The senate president, Bukola Saraki who had been silent following the controversy that trailed an alleged social media bill has denied the existence of such media bill in the upper chamber of the national assembly.
Below is what he wrote on his Facebook page;
"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."
