By our Reporter

Barr Lateef Fagbemi, Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), has warned politicians who are “demarketing” Nigeria on social media, stating that such individuals are unfit to lead the country.

Speaking at a Social Media Summit in Abuja on Wednesday, September 18, Fagbemi also restated that President Bola Tinubu is committed to leading the country out of the woods.

“All hands must be on deck in efforts to transform Nigeria into a greater nation devoid of bickering. The government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to leading the country out of the woods.

“Just as they say that social media neither sleeps nor slumbers, we must watch our word! Weigh it before you utter it. For, once uttered, it cannot be retrieved.

“No individual should use his freedom of speech on social media to infringe upon the rights of another as it is fast becoming the order of the day. We must also be careful of what we say about our country.

“Political differences should not make us de-market our country on the international stage. Only unpatriotic citizens or leaders will choose to do so. Those who speak ill of their country to settle political differences should never have the opportunity to lead the same country at any stage,” he said.
