In a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, the human rights activist said people are being threatened and sacked from their jobs for exercising their freedom of speech on the social media.
The ex-senator, who accused the system of intimidating and silencing members of the legislature, decried that freedom was in reverse gear, adding that the world may be tired of democracy.
“Everything happening in dictatorships is now gradually happening in the most advanced democracy; punishing universities for permitting protests, disobeying and disrespecting judges as well as witch-hunting political opponents and arraigning them in court on concocted charges.
“Thinking of constitutional amendments for presidential tenure extension, deploying troops without following due process and harassment of the media,” he wrote.
