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...

gpmorgan:
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?

steppin:

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.

Myself2:


You and the 158 APC e urchins that liked your senseless comment,I wonder who is more foolish

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

Jesusloveyou:
did he clampdown ait station or withdrawn their license? Is very simple'don't come near me until i am swear in' for security reason ait should be far from buhari,they are his enemy for now til may 29th.

olatunji21:
Ait attack on Gen. Buhari, very democratic, Presidential and 100% acceptable..Fools

olatunji21:

The ethical conduct of Journalism is been lost on AIT, at this moment they pose a great security threat to the President-elect...Tvc is bias, very very but not to the extent of calling Patience Jonathan barren nor accusing the President of been a drunkard..

kevinberry:

And you have to insult me to show your point...
Using violence to achieve your goals will not favour you

belabela:


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

keyman0007:




I think GMB is in order, he never restricted their freedom of expression, he just restricted them from covering his activities, based on security reports and moral issues, to me i think he is in order, after all president Jonathan through the nigerian military restrcited al ja zeera reporters from covering some areas in the North East. I think other stations are availalbe to cover, I think the question you need to be askin is to what level is AIT restricted from covering.

In my opinion the moment daar communication began to broadcast those hate videos dey put dem sef in a difficult situation, if u expect democracy and fairness then act like a democrat, those hate broadcast were too damming for anyone to just over look, even GEJ sef wont find it funny, no reputable news agency will broadcast such without verying the facts. and many of the content were allegations.

Buhari too shd take things easy, he never enter he don dey dish orders na wa o.

Time we tell sha.

MckenzieMikel:



wait oooo.......... the grammatical errors on this thread happens to be one of the reasons I am reading it cos I doubt I have ever for a second fan Buhari... Never loved the military buh I very much appreciate the grammars I am seeing in this thread..... ...conduct of journalism is been lost on AIT... Abeg make we carry rechargeable lamp go find m cos we really need AIT around! ...Patience Jonathan barren nor accusing... ...president of been a drunkard...

would call this one a hat-trick!

Eluwilussit:


So what happens when he's sworn in? Will he still bar AIT from covering him abi AIT won't be a security risk then? I appreciate the safety and security aspect of your post but that comes with the territory. As long as GMB realizes that his privacy is gone with the win and is ready to bear the scrutiny and criticism from the people, he will be fine. I am sure he can't claim to be oblivious of all the name calling and mudslinging that the people before him got.

He wanted the job, he has it. According to Richard Monckton Milnes, 1809-1885, ' the virtue lies in the struggle, not in the prize'. Also Ovid, 43BC-17AD, ' a leader should be slow to punish and swift to reward'. There are valuable lessons in these great quotes.

Buhari, please shield your sword. Embrace all. You are the president elect of both those who voted for you and those who voted against you. We need leadership and understanding, not vendetta. Some sections are already aggrieved. Don't play the winner here. This ain't the time for that. We need reconciliation and good governance.

God bless Nigeria.

Alphaoscar:




The joke is on you because you and your cliches lost out completely and your propaganda arm is about to be sanctioned .

belabela:


If AIT is considered a security risk around the president AIT journalist will be barred. Simples

Even in the UK and the US press TV is banned from operating on their soil cos press TV is considered an iranaian propaganda machine whose news and messages are a security risk. However you can watch it on your phone or laptop even if you live in the US and the UK.

When media corruption case is opened AIT will meet its waterloo Na nairaland dey fear me...Seun fit go the AIT way

barcanista:
The management of AIT are not answerable to Buhari and they owe him no explanation. Buhari has NO right to suspend, intefere or intrude into the affairs of the media whether AIT or no AIT. His action is unfortunate, unconstitutional and can be likened to War Against Press Freedom. You Buharists supporting this show of Tyranny should hide your heads in shame.

Soon we'll know if the Mods of this forum are gonna become patronizers of every rubbish analysis by this OP. Afterall they already wasted the slot for an Opinion thread basically saying the same thing as the OP to the frontpage already - https://www.nairaland.com/2281203/buhari-vs-ait-shameless-act.

Billyonaire:
No sane APC supporter will support Press suppression. There is no reason to support Buhari blindly even when you are aware that he is attempting dictatorship. Where is the change then ?

Buhari must be made to understand that he is a servant of the Nigerian people and NOT a boss. Any attempt to suppress the press will set us all on fire, and he will see no one to rule over.

2015 is NOT 1984
