Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Bayo Onanuga, a former media aide to President Bola Tinubu, has called for the urgent regulation of the social media space.<\/p>\n

Onanuga said the misinformation and disinformation disseminated on social media might trigger another civil war in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He made the call in reaction to conflicting reports on the ruling of the Kaduna governorship election tribunal.<\/p>\n

He lamented a report that the Kaduna governorship election was declared inconclusive while the tribunal was still reading its judgment.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Onanuga tweeted: \u201cSocial media need to be regulated urgently. So many spurious reports today about the Kaduna governorship verdict by the Election Tribunal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most notoriously shared headline: \u201cKaduna governorship election declared inconclusive.\u201d This was circulating while the tribunal was still reading its judgment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be some control in the social media space, otherwise the misinformation and disinformation being disseminated will one day trigger a civil war in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
