2023: Cyberbullying Now Rampant- Okowa
Governor of Delta State and vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa has lamented the recent spate of cyberbullying ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Okowa spoke on Tuesday at the northern Christian youth assembly summit, with the theme ‘Unifying Nigeria: The Role of Northern Christian Youths and Women’.
The governor said Nigerians should be allowed to use the cyberspace to express their choices ahead of the 2023 general election, adding that it is important for citizens not to act on emotions, but be guided by knowledge.
“We are beginning to see bullying in the cyberspace of our country, I think that everybody should have space, time, to be able to think, make comments without being bullied,” he said.
Speaking further, Okowa said youths need to be prepared for the future by participating actively in the present.
“The real truth is, our youths, particularly youth leaders, must be in position to have a clear understanding of things so that they are able to guide others aright,” he added.
