, examine moves by the Federal Government to amend media laws in the country. They conclude that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , is not a born-again democrat he claims to be.
“So before you is a former military ruler and a converted democrat who is ready to operate under democratic norms and is subjecting himself to the rigours of democratic elections for the fourth time,” Buhari had said.
The government also seeks to amend the Nigerian Press Council Act and the National Broadcasting Commission Act that are currently before the National Assembly to have more control over the press. “What is happening is not strange because President Buhari is not a democrat even though he claims that he is a born-again democrat.”
Ekpu further noted that the Nigerian Press Organisation, comprising the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria, the Nigerian Guild of Editors, the Nigeria Union of Journalists, as well as other media veterans in the country were meeting and would make their consensus and actions known soonest.

Which of this buhari are they talking about
But ya'll campaigned and voted for him
The policy of regulating social media is not a solution to Nigeria's problems. The government should strive to at least achieve the basic tenets of democracy particularly security, equity,fairness & justice. Freedom of expression & speech remain human rights & are not negotiable.
