Twitter No Longer Run By Lunatics – Trump Reacts To Elon Musk’s Take Over
After months of exile from the microblogging platform, former President of the United States, Donald Trump, said on Friday that lunatics no longer run Twitter.
Naija News recalls that Trump was banned from using Twitter in January 2021 after the microblogging platform owners described his posts as inciting. Twitter, however, would now be controlled by new hands following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the bird app on Thursday, a development that prompted Trump’s comment about the former holder of the widely patronized social media platform. Musk is understood to have splashed $44 billion to buy Twitter, a lingering bid that was concluded late Thursday after months of uncertainty and speculation. “I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country,” Trump said on his own Truth Social platform on Friday in reaction to the latest ownership of the bird app. Naija News understands that Musk had indicated earlier he would lift Trump’s Twitter ban, imposed in the wake of the 2021 assault on the US Capitol that the Republican leader is accused of inciting. Trump, however, has not mentioned if he intended to make a comeback on the microblogging platform. Trump during an interview earlier today told the cable network he liked Musk and wished him luck.
Terror Attack: US Issues Fresh Alert To Employees’ Family Members, Lists Guidelines For Travel
The United State Government again on Thursday issued a warning to family members of its employees to leave Abuja over a possible terrorist attack in Nigeria’s capital. Naija News reports that the warning is coming days after the US Embassy in Nigeria issued a similar terror alert to its citizens, non-emergency employees, and their family members to leave Abuja. In the latest travel advisory issued on Thursday on its website, the US Embassy asked employees’ family members to leave Abuja due to the heightened risk of terrorist attacks. It also advised its citizens to consider departing Abuja using available commercial options, adding that all citizens who wish to depart but are unable to secure commercial options can contact the U.S. Consulate in Lagos. The advisory reads, “The Travel Advisory for Nigeria has been updated due to a heightened risk of terrorist attacks in Abuja. We recommend U.S. citizens do not travel to Abuja at this time. In addition, on October 27, 2022, the Department ordered the departure of family members of U.S. government employees from Abuja due to the heightened risk of terrorist attacks, following the October 25 authorization of departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees and family members from Abuja due to heightened risk of terrorist attacks. “U.S. citizens should consider departing Abuja using available commercial options. U.S. citizens who wish to depart but are unable to secure commercial options to do so can contact the U.S. Consulate in Lagos at LagosFM@state.gov for assistance. “The U.S. Embassy Abuja is only able to provide emergency assistance to U.S. citizens in Abuja. The U.S. Consulate General in Lagos is providing all routine and emergency services to U.S. citizens in Nigeria. U.S. Citizens in Nigeria who require assistance should contact LagosACS@state.gov or +234 1 460 3410.”
