Comedian Wale Gates has officially apologized over his offensive tweet about Adams Oshiomole

Comedian Wale Gates has officially apologized over his offensive tweet about Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole (see previous story here). I understand the apology and I welcome it but why deactivate your twitter handle because of what mere mortals like yourself - who are not perfect either, who also make mistakes and have said things they should never have said - think of you, eh Wale?
