    This was contained in a statement on Sunday by Kola Ologbondiyan, the National Publicity Secretary of the party.

    “The PDP says revelations available to it showed how APC leaders at one of their party’s national caucus meeting recommended the regulation of social media in Nigeria and how they have been plotting to obliterate internet-based interaction platforms such as Twitter.

    “The PDP recalls how the APC Caucus has been pushing bills in the National Assembly, particularly in November 2020, seeking to enforce a draconian regulation of social media, so as to gag Nigerians from exposing its atrocities, including human right abuses, treasury looting, nepotism and sectional marginalization by the APC administration.” The statement said

    “Nigerians can also recall how the APC administration in carrying out the agenda using the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to suffocate the media space with humongous fines and threats of suspension of operating license on broadcast stations.

    “The PDP wants the APC to know that their plot against Nigerians have been exposed and cannot stand.

    “Our nation is known for her resilient citizenry and no leader or political party has been able to suppress the wishes of Nigerians.

    “The APC, in spite of its machinations, cannot vanquish Nigerians in their determination for a free and democratic nation where sovereignty belongs to the people.” The statement further added.
