PDP reveals why Twitter based African headquarters in Ghana and not Nigeria

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has revealed why communication giant, Twitter, chose Ghana as the base of its operation in Africa and not Nigeria.

In a statement on Wednesday, April 14, the PDP alleged that Nigeria lost, regarded as the giant of the continent, lost the grand opportunity due to misrule by the President Buhari-led administration.

The opposition party claimed that Nigeria deserves the honour because it has more traffic on the site than the West African nation.

It went on to state that the rumoured attempt to suppress free speech and inconsistent economic policies are factors that were considered.

It maintained that “the decision by Twitter to by-pass Nigeria to locate its African operational base in Ghana is another sad commentary of how our nation, which was hitherto a global investment hub under the PDP, has now been so degraded in global economic competitiveness under the APC.”

The PDP added:

“Nigerians were heavily despaired on Monday when the founder of @Twitter, @jack, announced that his company will be setting up its headquarters on the continent in Ghana despite Nigeria’s domineering twitter traffic in the sub-region.

“It is sad that our nation has continued to lose huge foreign direct investments, which would have brought in more economic opportunities, especially for our youths, just because the @MBuhari Presidency and the @OfficialAPCNg lack the capacity to deliver on good governance.”
