Punch newspaper just reported
Security advisers of the President-Elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on Monday barred the television crew of the African Independent Television from covering the activities of their principal until further notice.   

It was gathered that the security team cited adverse security reports and ethical issues as reasons for their action.

Members of the AIT crew, who were at Defence House, venue of a meeting between the President-elect and a visiting Cuban delegation, led by its Ambassador to Nigeria, were asked to leave the vicinity until further notice.

The crew, who did not speak on record, insisted they would remain and continue to do their jobs because they had yet to be “formally informed.”

“Yes, we were told but we cannot just leave; we have a job to do. In any case, we have not been officially informed about what we have done wrong,” one of them said.

Director of Press of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, confirmed the development.

He said concerns over security and the need to sort out some ethical issues were responsible for the action.

Shehu said, “AIT has been asked to stay aside based on security and family concerns. In addition, General Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve some issues relating to issues of standard and ethics.

“We will be talking with them to try and resolve the matter but for now, the station has been asked to stay aside because, like I said, there are some family and security concerns.

“They have been asked to step down their coverage until we resolve the matter with them on ethics and standards.”

That's not cool at all.. Revenge 101

Make AIT feel the act of hate small

GEJ is not my hero,Fayose is not my role model

Ait threw all ethics to the wind during the presidential campaign. They should emulate Channels tv.

I concur....AIT went too far with his Pre election activities, told a lot of pals that dokpesi wld pay for this spomeway after election.

The foolish act to combining business with politics. What you wld never see the likes of Dangote and Adenuga do.

The media and press shld not be an object of politics.! my kudos still goes to the likes of Channels and STV showing good example of how to promote healthy politics unlike AIT

Lets them pay!

[size=15pt]If this is true, then it's very shameful of #babaonechance. Is this the kind of vindictiveness this man is going to exhibit?

PUNCH, Nations, leadership, TVC, LTV, etc were heavily deployed by APC to most times lie shamelessly about GEJ but he kept his cool and allowed them a free hand to operate [/size]

They deserved d treatment they r getting now.

The much dreaded decree 4?

season two coming out soon.....tomorrow, we'll hear another version to this story and probably the true version. Wonder why moderators always rush to push just anything to fp; hp they don't do same with this one.

AIT had done their worse,it is time for pay back,during the campaigns time AIT was acting like say no tomorrow.High thieve Dokpesi will be running from poles to pillars now for forgiveness.

This illiterate now president elect should be schooled on modern realities. He is not just Muhammadu Buhari but soon to be Nigeria's number one public entity hence his activities are for public view and scrutiny especially as it pertains to governance of the nation. Neither Buhari or his overzealous sychophants can bar a media outfit from covering events concerning him or else he backs out now the heat hasn't even been stocked!

Buhari, it is too early to start this. If you belief all they said about you is bad or wrong take them to court and claim damages.
It will teach others lesson. But with this action of yours,you will make AIT more popular,gain sympathy from the populace and make them believed the story about you is true.
You're old enough to do the right thing.

I forsee a ressurrection of political assasination with Buhari in Aso Rock.

Harsh treatment! Baba is only being childish yet. A president can't bar a media house from covering his proceedings

He will soon incur the wrath of international press. He thinks this is a military regime
If you have any issue with any media house go to court. That is civilian rule Mr president elect.
If you are not ready to tolerate the press, then go on and resign before being sworn-in and return your certificate of return.

Hope this Buhadaft won't ban social media because Nigerians are waiting for him.

next stop nairaland
