The House of Representatives has withdrawn the Counter Subversion Bill and related draft legislations following widespread public concern and criticism. The decision was announced by the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Musa Krishi, in a press statement.

The Counter Subversion Bill, introduced on July 23, 2024, sparked public debate and raised concerns about its potential impact on civil liberties. The bill aimed to impose penalties on Nigerians who failed to recite the newly approved national anthem or abused politicians or community leaders.

The Speaker, Abbas Tajudeen, withdrew the bill after extensive consultations with stakeholders and a careful assessment of the nation’s current circumstances. The decision reflects his commitment to ensuring that the House of Representatives remains a true representation of the people’s will and prioritizes listening to citizens and fostering unity.

The withdrawal of the bill has been welcomed by many, who saw it as a potential threat to freedom of speech and expression. The House of Representatives has reaffirmed its commitment to upholding the principles of democracy and ensuring that legislation serves the interests of the people.
