Olusegun Odebunmi, Sponsor Of Press Gagging Bill, Suspends It For Consultation by Seun(m): 4:04pm On Jul 13, 2021 |
According to the Nation Online, Hon. Olusegun Odebunmi from Oyo State, who recently introduced a bill to control the press in Nigeria, has suspended the bill temporarily to allow for consultation for 3, 4 or 5 weeks, after which he will bring it back and try to get it passed again. The lawmaker representing Ogo Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency in Oyo State, Olusegun Odebunmi, who sponsored the bills for amendments of laws establishing the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) and the Nigeria Press Council (NPC), has stated the legislative process on the bills has been suspended for further consultations.https://thenationonlineng.net/sponsor-suspends-process-on-nbc-npc-amendment-bills/ What do you think? Is the suspension necessary? Should Hon Odebunmi bring back the bill after 5 weeks, or should he drop it completely?

Something he should have done before proposing the bill.. Cart before the horse I really don't see the necessity for the bill.. It should be dropped. We have other pressing issues to deal with than this. 11 Likes |

Better. I watched him on Sunrise daily of the channels TV this morning and, he was battling trying fruitlessly to elaborate on the bill. It's obvious someone push the bill through him cus he seems not to even understand the content of it. 115 Likes 7 Shares |

How did it come about such a silly bill? Important issues in his constituents are not his concerns rather his priority is to suppress the polity. 6 Likes |

This bill is a precursor to a hidden agenda being propagated by this useless government. Just take a look at the tone Mr senator is using. He speaks like nobody can do anything about it. No, the NUJ should siddon and look like a slowpoke while you gag freedom of expression. These sect or cabal is trying very hard to lay foundations for their grand plan. It was first the NGO bill, then Social media bill. There's also the riot act that aims to stop any form of public protest. And to think the southern leaders and politicians are also doing the bidding of these cabal, is even more shameless than you think. Nigerians, your freedom is at stake. If they gag the media, they've gagged the whole populace. Else, if this continues, disintegration is imminent. Wanna know the consequences of that? Go back to 1967. 20 Likes 2 Shares |
