Oloriegbe Hopes for Truce Between FG, Twitter

Date: 2021-06-19

Chairman, Senate Committee on Health, and senator representing Kwara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe says there is hope insight in the ongoing talks between the federal government and Twitter over the suspension of the operations of the latter in the country.

Oloriegbe who spoke with journalists in Ilorin yesterday on the sidelines of the Grand Finale of Ilorin Emirate Culture and Heritage Competition organised for public primary schools in Kwara Central Senatorial District believed that a dialogue between the federal government and the management of Twitter would see to the return of micro-blogging platform for the usage of the Nigerian people.

The competition was at the instance of Matta Girls Foundation, a pet project of Hajia Maimunat Ibrahim Oloriegbe, wife of Senator Oloriegbe where troupes from the Ilorin West local government area emerged overall winner.

Oloriegbe believed that the interface between the two would lead to the desired outcome.

The lawmaker said, "Federal government did not proscribe Twitter. So, that's wrong. I think they only suspended its activities based on certain observed security challenges that are in it and there is dialogue ongoing between Twitter and the federal government. I hope at the end of the dialogue, they will return Twitter".

Oloriegbe stated further that the competition was organised to tap talented young ones in various schools in the Ilorin emirate to make them more useful to society.

He noted that the Ilorin indigenes are blessed with various cultural values that can be used to move the state forward and to make them self-reliant after their academic pursuits.

Also speaking at the event, the founder and initiator of the programme, Hajia Maimunat Oloriegbe stated that "the programme was developed and implemented against the background of. the identified relegation of our cultural practices and values by our youths".

She said: "Most of the youths these days do not have an understanding of our cultures, they rather know and practice foreign cultures with negatives consequences on our social development.

"In recognition of this social challenge, my husband, Senator Ibrahim Oloriegbe pledged during his campaigns to restore our community cultural orientation and heritage, this programme is part of the fulfillment of the pledge".

Hajia Oloriegbe, therefore, assured the people of the Ilorin community that the programme would continue to be a major one to revive all the forgotten traditions and heritage of the town.
