Femi Falana

Popular human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has faulted the Federal Government’s suspension of Twitter in Nigeria and its recent decision to hold talks with the company.

He stated this while speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today on Wednesday.

Falana stated that the decision to meet should have been planned before the suspension was done.

He, however, said it was a good development.

“The Federal Government meeting with Twitter is a good development but in many instances, they put the cart before the horse. I feel this should have been done earlier.

“The government protested when it was dissatisfied with certain developments. This kind of meeting would have been called much earlier and the embarrassment and inconvenience that Nigerians were subjected to would have been totally avoided. But I think it is a good development that both sides are going to meet,” he said.
