222 days.
The decision was revealed by the Chairman Technical Committee Nigeria-Twitter Engagement and Director-General National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi.
In a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, Kashifu noted the approval was given following a memo written to Buhari by his Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof Isa Ali Ibrahim.
