In a statement today (Sunday) by its spokesperson, Senator Aliyu Sabi, the Senate said members of the public, including those for or against the Anti-Frivolity bill or parts of the bill will have the opportunity to shape its final outcome as there is an elaborate process which the bill must undergo before it becomes a law.
"The senate is committed to freedom of speech and a fully inclusive and participatory democracy".
"All those spreading hate campaigns as a result of the Anti-frivolity bill, hauling insults at and making derogatory comments on Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the institution of the Senate are advised to key into the elaborate legislative process that a bill must pass through before becoming law if they are interested in shaping the outcome of the bill.
This is the right way to go and part of the change we all aspire for our democracy.
Signed
Senator Aliyu Sabi
Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs.
