Nigerian Govt Gives Ultimatum to Elon Musk's X Over Anti-Tinubu Tweet

The Nigerian government has issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Elon Musk's X to delete a tweet by activist Omoyele Sowore criticizing politician Bola Tinubu. The government claims the tweet could incite violence and harm national security.

The Department of State Services (DSS) sent a letter demanding the removal of the tweet, alleging it could cause nationwide chaos. Sowore's tweet questioned Tinubu's integrity in light of corruption allegations.

The government accuses Sowore of spreading misleading information with harmful intentions. This move highlights the government's stance on curbing hate speech and maintaining national security amidst growing tensions.
