Goodluck Jonathan
In
the wake of Nigerian military's announcement that it planned to monitor
social media activities by Nigerians, former President Goodluck
Jonathan, has reminded Nigerians about his 2014 statement on Freedom of
Speech.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has taken to his verified
Facebook page to post a statement he made in 2014 in which he declared
that no other president in the whole world has ever been insulted as he
had been, as he never did anything to stop people from airing their
opinions.
The Otuoke, Bayelsa state-born influential politician and chieftain
of the Peoples Democratic Party's reaction is coming in the wake of
Nigerian military's plan to monitor hate statements and social media
activities by Nigerians.
Recall that we had reported on Wednesday
that the Director of Defence Information, Major-General John Enenche,
told Channels Television that it became necessary to monitor social
media activities of people in the light of troubling activities and
misinformation capable of jeopardizing the unity of the country.
His comments come less than 48 hours after President Muhammadu
Buhari said in his national broadcast that some of the discussion on
social media in his absence crossed the line and left him distressed.
