We issued astatement titled “We Will Keep Tweeting” and filed a lawsuit with our partners - Paradigm Initiative(PIN) & Media Rights Agenda (MRA) - against MTN, Airtel, Globacom and 9mobile for the court todeclare the blockage of Twitter access as unlawful, unconstitutional and against the rights to freedom ofexpression. We also sought an injunction restraining the telecommunication companies from blocking orinterfering with Twitter and any other social media platform. Unsurprisingly, no date has been fixed forthehearingofthesuit.

The Anambra Gubernatorial Debate that we co-hosted withArise TV had the three top candidates in attendance, which continuedourtrackrecordofhostingdebatesthataffordcitizenstheopportunitytocomparewhatthecandidatesareoffering outsideofthejamboreesofrallies.
