Famous Nigerian social critic, Aisha Yesufu, has called out
social media giant, Twitter, for engaging in what she described as “fraudulent
misrepresentation”.
Yesufu asked the blue app to take off the “blue tick” or
give proper explanation of why it was restored to her Twitter handle, insisting
she did not subscribe to it.
Her statement is contained in a post via her verified
Twitter handle on Sunday.
Recall that Twitter had restored “blue tick verification” of
so many public personalities and celebrities after withdrawing same last week.
However, Yesufu claimed that the action by Twitter in
restoring her “blue tick verification” is affecting her, leading to people
questioning her integrity.
She wrote, “Hello @twitter @verified
What you are doing here is fraudulent misrepresentation. I
did not subscribe to Twitter blue. Kindly take off the blue tick or give it,
its proper explanation of why you gave it. Your action is affecting me as it
leads to people questioning my integrity. As well as coercing some of my
followers into action or inaction based on the misrepresentation.”
