Former military President, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, has condemned the Hate Speech Bill, sponsored by Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi. Babangida declared that nobody can muzzle Nigerians and deny them freedom of speech. Speaking in his Minna Uphill residence while hosting the National President of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Chief Christopher Isiguzo, Babangida said there was no basis for the bill because no one can deny Nigerians their fundamental rights.
