EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Lagos State House of Assembly has denied a claim on social media that it secretly passed a Sharia

The Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Security and Strategy, Hon. Setonji David, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.

David in the statement titled ‘Alleged secret passage of Sharia law by Lagos Assembly, a lie from the pit of hell’, stated that the claim is fake and an attempt to ridicule the assembly.

He added that the claim that the assembly passed a Sharia law in a deal to get Northern support for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is malicious and unfounded.

The lawmaker said he is optimistic that Tinubu would emerge the winner of the 2023 Presidential election to the shame of the purveyors of fake news.

David, however, urged the residents of the state and Nigerians as a whole to take the peddlers of this unfounded report as illiterate, uninformed, and uneducated people

We would not have dignified the writer of this hate speech but in order to set the record straight, this is a mere figment of the imagination of the writer and a total lie from the pit of hell.

“No informed person should believe this lies against the Assembly that is above the common standard of excellence. The news is far from the reality,” Hon David declared.

“Some people are just mischievous. Spreading all sorts of untrue stuff. Is it possible to pass a law under cover? The process of law-making is universal and very open. You cannot pass a law without subjecting it to public hearing in Lagos State.

We urged the residents of the state and Nigerians as a whole to take the peddlers of this unfounded report as illiterate, uninformed, and uneducated people who needed to be schooled about the law-making process,” the statement partly read.
