No anti social media bill before Senate-- saraki

The Senate President Dr.Bukola Saraki yesterday
said there was no anti-social media bill before the
senate. Speaking on the sideline of Lagos
Business School Dinner in which he was a guest,
Saraki said “We have only debated the Principle
of the bill, we have not gone into the details of
the bill, so if there is any part of the bill that
does not conform to human right, be rest assured
that the senate will do the proper thing. So there
was no bill that was brought forward called
social media bill.
“I think there is need for clarity on that and to let
you know that those that led the protest, we have
received their letters, we have told them to be
rest assured that by the time it goes to
committee work, and go to public hearing some
of these things will come up. But you must
understand that when those bill come to the floor
of the senate they come as argument on the
principle of the bill, and the principle of that bill
was Frivolous Petition, nothing to do with social
media but later on we did find out that there was
a section in it about social media. That will go
away when it comes to third reading when you
start the third reading, where you consider section
by section.
