Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, says the social media space needed clean up as the use of outright abuses and insults instead of constructive criticisms was wrong.

Odigie-Oyegun said this in Abuja on Wednesday in an interaction with newsmen.

He said that the party’s stance on the controversial Bill for an Act to Prohibit Frivolous Petitions and Other Matters known as the anti-social media bill was known.

“The social media space needed clean up as the use of outright abuses and insults instead of constructive criticisms is wrong”.

He also said James Faleke will be replaced as deputy governor-elect should the need arise.

On subsidy, he said: “ whether subsidy goes or stays is an intricate and major issue.
‘’If it has to go, the government must have to construct the palliatives to cushion the effect of the hardships that may come on the ordinary Nigerian.
“Anyway, eventually, subsidy will have to go but we have not reached that stage yet.
‘’You cannot just wake up and announce that subsidy has been removed without putting the adequate programmes in place to cushion the negative aspects that may be involved.’’
The chairman told the newsmen that minimum wage was a delicate issue because there were a lot of forces at work.
“The economy was run aground so badly that they have to borrow to pay salaries and this was not the creation of APC.
“Today all governments are borrowing to pay salaries and that cannot be sustained. What the solution is on the longer term, the machinery of governance is still working on.
“There is no method that is adopted that will not create stresses on any system but at the end of the day, we will find an answer,’’ he said.
On Bayelsa election outcome, Odigie-Oyegun said that the party was not satisfied but said that since INEC had made a pronouncement on it, the option the party had was to accept it or go to court.
‘’We are waiting for the processes to be concluded, but I must say we have a lot of reservations about what has gone on up till the present moment.
“If we win as we expect to win, the kind of reactions that we’ll take will be different,’’ he said.

APC & change voter's had come to understand that their Presisaintdent is a Certified Tested & Trusted Dullard so, they are avoiding criticisms & baptismal names of many kinds..



By this time next year, Mr 95% will know that leadership is more than criticising the sitting government..



Last Bullet: Has anybody heard from "Miss #BringBackOurGirls a.k.a Oby Ezekwesili lately??

I JUST THEY LAUGH THE WAY APC THEY USE US FOR A RIDE, AFTER THEY USED THE SOCIAL MEDIA TO ACHIEVE THEIR DIRTY AIM, NOW THEY WANT TO CLEAN(ELIMINATE) IT....THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE SWORD(SOCIAL MEDIA) SHALL DIE BY THE SWORD(SOCIAL MEDIA)

Why won't it need clean up? After using it effectively to win the general elections, it sure needs to be cleaned so that others can't use it too

SOCIAL MEDIA BILL IS A WAY OF APC SHUTTING THE VOICE OF THE YOUTH.

Clean up Abi, when there's clean up to be done in Ogoni Land.
Misplaced Priorities.

Amadioha, pls call your brother sango, and your european cousin zeus... Locate any person(s) who voted/campaigned for this APC/buhari 'change' that is now complaining, fire them with your interballistic- bermuda triangle- thunder at the center of there head(s).

Nonsense cleanup! When you were using it against jona you never asked for cleanup,now that you are at the receiving end you are asking for gag. You people lied the foundation of insult on the office of the presidency so get ready to enjoy the bashing.ndi ara!

The APC keeps proving time and again that they're led and populated by hypocritical moróns

That Social Media needed clean up is not the responsibility of any Democratic govt. You people should rather focus on what will benefit Nigerians than disturbing yourself on what's on people's mind.
