 Away from all of that, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Honorable Patricia Scotland, QC, says they are closely monitoring development around the suspension of Twitter and allegations of repression of the rights to freedom of expression, access to information, media freedom as well as these regard for the rule of law in Nigeria. Ms. Scotland said all Commonwealth member countries, including Nigeria, have obligations and commitments to uphold freedom of expression as one of the core values and principles of the Charter. Now, these honours cause a commitment to the universal declaration of human right and other relevant convenance and international instruments. Now, the statement by the Commonwealth followed an urgent appeal by the social economic right and accountability project, CERAP, urged Ms. Scotland to apply the Commonwealth Charter to hold the Nigerian government to account over the unlawful suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.
