The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that while he would not be part of any bill that seeks to gag the press, he noted that no institution, especially the press, would be allowed to run amok.
The Speaker stated this on Monday during the annual dinner and award of excellence with the theme: ‘Reorganising Good Governance and Legislative Excellence in the Face of Adversity.’
Gbajabiamila’s comment was a sequel to the backlash from media owners, journalists, and other stakeholders on the Nigerian Press Council (NPC) sponsored by Hon. Segun Odebunmi.
