Also joining its voice in condemning the controversial bill in a statement to DAILY POST on Wednesday is Fredrick Nwabufo and the Lex Initiative for Rights Advocacy and Development, LIRAD.
“‘They are going to hide behind the COVID-19 issue and other national issues and pass the bill without delay. Their plan is to do it once they resume. It is already signed.'” “Our expectation following the public hearing on the said bill was a swift and decisive death of the bill, considering it will not only constrain citizens’ right to freedom of expression, but also assault and shrink the limitlessness of our civic spaces.
“It is, therefore, worthy of note that Nigerians will not accept a surreptitious passage of the social media bill, and such a move will drastically plunge our faith and confidence in the 9th Senate to the lowest nadir.
