The first lady, Aisha Buhari, has thrown her weight behind the proposed social media bill being deliberated upon in the Nigerian senate.
Mrs Buhari made her position known when she spoke at the General Assembly of the Nigerian Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs in Abuja on Friday November 29th, said if China with could regulate social media, she sees no reason why Nigeria cannot.
She said “On this issue of social media, you cannot just sit in the comfort of your house and tweet that the Vice President has resigned. It is a serious issue. If China can control over 1.3 billion people on social media, I see no reason why Nigeria cannot attempt controlling only 180 million people”
