A former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, has petitioned the National Broadcasting Commission over a documentary ran by the African Independent Television.

Tinubu, in the petition written by his lawyer, Mr. Tunji Abayomi, on Tuesday, described the one-hour documentary entitled “Lion of Bourdilon,” as extremely libelous.

The petition, which directed to the Director-General of NBC, said, “The libelous and injurious documentary ran twice on the Africa Independent Television on Sunday, March 1 and again at 10pm – 11pm on Monday, March 2, 2015. The said libelous documentary, we strongly believe violates the rules and regulations guiding such political adverts particularly during an electioneering year.

The Tinubu petition added that, “The said documentary is offensive, derogatory, unethical, destructive, and politically-motivated to serve the interest of the anonymous ‘sponsor.’

“You may wish to particularly note that although AIT wrote “sponsored” when broadcasting the documentary, it never during or after the broadcast revealed the “sponsors,” an indication that AIT had something to hide.

Demanding that AIT be sanctioned, the petition said Tinubu should not have been attacked because he was not running for any elective post.

“Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not running for any political office warranting undue attention to his life affairs, consequently we wonder the motive of the diligent desire of Africa Independent Television to destroy his achievement and reputation,” the petition said.

In another development, the spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has sued the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed, for N5bn, claiming that the latter defamed him in a publication.

Denying the allegation of substance abuse levelled by Mohammed, Fani-Kayode demanded the retraction of the publication within seven days.

A statement by Fani-Kayode’s lawyer said, “Our client denies in its entirety the content of the publication and the innuendos therein and further states that every allegation against him in the said publication is false and defamatory of his person and character.”

I understand why Tinubu is fighting over this documentary. Anyone familiar with propaganda and perception management will understand that this documentary will cost APC lot of damage both at the National and State level. I have heard lots of people who were supporting Buhari CHANGE their mind after watching the documentary. They have vowed to ensure Agbaje is elected as Lagos State Governor in order to liberate the state from self imposed "Emperor"

Tinubu threatened with 20 billion law suit and now he has petitioned NBC. The documentary really touched a nerve. How are which the documentary can be uploaded online for the world to watch and decides the kind of CHANGE they intend to see in Nigeria.

Is he going to sue NBC too?

here is the video

Every institution is now compromised. Under Jonathan, Patriotism to Nigeria is now lame loyalty to Jonathan and his wife.

Things much Change. Sai Buhari.

FP again

But the video was just telling us the obvious.

My friend, if the Institutions of Government are working, this will not be happening Or do they only function when it is the Oppositions. NBC stopped APC custom ads on Mobile platforms and terminated APC shortcode fund raising. But the same NBC is being silent when a vaile and such politically motivated personal attacks are directed on a man who is not even running for any office. After PDP spent a fortune assassinating the character of Buhari on NTA/AIT and it never worked, they have moved on the attack Tinubu.

My question to you is, will NTA, AIT and NBC allow or accept such politically charged hate campaign to air on their platforms against the person of Jonathan, his wife, family, party and his their associates?

National Broadcasting Commission must step up and do its constitutional responsibilities. They must live above silly partisanship.

Vote Change. Sai Buhari

Buhari cannot ride on the back of corruption personified Tinubu to become CHANGE, honestly na fake CHANGE


sebi I tell you, Mr Buhari is a BAD Market.

Believe me, if these guys ever come into power, nairaland may be closed down. People may be traced to their homes after a facebook post to be intimidated. Zero tolerance for free speech.

You keep writing Buhari's name wrong to associate him with BH, and if someone start writing that of Jonathan wrongly you stat forming in the mouth.

It is only those who have looted Nigeria's money and their agents of corruption that are afraid of Buhari. The fact that fear persists, makes an average Nigerian to want Buhari the more to be president.

Sai Buhari.

Keep your lame Fear Mongering to yourself. Look at APC Primaries and compare it to that of PDP and tell us which more democratic, transparent and people-driven.

The Buhari campaign is a Mass Movement, driven by the Social Media. When Buhari becomes President, Nigeria's local content and image making platforms like Nairaland will get the support they need to project Nigeria ahead.

In case you are still asleep, this is Democracy and Buhari is a man of the People. This wind of Change is Unstoppable. Sai Buhari.

PDP has love to fight dirty..

Why attack the person of Tinubu,when he's not contesting for an elective post.

PDP has gone mad,their stupidity is becoming a nuisance to the public..

Campaign should be based on issues,not paying to gallery in other to score cheap political point..

#NeverAgain for GEJ.

I have decided,GMB forever.
