Staff of Africa Independent Television, AIT, have been barred
from covering all activities of the President-elect, Gen. Buhari
until issues bordering on ethics and standards against them have been
addressed. AIT crew members were today escorted out of the Defence House where
the president-elect currently resides. He was about to have a meeting
with the Cuban and Switzerland ambassadors when the reporters were escorted out.
Speaking on the development, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign
organization, Shehu Garba said family and security concerns necessitated it.
"AIT has been asked to
step aside based on security and family concerns. In addition, 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. You can quote me that I said that we have asked them to step aside and
that we are resolving the the issues of ethics and standards with them.”he said

He wants to use his office to control the media and the people but it won't work!!! Shame on you!!! Sahara reporters, the Nation's newspaper, LTV etc said worse and did worse things to GEJ, yet he selflessly allowed the tenets of democracy to triumph, he bared the nonsense and false criticisms thrown at him by people like you and sahara reporters, he didn't think of barring them...this Useless illiterate Buhari cannot withstand criticisms, how can he then move this country forward!!!! shame on you Linda, I say shame on you continously because I remember how you continually criticised and blackmailed GEJ with your ill and false news!!!!

AIT Is not in the wrong, it is their duty to tell the truth no matter who is involved. I think Buhari 's action is ANTI-DEMOCRATIC.
I have no words for u..
Guy, u shouldn't hv uploaded your picture naaaaa? Your English is crap? It's not just about swag ooo, swag with brain is the thing!
Lmao!
@anon 8.35am - don't beat yourself too much. That Igbo man is glad and thankful that he dumped your smelly ass!!! Lol!
This is typical Buhari. He can't take criticism. He will lock up people who criticise him. Buhari is a vindictive dictator. He has not changed. I weep for my country!
Habiba think intelligently and don't allow religion and ethnicity cloud your judgement.
Yes ooooo at least he is not d president yet so what he does is still a bit personal till May 29
Dude you are very blind in your argument . I won't even begin to point out the selective blindness here. Please be objective . Even your fellow unbiased Pro Buhari supporters in the media know its wrong . Please stop filling our sights with misguided thoughts
Uhmm,,this serious oo.
Which excellency? Person wey no get work. The person behind that picture is an urchin.
AIT Should start paying salaries yeye organisation na only mouth dem get. shameless management

Freedom of speech not assassination of characters. There's a lot of difference b/w the two. the golden rule of life says do unto others what you will like done unto you. I see this is a corrective measures not dictatorship. To see it as dictatorship is to ask the station to close down. I don't think most of us who are crying foul would have been happy if such documentary so incremental and baseless was carried out on us and our family. It would do Nigerians and our media houses good to confirm a story before they air such. I don't see anything in becoming messiah as some ppl portray gel by having indiscipline media station and ppl.
What was false about the things they said about him? Illiterate
The average Igbo's are rebel by nature... So Buhari should allow AIT after their hate campaign filled with lies and deceits to keep covering his activities so they can keep on selling lies to the masses... Mban no! It is unjor!
Dokpesi... You beta spend that Jonah money Judiciously. Tough days are here for you and your cohorts. Sai Baba!
I write like an idiot, are you one??
The monster is groomed gradually until it cannot be controlled. Boko haram started gradually and cannot be controlled. President elect and he has started banning already. Channels was pro APC and was not banned. He should give them room to criticize him when he goes wrong and starting doing like Jonathan. Soon you will be banned from criticising the government and you will say carry on.
Whatever Buhari does,it will never surpass d economical crashing govt,d looters and thieves from past...are you Nigerian?
U b bastard!
Una Neva see afin yet!!!!!sai Buhari
Una go die!!! Lmao
Ins Neva know,una go die sai buhari
If U call AIT's conduct during the just concluded elections freedom of speech or democratic , and would not accept someone dishing U a hot slap (for no just cause) as 'freedom of expression', then U r a bloody hypocrite. Nobody has the right to hide under freedom or democracy to hurt another person, especially unjustly. Journalism is a profession with standards and ethics,it is an absolute abuse of democracy and freedom of expression for media houses or journalists to hide under such guise to malign or assassinate the character of anyone, for some selfish interests. This is not journalism but 'blackmailism', and is unacceptable in any sane society, otherwise what U have is a doomed democracy.
abeg know ban weed bro
David axelroid, obamas campaign manager is gone and Buhari naturally shows himself because there is no American to teleguide and turn him into a butterfly. Nigerians welcome to 1983
Wonderful things are happening. This is a clear case of differentiating leadership and politics. Buhari should leave the politics to the Tinubus while he leads the Nation right. This is democracy and Military. Buhari must not allow what happened to Jonathan happen to him...bad advise. A hausa proverb says...Ba mugun sarki sai dai mugun bafade (There is no bad king, only bad advisers.).
