Senate President, Bukola Saraki, declared in Lagos today that section 4 of the Anti-frivolous petition Bill now popularly known as ‘Anti-Social Media law’ would not see the light of day at the Senate.
Saraki stated this while delivering the keynote address at the StateCraft Masterclass series at Social Media Week, held in Lagos.
Saraki, according to a statement by his Special Assistant on New Media, Mr. Bankole Omishore, emphasised the growing influence of social media users in Nigeria’s political environment.
He then encouraged the audience to continue to contribute to the development of Nigeria through their dialogue and debate on social media.
The senate president said, “Without the involvement of social media, there is no way that we would have moved from a non-performing government because now everything is out in the open unlike years ago.”
