AIT Yanks Atiku Off The Air At Leadership Newspaper Award. by floriana(m): 11:11am On Sep 18, 2012 |
The so called Africa independent television (AIT) yanked off its transmission of the leadership newspaper award holding in Abuja as Atiku Abubakar was making his speech. Atiku was stating his support for the restructuring of the nation along six geo-political zones and the creation of state police for states that want it. Pronto the programme was yanked off the air and replaced with advertisements and promos. As soon as Atiku finished his speech, the transmission was resumed. This keeps me wondering: How independent is AIT? What is their policy on freedom of speech? And who is this station working for, the citizens or the government? |

Firstly °̩ thought į̸̸̨ƭ was due to technical error, buh when the transmission was resumed after atiku's speech °̩ knew something was wrong..and he was about making comment about critical sector of the economy... Well i think maybe į̸̸̨ƭ a directive from above to avoid heating the polity with his criticism.. |

As expected, before you finally blame GEJ for the sudden break in transmission; be aware that AIT aligns more with IBB and co than the government. It could be one of those IBB vs Atiku muscle flexing. Having noted the above, I feel AIT should tender an unreserved apology to Atiku and concerned Nigerians should investigation reveal that the transmission was maliciously tampered with. |

What is so special about Atiku now, you can only command others while on the power but as far as your occupancy elapse what else will be and who will listen to your command either! That's how the Nation is working all the time. So there is nothing strange for yanking him. |

[quote author=Knight1]Perhaps you haven't listened to Atiku before. thing is the man can be unpredictable and outright indecent. i dont blame them at all[/quote What is indecent is taking the money to transmit an event AIT well know will be chaired by Atiku and yanking off aspects of the programme. Atiku is a despicable politician no doubt, but by undertaking to transmit the programme, they ought to have the decency and professionalism to go the whole hug. And what is more, Atiku was speaking about contemporary Nigerian issues to which he was entitled as a citizen, very corrupt or not. AIT is just pathetic and even the disgraced and disgraceful NTA will be ashamed/reluctant to act in the manner AIT acted. 1 Like |

Nuzo': Have you forgotten that IBB is Jonathan's role model and father? You should also remember that AIT works for Jonathan (the owner is a member of PDP and also was a campaign member of Jonathan election). Also "once" a suspect in the october 1st bomb blast. |

So what should we do about it ? |
Re: AIT Yanks Atiku Off The Air At Leadership Newspaper Award. by FlyboyZee: 1:28pm On Sep 18, 2012 |
GARRI (x7): ATIKU pronunciation 'ar-ti-kwu'. Meaning 'An article, object or subject that will keep fooling himself because of the stupid wealth he has amassed unmerited over the years, who feels very arrogant, pompous and proud to the point of insulting any and every Nigerian who dares to run for the post of President of the Federal Republic'. Also known as 'a pathetic loser'. 3 Likes |

Saw it too and i knew it was because of what he was saying. He also knew this, he told tinubu to be careful of what he was about to say cos he was cut off air. |

Haba! @ OP.. I watched his speech and I am still watching the leadership conference/awards.. I think it was a transmission error, it does happen.. I was impressed by ATIKU for once if he were sincere in his presentation.. Could this man be playing politics by playing to the gallery today? Time shall tell |

Can't really see what he will have said that hasn't been spoken about in public before. However we must understand that its a delicate matter. You certainly don't want your media outfit to be used as a political boxing ring no matter how liberal you desire to be. Perhaps they could have asked for a copy in advance or worked with Atiku's team a bit closer or voiced him over. Several options available. |

highlandre: AIT did similar thing when Dino Melaye was talking. Really, I'm sorry for this country! Same thing here. This is a person who can say about anything in public. Though it should be about the message. Its hard to seperate the messenger. Perhaps a thirty second delay in transmission. Its just hardwork. |

wot if there was break in transmission? must we read political undertone to everything? it makes no sense to reason that atiku was yanked off while presenting, if it were to be buhari or Tunde bakare that would be understandable. |
