The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) have threatened to sue the Northern Governors’ Forum and the National Assembly if the social media bill is passed.
The civil rights advocacy group in a tweet posted today November 3 revealed that Nigerians have a right to freedom of expression online and they will not welcome any “illegal attempts” to interfere with that right.
SERAP tweeted;
We’ll sue the Northern Governors’ Forum and @nassnigeria if any Social Media bill is passed and signed by President Buhari. Nigerians have a right to freedom of expression online. We won’t accept any illegal attempts to interfere with that right #NoToSocialMediaBill
