Buhari Bars AIT From Covering His Programmes by Nobody: 9:59pm On Apr 27, 2015
Security advisers of the President-Elect, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari on Monday barred the
television crew of the African Independent
Television from covering the activities of their
principal until further notice.
It was gathered that the security team cited
adverse security reports and ethical issues as
reasons for their action.
Members of the AIT crew, who were at Defence
House, venue of a meeting between the President-
elect and a visiting Cuban delegation, led by its
Ambassador to Nigeria, were asked to leave the
vicinity until further notice.
The crew, who did not speak on record, insisted
they would remain and continue to do their jobs
because they had yet to be “formally informed.”
“Yes, we were told but we cannot just leave; we
have a job to do. In any case, we have not been
officially informed about what we have done
wrong,” one of them said.
Director of Press of the All Progressives Congress
Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mallam Garba
Shehu, confirmed the development.
He said concerns over security and the need to
sort out some ethical issues were responsible for
the action.
Shehu said, “AIT has been asked to stay aside
based on security and family concerns. In addition,
General Buhari has decided that they will have to
resolve some issues relating to issues of standard
and ethics.
“We will be talking with them to try and resolve
the matter but for now, the station has been asked
to stay aside because, like I said, there are some
family and security concerns.
“They have been asked to step down their
coverage until we resolve the matter with them on
ethics and standards.”
