[size=14pt]DEAR BUHARI,

I STRONGLY SUPPORT YOU FOR USING YOUR RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHO COVERS YOUR PROGRAMMES.

"BARRING" AIT FROM THE MEETING MEANS THEY CAN GO TO COVER OTHER PROGRAMMES.

HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO "BAN" THEM, AND I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER DO THAT.

THANKS FOR EXERCISING YOUR RIGHT WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE LAW.

Am shamed of you barcanista totaly ashamed..you are way more smarter than this...playing opposition does not mean you should let go of common sense...

As far as privacy is concerned to me he has the right to barred them...when he is sworn in,then we can now begin to judge....

For now he is just an ordinary citizen like me and you...you are way more smarter than this..please grow up...

I beg to disagree with you on this. GMB isn't an ordinary citizen like you and me. Even before he won the last presidential election, he was not ordinary. He was an ex head of state. That has a lot of privileges.

Now as the president elect, though not sworn in yet, he has even become more extra-ordinary. He's much more than the ex head of state. He's the man all eyes are on right now. Ordinary citizens don't live in our defence headquarters. They don't receive emissaries. U.S., UK and their allies don't call ordinary citizens.

Please, let's not make excuses for Buhari. He fuccked up big time. He should expect some media houses to play opposition to his government. He should woo the press and be their darling, and then he will have easier term(s).

We will talk more about democracy and freedom of press as soon as Nigerian press are no longer corrupt.
Nobody should entertain AIT. This organization is part of what is wrong with our country.

I will be happy if AIT is banned for life.

There is nothing more despicable than a corrupt press organization, that buys and sells stories.

Bravo to Buhari for letting Nigerians recognize from day 1 that it is no longer business as usual.
Things are now going to be done accordingly.

New Nigeria = Discipline, Respect and Honesty

That is the only way.

If the Action of AIT is not acceptable by Buhari he should seek redress from Court. we are in democracy no longer military era. Many of you insulted GMD on this Nairaland and GMD did not banned Nairaland. what of Sahara Reporters, DR. Damages and co?. It is high time we stopped supporting evils blindly. is it the kind of CHANGE we are expecting to see?

barcanista:
And it is very simple "it is unconstitutional, undemocratic, anti-journalistic and unacceptable for a public officer like Buhari to have even made that order". FYI Buhari is a public figure. The title of President-elect is not a Chieftaincy title. He is expected to live a noble life as expected of a President-in-waiting. He is expected to respect every item in the constitution. In fact, we are not "begging" him to be law-abiding, he has no choice but to conduct himself as expected. Otherwise, he will have Nigerians to contend with.

public figure for his bedroom or in aso rock,is it buhari activity or nigeria activities,but u once said gej is stil d president til may 29,or are we having two president now.and d constitution u quote said d media should be a watchdog to govt activities,is buhari conducting govt activities in his private house,ait should go cover nnpc,and monitor madueke not to escape,they should not come near buhari till may 29.it is against privacy,unprofessionalism and unethical standard

In the discharge of its constitutionally guaranteed rights to inform and enlighten as a media house,AIT only disseminated valuable information it scooped about Buhari.If the man feels defamed,the rational thing to do is to seek redress in the court of law.Obviously,it appears to be asking too much of Buhari by asking him to be rational

Stop being sentimental. He chose to be in public glare, scrutiny and attacks from the press comes with the job.
If he had stayed quietly in his Daura home in Kastina, nobody would have attacked him.
Countless times, GEJ was called a clueless, weak and a dull president, but he fought or barred anyone.
Buhari should learn from him.

He is still an ordinary citizen under the law.

This is not about playing opposition this is about the fact that his security details considers AIT a security risk near the president elect and barred them.

Who knows if they had a poisoned microphone like the one allegedly used to kill Okadigbo.

You may tune in to AIT to check if it's on air. They are free to spew any poo left in their moutyh. The era of lying to the public is coming to an end. news not lies will be on our airwaves

barcanista:
What do you mean by "AIT attack"? If Buhari is convinced that AIT aired defaming story on him, the appropriate thing to do is to seek redress in Court or Petition the regulatory agencies. Buhari will not be allowed to "tame" the Press. This is not within his power and it is unacceptable in any democracy.

Yes They are in Court and i don't take u to court and still allow u to come and eat and dining with me in my house when our matter are still Court . Lets AIT wait till after the outcome of the court . Beside where are all this Media Houses and Newspapers at when AIT was Damaging Buhari personal life is that PART of Journalism also.

dude, a ban is wrong irrespective of whatever. when tinubu had issues, he proceeded to court, not ban and when courts passed verdict, all parties respected.

cos Buhari is president elect doesnt mean he should abuse authority like that. except STV, which other station isn't a pro Buhari. And that STV isn't a news channel like AIT. like their mantra, its all bout entertainment. AIT's rival is TVC and TVC hasn't been fair politically too...

You are the one whose stupidit canot and shoulnt be overlooked..e-idiot, does the fact that he lives in the defence house mean that he has a right to ban,sack,or control jus like Gej. Bro he could ve done worse to AIT even as an ordinaring citizen by sueing and making pay termendously, but he didn't, he just said AIT you can air other programmes but not my personal life which I cannot trust u with considering the lies they aired about him in d past.. don't just be a fool by default when u see an attack thread against smebody u hate..it kills like cancer, wakeup and always read between the lines.

Lets not bring in sentiments here... There are diverse ways of addressing issues raised legally. But to ban a media station from his coverage, it means you want them to close shop...

This is very undemocratic!!!

Our outgoing President (President Jonathan) stood in the mist of all sorts of media storms and even made jokes of serious allegations and accusations but never for one day did he consider banning a media house...
