Head of Department of Communication and Language Arts, University of Ibadan, Prof. Ayo Ojebode, said peddlers of fake news are a danger to democracy, “but this bill will be a disaster to the country. Without the bill, state emperors called governors, have shown us what they can do with their critics – where is Agba Jalingo and others?
Ojebode feels the bill is not authentic, adding, “There is absolutely no doubt that any bill can be abused. Even in Germany, people have started complaining that too much content was being blocked as the social media law is being applied. Imagine what will happen in Nigeria with all the overzealous emperors that we have. And sadly, folks have been focusing on minister of information and the Federal Government.
