To say the least, the country has gone to the dogs under President Buhari’s czarist and leprous overlordship. Yet, incredibly, the Council is expected to (a) regulate the print media and related media houses, and (b) ensure truthful, genuine and quality services by print media houses and media practitioners! Indeed, critical media stakeholders received their invitation letters to this particular public hearing only after the event had already taken place. However, instead of seeking to halt this terrible state of affairs, the Lawan-led National Assembly seeks to gag Nigerians. We categorically reject the attempt to gag the media and reduce Nigerians to zombies in their own land.
