[size=15pt]Buhari threatens court actions against NTA, AIT [/size]

The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential flag bearer, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has threatened to institute a legal action against the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, and the Africa Independent Television, AIT, for airing hate broadcasts against his personality.

This is coming on a day the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, cautioned all broadcasting stations operating in the country to adhere strictly to the provisions of the broadcasting code or risk sanctions.

Buhari in a protest letter lodged through the APC Presidential Campaign Organization, APCPCO’s Legal Director, Mr. Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, SAN, insisted that the two television stations must not only retract the “hate documentaries,” but also issue a public apology to him.

He threatened not to hesitate seeking legal remedy should the television houses refuse to comply with the conditions. Buhari revealed that “The hate broadcast was on from Saturday, January 24, 2015 to Sunday, January 25, 2015, at 11pm in AIT.”

The APC candidate asserted that he had already petitioned the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC, and the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, asking them to investigate both NTA and AIT over the hate broadcasts and take necessary punitive actions.

Meanwhile, The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, in its warning to broadcast stations acknowledged the effort broadcasting stations were making in lubricating the nation’s political space, but noted that some stations had been operating outside the provisions of the code in a manner that could become counter-productive to the national objectives of peaceful, free and fair elections.

According to the Director-General of the Commission, Mr. Emeka Mba, who issued the warning said, “We are in exciting times. Political campaigns are underway and the nation is agog with politicians campaigning to persuade the electorate to support them, this is how it should be, that is the beauty of democracy.”

At no time Buhari was against NTA or AIT for constructive criticism. What AIT and NTA did should never be termed as journalism in merit. It should be regarded as "hate documentary."

We can see through your desperation. You and your ilk never thought things would turn out this way . You all thought the peoples General never had a chance. As it is turning out, not only does he have a chance, he is on the way to winning this election.

he shoud rather leave it to the People Court to deliver instant judgement with their PVC. The good LORD will Fight for BUHARI,Victory is certain.SaI BUHARI...........ASO ROCK STRAIGHT

#We can't wait.
I hope when Buhari wins, he will scrap those two useless stations, imagine the shameful pictures and sound quality of the national TVs of the most populous black nation on Earth, now coupled with brainless partisanship makes those stations disgusting.

Sue and scrap them, let's have a replacement.

but those report are real and expository, why she them?

Those are not criticism but outright lies which is a normal thing for losers like the PDP

He should go to court. Buhari will only become the president of Nigeria in his dream.

The same Buhari running to NHRC is the same Buhari who banned all human rights organisations and their activists during his reign. Am sure the NHRC would all be laughing at his fate now.
