More reactions have trailed Femi Gbajabiamila's remarks about gagging social media describing it as a menace during a book launch on Friday.

Nollywood Times recalls that Gbajabiamila spoke during a book launch in Lagos state on Thursday, February 8, where he expressed concerns about the impact of social media on society, advocating for regulatory measures to address what he perceives as a growing problem.

However, Amnesty International dropped a series of tweets to explain to Nigerians the consequences of the social media regulation. In the tweet, they said those who criticize the President risk a three-year jail term for condemning the president.

Isaac Fayose, brother to former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has responded to Femi's view on his Instagram page, saying that he doesn’t fear a three-year jail sentence or Femi Gbajabiamila. If he can’t fix Nigeria, he should step down.

He captioned the post thus:

“Who dey fear 3 years in prison??? Egbon Femi Gbajabiamila Abeg we know fear you …
