The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has countered the Peoples Democratic Party PDP for lambasting President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration over the decision of Twitter to cite the headquarters of its African operations in Ghana.
APC in a statement by the National Secretary of its Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe on Thursday in Abuja said Twitter’s action was purely a business decision by a private organization.

The decision or rationale of private concerns, particularly businesses on where to cite their operations is their exclusive preserve. It is a no issue!
