AIT Received N10 Billion For Damaging Documentaries On Opposition Leaders Yemi Osinbajo Is Its Next Target

African Independent Television (AIT) owners received N10 billion to produce and air negative documentaries on leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), a SaharaReporters investigation shows.

Raymond Dokpesi
SaharaReporters learnt that the Minister for Petroleum Affairs, Diezani Allison-Madueke is bankrolling the documentary while the scripts and voice overs are being prepared and cut with the help of the Nigeria Television Authority and some Nollywood production companies and working for President Jonathan's re-election.

As a result of the massive deal, AIT, which was in poor financial shape that its principal owner, Raymond Dokpesi, had decided to sell it to the banks to which the station owed several billions of Naira, is now back in good standing. It has also become considerably bolder because of the backing of Mrs. Allison-Madueke and other powerful government officials behind the deal.

Our investigation reveals that AIT receives N5 million each time an episode of any of the documentaries is aired on their channels in different Nigerian markets.

Apart from the cost of producing and airing the documentaries, SaharaReporters found that a team of high-priced lawyers has also been mobilized with about N3 billion to handle any legal threats that may arise from the documentaries. Just last week, APC chieftain Bola Tinubu sued AIT over the documentary on him.

SaharaReporters learned that the next in the series will focus on the Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

Our source, who didn't want to reveal the content, said the objective of that show will be to “destroy” Prof. Osinbajo's position as a strong moral leader in the Christian community.

"The idea is to make the Christians who have left Jonathan because of Osinbajo's entry into the Presidential race to have a rethink," our source stated.

“The PDP is still failing the basic mathematics,” a political analyst told SaharaReporters. “They can squander all of the money in the Central Bank trying to damage the reputation of everyone in the opposition, but how does that provide a cover for the ineptitude and corruption of the Goodluck Jonathan government? Does that explain why Nigeria is far worse than they found it? That is the question Nigerians will be answering when they go to the polls in three weeks.”

let them empty the CBN to produce documentaries, we know it's not for the benefit of Nigerians, but to 'damage' their opponents.
Nigerians are wiser now.
24 states are conveniently in the bag now for Buhari/Osibanjo with another 3 most likely, that is 27 states for GMB.
God keep us, Nigerians will witness many 'first' this year.

N10b is mouth watering. What is the worth of DAAR communications itself?

N10b would have gone a long way in developing this nation. But lo, the government is a wasteful and corrupt one.

They'll rather bribe their way through because of their belief.

Jonathan will need to contact Dieziani for more dollars on this one. Whichever way, nothing will stop him from going back to Otuoke by May.

It's a pity the distorted facts have been engineered to suit political gains.
What good is the documentary that was sponsored with taxpayers money only to continue enriching themselves at the expense of the masses.

Whether AIT were paid or not is irrelevant. AIT is a business organization not a Charity company. Are the facts raised in the documentary true or false? That should be the main bone of contention. Instead of Tinubu to come up with with facts and figures to defend himself, he's busy sponsoring cooked up stories.
