Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi is the sponsor of the controversial bill on Hate Speech, which prescribes a death penalty for promoters of incitement and other violent crimes. 

Although he has jettisoned the death penalty clause, more stakeholders are still calling for a total discontinuation of the consideration of the bill.

In this interview with Sunday Sun, the Niger North senator who doubles as the deputy chief whip of the Senate spoke on the bill. He also spoke on the allegation of the Senate being a rubber stamp, among other issues.
