The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected moves by the Federal government to regulate social media in the country.
In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, in Abuja on Wednesday, it explained that the move was a slap on the freedom of speech and media rights.
He explained that the move would silence citizens from speaking against the excesses and inconsistencies of the government of the day.

“Our party rejects the claims that the regulation bill is targeted at checking fake news.
