APC Overrules Buhari's Ban On AIT, Says AIT Is Free To Cover Govt Activities by Nobody: 5:11am On Apr 29, 2015
The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday upturned the ban placed on the Africa Independent Television by the security team of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

Buhari’s team had on Monday placed a ban on the media crew of the AIT, citing security concerns as well as ethical issues.

But the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement in Abuja, said all accredited media organisations, “including AIT,” are free to cover the President-elect’s activities.

The APC said the incoming Buhari administration would not discriminate against any media organisation irrespective of its role during electioneering.

The party however enjoined all media organisations to observe the highest level of professional standards in carrying out their duties.

The party said, “There is a Code of Ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria, and this demands every journalist to ensure a strict adherence to the highest levels of ethics and professionalism in carrying out their duties.

“There must be repercussions, within the realms of the law, for media organisations which have wantonly breached the Code of Ethics of the journalism profession and turned themselves to partisans instead of professionals. But such repercussions will not include barring any accredited media organisation from covering the activities of the President-elect.”

Obama has restricted some agencies from accessing his public appearances but you never here the Democrats undermine his decision. APC don't let your yorubaness undermine the decisions of The President of NIGERIA no matter how uncomfortable it makes you. After all having Tinubu in your bloodstream does not make you feel uncomfortable does it. ? Code of Ethics or not there are exceptions to the rule

Nigerians, welcome to the era of apology.

The next administration will be such that the senile president will do or spew one rubbish or the other and his party will come out to apologise or outrightly deny him.

Just watch and see.

The small smart brains in the likes of Fashola of the APC will definitely help keep pa Buhari in check.
