No intention to gag journalists in NASS - Olu defends national assembly

Mr Olu Onemola SA Media to Senate President has debunk the news sorrunding gagging of journalists in National Assembly as fake

Speaking via his twitter page Mr Olu shows his displeasure over the rate the news has been trending on social media platforms
Here are his views

The attention of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has just been drawn to a story that is circulating on social media about the National Assembly issuing new guidelines to journalists

These alleged guidelines have not emanated from either the Senate President or the Speaker, and will be promptly investigated.

The public should note that the 8th National Assembly has been committed to the freedom of the press as exemplified by its work to bring governance closer to the people through live streams and live tweets of its activities.

The leadership of the 8th National Assembly believes strongly in the freedom of the press and in carrying the Nigerian public along. Hence, the Senate President and all his colleagues will continue to work to ensure that these freedoms remain unhindered.
