Social Media: No House of Assembly Can Pass Such Bill in Nigeria, Says Desmond Elliot [Video]

Desmond Elliot, filmmaker and politician has said that no state house of Assembly can pass into an anti-social media bill.

The nollywood actor was reacting to an allegation of supporting an anti-social media bill in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Tweets gathered when Desmond Elliot trended October 26, on Twitter, suggested that the Lagos State House of Assembly was allegedly working on a bill to regulate the social media.

They went on to assert that the said social media bill is aimed at enabling Lagos state to easily arrest youths who would continue tweeting about the Lekki Tollgate incident after it might have been passed and enacted.

Their grievances are hinged on their belief that the movie producer should be on the side of the youths in that he is also a youth.

However, contrary to the above claims, he said the Lagos State House of Assembly has no bill to that effect.

He noted that the only thing he said about social media was that celebrities, motivational speakers and all forms of social media influencers desist from “hate narrative” over the Lekki Tollgate incident of October 20.

He also called social media influencer, @DrOlufunmilayo who spearheaded the rumour to verify before posting next time.
