Ifeanyi Okowa, governor of Delta and vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed concern over widespread cyberbullying amid preparation for 2023 election.<\/p>\n
According to NAN, Okowa expressed his reservation about the growing trend when he spoke at the northern Christian youth assembly summit, with the theme \u2018Unifying Nigeria: The Role of Northern Christian Youths and Women\u2019.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking further, Okowa said youths need to be prepared for the future by participating actively in the present.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is because if you have a leadership that is not able to provide that true leadership of guiding people aright and people begin to think in the wrong way, then you create further problems rather than finding solutions and we all go the wrong path.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
