Northern Governors Call For Censorship Of Social Media by boman2014(op): 9:46pm On Nov 02, 2020
At a meeting in Kaduna on Monday, the
governors said the effect of uncontrolled social
media is devastating.

They also condemned the “subversive” actions of
some #EndSARS protesters, saying some people
took advantage of peaceful protest to push their
“separative agenda”.

“In furtherance to its resolution to further
engage with the critical stakeholders of the
North, the Northern States Governors Forum
held a meeting today Monday 2nd November,
2020 at the Council Chamber, Sir Kashim Ibrahim
House, Kaduna,” the governors said in a
statement.

“After extensive deliberations the following
resolutions were arrived at: appreciates the
roles of Traditional rulers in containing the
menace of Endsars protests in the north.
Collectively agreed that traditional rulers be
given formal roles in the governance
architecture of the Country.

“The meeting rejects and condemns the
subversive actions of the Endsars protest. The
superlative agitations and other change regime
actions outside the ballot Box soon take
advantage of the peaceful protests to push for
their seperative agenda. The meeting endorse
the indivisibility, indissolubility and oneness of
the Nation.

“The meeting took note of the devastating
effect of the uncontrolled social media in
spreading fake news. Therefore, calls for major
control mechanism and censorship of the social
media practice in Nigeria.”

The governors also asked security agencies to
keep “strict watch” on the federal capital
territory (FCT) to guide against “unwarranted
and destructives protests” and to safeguard
critical assets of the nation.

The meeting was attended by traditional rulers,
ministers and leaders of the national assembly.

One week ago, Lai Mohammed, minister of
information, had said social media will destroy
Nigeria if it is not regulated.
Earlier on Monday, Sunday Dare, minister of
youth and sport, said it is important to regulate
social media.

The minister said though the federal government
had the option of shutting down social media
during the #EndSARS protests, it chose not to
do because it is “committed to the rights of
every citizen”.

Many Nigerians have kicked against the planned
regulation of social media. Already, a bill on the
regulation is before the national assembly and
has scaled second reading at the senate.

Want to censor social media so your terrorist fulani herdsmen, bokoharam, bandits, killer police and military can enter full swing on the populace without the world knowing. Whether it enters 3rd reading or last reading it will end in tears for una.

Slowly, every available space for peaceful resolution of conflicts is being closed. Armless protests are being demonized and criminalized by regime agents and beneficiaries of the status quo! It only means one thing; if you want change and you are rigged out at the baallot box, fight it! One of the biggest tragic results of the endsars protests, is the realisation amongst many Nigerians that they are now encircled by pseudo democrats in power. Change is not coming easy anymore. It's only a matter of time before the strong headed starts to look for violent alternatives...
