Independence Day: Buhari warns against disruptive forces hidden in social media

Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has warned Nigerians to beware of disruptive forces which he said were hidden in social media.

Buhari said this in his national broadcast aired early on Monday to mark the nation’s 58th independence anniversary.

He urged Nigerians to all rise to the responsibility of shutting out “those disruptive and corrosive forces that hide in today’s  world of social media.”

“We need critical minds and independent thinking, to question and question until we are satisfied we have the facts.  Otherwise, all the progress we have made as a democracy since 1999 is at stake,” he said.
