Former Minister of Communications, Dr. Adebayo Shittu, has condemned the backlash against Nigerians who express dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, stressing that free speech is essential to democracy.
Shittu’s remarks follow the controversy surrounding a Lagos-based National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Ushie Uguamaye (also known as Raye), who faced alleged threats from NYSC officials after her viral video criticizing the government.
