GEJ Reminds Nigerians About His 2014 Statement on Freedom of Speech as Military Plan to Monitor Social Media

Ex President Goodluck  Jonathan

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.

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.
