Mr Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna Central senatorial district, has lambasted Northern governors for giving preference to censorship of social media over ‘censorship’ against banditry in the region.
AsheNews earlier reported the Northern governors and Emirs as supporting the regulation of social media because of its devastating effect.
However, Sen. Sani in a response his Twitter handle @ShehuSani on Tuesday, observed that while the people in the region were being killed from activities of Boko Haram and bandits, the governors’ attention was only shifted to regulation of social media.
Shehu Sani in a Tweet on Tuesday said northerners live in fear due to banditry but their Governors were more concerned about social media.
“Northern governors; their kinsmen are being slaughtered daily by bandits & insurgents, their people are daily being kidnapped & impoverished by ransom, their women raped & their villages are under siege.
“Their people live in fear & funerals. Yet, Social Media is their problem.”
