Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari on Monday tweeted for the first time since the country reversed the stressed ban it imposed on Twitter in June last year.
Months after the Federal Government lifted the ban which lasted till early January, Buhari took to the platform to share photos of himself observing the Eid-el-Fitr prayer with the Muslim faith- ful at the Mambila Barracks Parade Ground in Abuja.
In a series of tweets in commemoration of Eid-elFitr, the Nigerian leader, who was accompanied by his family and aides, spoke about the fight against insurgency.
“After a period of fasting and reflection, this year, we have cause to welcome the occasion in hope. The battle waged against terrorists who falsely masquerade under the name of Islam is approaching its conclusion,” he said.
Meanwhile, the president has saluted the courage and determination of journalists who daily go the extra time, sometimes at great personal risks, to keep society well informed
