Not really, you misunderstand. That's a SPONSORED programme. AIT has the rights to air any programme brought to it as far as it doesnt contravene the terms of reference of NBC. So, what Tinubu is doing is actually lame. AIT will NOT reveal the name of the sponsor of that ad, because there is an exisiting Non-Disclosure Agreement between the Broadcast House and the sponsor not to reveal the identity of the client.

Tinubu is only amplifying his corrupt image. He is holding on the straw, and guess what ? It is understandable, he is not as smart as people think he is.

I agree but making it clear that those documentaries were sponsored and reveling the sponsors would have shield him from various litigation,the documentary is full of loopholes half truth and lies,that's fallacy,am not a fan of Tinubu either I think his grip on power in Lagos is too much but I respect his game play in politics.

A former Lagos State governor and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has formally sued African Independent Television (AIT) for the sum of N150 billion over an alleged defamatory documentary being aired on the station.
The decision of Tinubu to sue the station followed the refusal of AIT to meet the conditions set out in a letter by his lawyer Tunji Abayomi, to the broadcast station asking it to stop further airing of the documentary titled “Unmasking The Real Tinubu.”

Mr. Tunji Abayomi, had few days ago written to the Daar Communications, demanding an apology for the contnt of the documentary and further airing by the AIT.

The letter which also demanded for N20billion (Twenty Billion Naira) as cost of damage done to the reputation of its client failing which the client will sue the company, stated that the documentary was pre-occupied with political resentment and hatred neither warranted, necessary, proper, or justified.

But in its response, Daar Communications Plc rejected in their entirety the demands of Tunji Abayomi and co on behalf of Bola Tinubu and instead demanded a complete withdrawal of the letter under reference, which must be given wide publicity as that accorded the letter from the chambers of Tunji Abayomi.

Mike Ozekhome’s chambers on behalf on behalf of DAAR communications declares that AIT, in transmitting the documentary was only carrying out its constitutional responsibility to uphold the fundamental objectives of the constitution.

But not satisfied with the response of Daar Communications, Tinubu’s counsel, Tunji Abayomi proceeded with the filing of a suit demanding for a damage of N150 billion.

Although, details of the suit are still sketchy, Abusidiqu gathered that no less than four senior lawyers, including Wole Olanipekun, Femi Falana and Tunji Abayomi are all line up behind Tinubu to prosecute the case.

Nashoji:
with the kind of comments I have seen here, I wonder how these so called people clamouring for corruption free country wants it to happen.

what I see here is any revelation made against your own affiliated candidate is a propaganda from the opposition party. why can't you guys come down and take a critical look at the documentary to know if there is any atom of truth in it?
you guys think that AIT did not access the documentary before airing it?

with somebody being tried before and not found guilty doesn't automatically turns that person to saint or corruption free. how is this corruption going to be fought if we keep on thinking like this?

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Tinubu no get shame, wasting his time.
"Even if AIT shows d video of tinubu and buhari stealing money, our foolish and brainwashed supporters will still vote for us! Imagine wad apc said abt dem supporters!
Dis shows how foolish apc thugs re, I pity dem and dem generations!"

tonychristopher:



From my deduction i have come to see that majority of folks from south west lack deductive reasoning

Instead of sitting back and have a rethink how they are been used and embarrased they are herr making fool of themselves

Next they will say its igbo


Dont argue with them ...they are sophisticated

tonychristopher:
This is to show how daft and stupid tinubu is

Now let's assume that AIT stops

Will that idiot sue Facebook YouTube and other media that is uploading that


That tinubu should be ashamed


How did Yoruba people allow themselves to be used irrespective of their so called sophistication

Yet I have not seen a single top yoruba condemn it. Are they okay with tinubu ....


The way people act and reason is baffling

Brilliant, Raymond Dokpesi is going too far with his affairs with politics, nothing wrong with owing a TV station and being a politician but you have to let it be neutral to an extent, the documentary has so many loopholes,those lawyers will take him to the cleaners,btw Mike Ozhekome is not that brillant, he is more of an activists than a lawyer.

mrrock:
Nigerians can now see the type of undemocratic people that are clamouring for change and democracy. Intolerant lots like Buhari and Tinubu who have no idea of what democracy represents. If you people are not ready to take the pressure from the media then back-off from this election!. Fools!.
If Jonathan wasn't a true democrat all the TV stations, radio stations in Nigeria including Nairaland.com would have been shut down on defamatory suits.

lilflipnerd:
Ait is shown on daar sat and dstv which are satellite stations .. i bliv many countries view dis station. AIT is simply disgracing Nigerians in the international world. We should b careful what we say about ourselves

gabriel212:
BAT get my approvals for this. I dont c anything wrong in havin a TV Station but you must be cautious of what you air and try to be non sentimental. I and some ppl I know stop watching ait since the -ve remarks on the Peoples General.

Ochiske:

I hope he won't cry foul when he is exposed the more and complainant turns defendant.

Lets see how this wan will end



waiting for when GEJ will sue Sahara reporters and other anti pdp magazines.

komek:


Have u ever listened to TVC and The Nations NewsPapers own by Tinubu? They have never said anything good about this govt and they have been working solely for APC. So take a chilled pill.

As for the Lawyers rePresenting AIT; Ozhekome when it starts we will find out if he is the only Lawyer AIT uses.
