Abuja, Nigeria, 29 April 2015: The president-
elect of Nigeria, General Muhammadu Buhari,
has instructed all his staff, including the
personnel attached directly to him, to steer
clear of all dealings with the media, and leave
all media affairs to his official media team.
In a statement released in Abuja on Wednesday,
April 29, by Directorate of Media and Publicity
of the APC Presidential Campaign Council,
General Buhari aligned himself with the
pronouncement of his party, the All
Progressives Congress, APC which had earlier
expressed disagreement with the temporary
barring of the African Independent Television
(AIT) from covering his media affairs.
“I would like everyone to henceforth stay within
his/her defined area of responsibility,” General
Buhari said.
The president-elect added that his media team
should be left to deal with their media
colleagues as they best knew how.
According to the statement, General Buhari was
neither consulted nor informed about the AIT
barring, and only became aware of the matter
after the public uproar it generated.
“The time of CHANGE has come,” he said, “and
we must avoid making the same mistakes that
the outgoing government made.” http://www.swiftreporters.com/buhari-cautions-personal-aides-on-media-role

That is a real leader

It was quite obvious the team that barred AIT were being overzealous and wanted to do,in d typical Nigerian way,"eye service".
AIT is almost dead as a TV venture after those distasteful documentaries. It shouldn't be allowed to gain political capital from it after its self inflicted, impending demise.
Once your viewership in an open TV environment plummets, advert patronage declines drastically,and with almost zero advert patronage expected from the next govt and its close partners too, no one needs tell AIT that it has to drastically regig the way it conducts its TV biz,or risks imminent collapse.

Who born monkey to bar or ban AIT.

Who knows, the security men that barred AIT could have been planted there by the PDP.
