Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has said there is nothing like social media bill in the 8th National Assembly.
While seeking to correct the label put on the Frivolous Petition bill, Saraki said Nigerians need not be worried that the bill will infringe on their rights.
Writing on multiple social media platforms on Tuesday, Saraki said Nigerians will be carried along every step of the way before the bill becomes law.
On his Facebook page, Saraki said any part of the bill that ‘is found obnoxious or against public interest’ will be struck out.
He wrote: “There is nothing like social media bill in the Senate. What Senate has is Frivolous Petition bill, and if any part of the bill is found obnoxious or against public Interest, it will be expunged during clause by clause consideration of the bill.”
On Twitter, he explained there is constant engagement between the National Assembly and the stakeholders- the electorate, in all issues.
Public interest in Bills are part of our Commitment to carry Nigerians along and there will be constant engagement BTW NASS and stakeholders
