APC, Buhari Are Ready To Keep Suppressing Online Freedom In Nigeria – PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has come out to say that the declaration by the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the by-passing of Nigeria by Twitter to cite its African Headquarters in Ghana as a non-issue proves that the ruling party has little or no understanding of governance.

This was recently revealed in a statement issued by spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, it is now clear that APC and Buhari administration are not ready to end their policy inconsistency and the fettering of our youths through suppression of free speech, stifling of online freedom and open internet.

He added that it is sad to see how Buhari and those advising him have decided to keep suppressing every vocation in which our youth demography has shown interest.

His words, “This disposition by the APC and the Buhari Presidency has further strengthened the widespread view among Nigerians that this administration suppresses every vocation in which our youth demography has shown interest.”

“In a desperate bid to justify its manifest misrule and abuse of human rights, shows that the APC and Buhari administration is not ready to end their policy inconsistency and the fettering of our youths through suppression of free speech, stifling of online freedom and open internet, for which Twitter shunned our nation for Ghana.”

“Their statement also validates apprehensions in the public space that the APC deliberately worked against the citing of Twitter headquarters in Nigeria because of their plot to forcefully regulate the use of internet in our country.”

“A more responsive government and political party, which have the interest of the people at heart, ought to the device all means possible to attract the Africa Headquarters of Twitter to our country given the huge benefits such would have served in the face of grinding unemployment which the APC administration has imposed on our nation.”

“It is indeed saddening that rather than devise means such as this opportunity to create wealth and revamp our economy, the APC and the Buhari Presidency are mortgaging the future of our nation through all manner of foreign loans which they cannot account for.”

“Now that they have borrowed from all corners of the world and turning our country into a debtor nation, with nothing to show for it, the APC and the Buhari administration have resorted to primitive printing of naira notes not minding the huge inflation as well as devastation such would trigger in our economy.”

“From the arrogant disposition of the APC, it is clear that it has no regard for Nigerians and as such has no business being in governance.”
