APC chairmanship: CSOs tackle Sani Musa over anti-social media bill

A coalition of Civil Society Organisations committed to the free press and freedom of speech in the social media space has urged the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress to be wary of backing Senator Sani Musa for the position of National Chairman of the party.

The coalition, under the auspices of Coalition for Free Society and the Social Space, said in a statement signed by its convener Comrade Bala Nura that having the man who initiated a bill to muzzle free speech in the new media as a party chairman would be disastrous for APC. “We all know how the bill titled “The Protection from Internet Falsehoods and Manipulation and Other Related Matters Bill, 2019”, led to a public display of outrage from rights groups and a large section of Nigerians who felt that it was an attempt to gag the citizenry.
