Presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi has reacted to the controversy that trailed Twitter’s decision to site its headquarters in Ghana.
Ogunlesi in his tweets which served as a response to Nigerians outlining some policies that might have made Twitter management team pick Ghana over Nigeria, described such comments as “silly”.
The Presidential aide stated that when Microsoft opened $100m development centers in Nigeria and Kenya (first two in Africa), nobody went about dissing South Africa or politicizing it.
He tweeted;
