The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that all accredited media organizations in the country, including the African Independent Television (AIT), are free to cover the activities of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
It however enjoined all media organizations to observe the highest level of professional standards in carrying out their duties.
”There
is a Code of Ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria, and
this demands every journalist to ensure a strict adherence to the
highest levels of ethics and professionalism in carrying out their
duties.
”There must be repercussions, within
the realms of the law, for media organizations which have wantonly
breached the Code of Ethics of the journalism profession and turned
themselves to partisans instead of professionals. But such repercussions
will not include barring any accredited media organization from
covering the activities of the President-elect,” APC said.

You guys just want to force GMB to born again. My people say, "Anaghi amu aka-ekpe na nka" meaning you don't learn to use the left hand at old age.
Just be prepared, similar cases will keep re-occurring through out his tenure as president.
A Leopard is not a Chameleon.
May God help Nigeria
Good for u that u retraced your steps sharply mr buhari the dictator
So...whom are we to believe? This report or the earlier purported report
Okay o!
medicine after death
Now they have changed mouth! I thought they wanted to take us back to military rule. Bloody clowns!
Why are they scared of the media all of a sudden? They have their freedom and should never be intimidated by any person in power. And if at all, there's a problem, they should seek redress through proper channels and not barring them from
Activities that are of the publics interest. What nonsense
Gud to hear that
I thought they are not smart,this goof is capable of ruining everythn APC have worked for,,Anyway AIT should be on the lookout cos they have jst been profiled they not gonna hav it smooth within this dispensation...Nigerians are watching..
Even the APC members are yet to know the President-Elect as a "Dictator"...Him don start to dey show himself when him never sit down for the seat O!...Let's all watch and see the change they want to bring to us...
good for him

Linda, you wanted to giveway 100,000 naira and 10,750 people responded! this shows the reality of the situataion in Nigeria, people are in real poverty. I also think your give aways do not make real sense to give back rather i think you are using it to generate more traffic for your blog. i have commented severally that you engage in empowering the youth that regularly visit your blog to generate your riches for you through other means such as organizing free business trainings for them, help start up businesses i.e free advert on your blog on specific days for SMEs. Rather you delete my comments, u are probably saving & aiming to buy a private jet. You also seem to be now politically motivated going by your posts. Please use this platform you have now well while u still have it. No worldly system/platform is physically above recession/extinction except spiritually. Word.
Good reasoning.

AIT doesn't deserve accreditation.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
10,750 comments on the giveaway post???? Wow, the hustle is real. Please the incoming administration should do something. A conducive environment should be provided for job creation. Electricity, portable water, good roads, functioning health care systems etc. Nigeria is rich enough for all these and lots more.
This is DEMOCRACY buhari, if u ain't ready to take criticisms get d FUCK out of there!!!! Ure now showing ur true color wen u haven't emerged yet.. devilish man, unforgiving thing, nawaoo. .... mtschew

TAnk God their senses is back
Dem for bann dem completely jare.. Yeye. Nd pls let's all be fair to Linda. She was balanced all thru. Dats why Pro-GEJ pple wld claim she supported GMB nd Pro-GEJ would say otherwise. As for me, I av banned AIT from my eyes. Dey lost my respect.
Bunch of clowns
Nice step...Buhari's media advisers have awoken from their slumber
I thought they were making noise 1 min ago yeye ppl.
the president elect should be properly guided. nigeria of today is not d same with Nigeria of 30 years ago
Na una sabi
No nah!.......
He should bar every institution that criticizes him...... ( Linda Ikeji be warned )
If you don't do well, we will criticize you.....unless as it is in Arab Nation, you bar all social media... Turkey just barred twitter...... No porn in Dubia!
APC and Buhari are BIG FOOLS. APC are just trying to cover Buhari up from what he's truly known for. Buhari is an un-repented evil dictator that will never change. He's said it even during his campaign that he will not allow the media to have press freedom. I'm surprised APC is now talking about ethics and proffessionalism in the mediam I believe all APC members are suffering from amnesia like their president elect Buhari. Have they forgotten so soon the role the media played in promoting their propaganda and lies against GEJ's government. All the fools in APC including Buhari must allow the media to exercise it's press freedom so there will be proper scrutiny of of administration. To HELL with that OLD WICKED HAUSA FOOLISH COW CALLED BUHARI. Once a dictator always a dictator.
IS A PITY THAT AIT WHO WENT GAGA BREAKING ALL MEDIA ETHICS BECAUSE OF MONEY FROM CORRUPT POLITICIANS IS CRYING FOUL TODAY. DARCOM SOLD SHARES TO NIGERIANS FOR OVER 5 YEARS NOW NOT A KOBO HAS BEEN PAID TO US AS DIVIDENDS. GOD WILL SURELY FIGHT FOR US
Thank God u corrected ur miss take apc..am now happy for AIT.nice one.
For d next 4yrs dis will be d norm
GMB sticks foot in mouth APC to d rescue
We have seen what is about to be!!! The decision to crack down on AIT was not about security or what not. After all, if there was a real grieve against AIT, the courts would had better resolved the issue as happened in 2011 when Reuben Abati had to apologize to The General for a write-up he had on Guardian Newspaper. The General sued then. Now, because he has power and also authority The general barks orders. A zebra never ever changes it's spots. So sad that it takes his party APC, by reversing the "order" to remind him that he is no longer a dictator
To all those fools who agreed with Buhari concerning the AIT stuff, u see now that they too have accepted that it was a wrong move. Mumu Gullable follow follow People
THE BIGGEST JOKERS OF THE YEAR. APC, THERE MUST BE CONSEQUENCES!! WHO IS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE MEDIA HOUSES IN NIGERIA. PLEASE, KEEP SWALLOWING YOUR SPIT OUT SALIVAS/VOMITS. JOKERS OF THE CENTURY. WE ARE WATCHING!!!
I dey laugh...
Linda Ikeji, are you now satisfied?
After thought!
Do I smell controversy?
Medicine after death! The dictator has goofed as always. Lobatan.

Change of speech or change of mind?
Thanks Mr lai Muhammed. It's jx a pity that a TV station as old as AIT could be partisan, airing malign documentary which is unprofessional because of money they've got from the government. it's such a shame

A bunch of confused set of people...Mtchewwww
Whatever men!
Y'all get a hold of yourselves! Today u are barring, tomorrow u're unbarring...later u call anoda person "clueless"...who gave d orders to bar in d 1st place? Were the person's brain cells on recess wen he did dat? Or are u pple now saying u never barred AIT in d 1st place? #NoToVindictiveness
#itznenaD
a policy change?thought he banned AIT before.guess they've realized that this is a democracy not militocracy or whatever they have on their mind.
The beauty of democracy is the freedom we enjoy to air our opinions unfettered and for news outlets be it print, TV or online to operate freely without being sensored that I guess we have enjoyed in the past 8yrs or so but to think that with the coming in on the new government we now start hearing of media houses being barred for what ever reasons it's appalling. We take this denial with a pinch of salt and fear what will become of our freedom even these LIB outfit may be in danger let's all start smelling the coffee.
Na wa o! Hmmm no comment
Beta
Dem don change mouth now now now...a dictator is always one. They do things without thinking. Guess he was reminded that this is democracy. Make we dey go first. Dem neva swear am in o!Una neva see something. Change indeed!
Heheheh! And the retreating act begins...
Is this the change we are about to see in this country???
Free your heart of hate.
Let it go
Alright
ethical repercussions for media outlets are not APC's place to enforce or talk about. there are agencies set up by law to look into that. as law abiding citizens APC members should table their grievances before such appropriate authorities, not use use grievances as the 'stick' in a 'carrot and stick approach'. that i what democracy is all about no matter how pained or aggrieved hey may be.
if someone else had done this now, they would be the same ones screaming to highest heavens
already they are sending mixed messages. today, president elect's spokesperson says one thing, tomorrow, APC spokesperson says another.
#is this the change?
AIT should be barred, they are PDPigs. Lets see how much they will make now that we chased out those thieves. Ojo Esin us fun Dokpesi.
Gud one
A dictator that enriches his people or
A weakling that impoverishes his people

Apc beta warn ur son? Befor d wind of change blows him away.with or without him drs gonna be a change.
Keep watching
Remember to wear tinted glasses
For the future is bright
DURING THE CAMPAIGNS INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS TOOK DIFFERENT POSITIONS TO MAKE OUR POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT BETTER AND ENHANCE OUR DEMOCRACY. NOW FOR GENEREAL BUHARI TO SINGLE OUT AIT TO EMPTY HIS VENOM IS SIMPLY DIVERSIONARY. GENERAL BUHARI PROMISED NIGERIANS 'MAGIC' AND 'MAGIC' HE MUST DELIVER TO NIGERIANS. FROM THE 29 0F MAY 2015, HE MUST WORK HIS TALK OR WE TALK HIS WORK.
God bless u anon 11:53,i wz wondering too. Ow can 100k b meant for 5 people yet 10 thousand plus r struggling(comments) for it? Wat is happening in nigeria,y so mch hunger in d land? Another tot wz,y nt channel d 100k evy month 2 empower dem instead of gvng thm d main fish,let them kw ow 2 fish while u r mking gains out of ds ur bisnezz? Cos d more traffic d more money u mk,bt whl mking it mk a change in their lives. Hv u wondered ow some of them spend d money u gv? Some will squander & come bk 2 hustle 4d next give away. Bt I bet it wud b different if dt wz put in sm SME 4 them 2 run. All d same God bless u 4 gving & kip u 4 his glory. Shalom.
APC, just know that Nigerians are not cows, i repeat Nigerian are not cows. Don't forget also that the same way you were voted in you can be voted out.
Presenters, afro hiphop fans and hype mcs residing in Calabar should whatsapp 08071796802 for a big deal.
Wat do u kw,abeg find seat
Linda is js using us 4 traffic evy month dts d secret in it. 100k for 5 ppl bt 10,750 commented wch is d least eva,its alwz 21k ppl & abv
O set! Una never see something! Am just happy the problem will start amongst you. I don't see anything good coming out of this man
Issokay, seen. Linda take note!
Did u go to sch at all?do you understand what democracy is?must u always comment?if Linda can allow ur bias comments on her blog,I see no reason 4 APC disturbing AIT.
The party APC are masters in the use and manipulation of the media...
They know the media's great potential for mischief and evil!!!!
APC exploited that potential the most in the last election...
They know the media through and through and hence would naturally seek to protect themselves from a goblin they'd used to fight GEJ dirty.
I see tension between APC and the media in the next four years...
Buckle your seat belts...Air Buhari is already taxing...
APC. Zombie!
I laugh in German. But wit said the truth. Buhari u just did one out of all the crimes u were accused of. Any nigeria is a zoo so what do u expect. Mad people.
Shame on all of u illiterates, incase u dont know, what they just did is damage control. You lot in Nigeria be following your supporters like robots and zombies. Its a pity that an average nija person cant be sincere and honest and speak up for wat is right and wrong. How can u in a democratic era ban a media house from airing ur activities, who dose that? Incase u dont know, its only someone who has no respect for d law or democracy, a dictator. Everyday i praise God that am no longer in that country cos its really difficult dealing with people who dont know their left from right. Its like people just go to school for d fun of it, they nver use their brain or argue intelligently. Gosh its so sad.
Small boy big mouth.
Small boy with big mouth.
Hahahaha Linda one day we will hear, GMB ban Linda Ikeji blog. Lol
Shame on you...i can accept some stupid comments from some pple on this blog, not you. So an average Nigeria cant argue or reason honestly again without being biased? Are you honestly saying u dont know APC is trying to do damage control here? And y do u think they ar doing dat? Incase u dont know, its because our president elect went out of line. He acted without any respect to democracy and freedom of speech. We should alws rise up and speak for what is right or wrong and stop hiding d truth or following our supporters blindly. We went to school so we will know our left from right, criticise reasonably when the need arises. Dont they teach criticism in Nija schools? If u dont speak up for what is wrong or right, how will our leaders learn and change? If they dont learn and change how will they be able to help u? If u dont want ur private life to be aired to d public, perhaps dont put urself out there by contesting for presidency. Every media house have freedom of speech, if what is written about you is offensive, by all means go to the right channel and seek redress, why act like a dictator? And y'all ar here dancing around the truth.
So true. But bitter
A dictatoe nver enriches his people my dear, a dictator enslaves his people. You choose.
Aboki na aboki
Nigga who unleashed you out of ur cage.....it seems u don't wanna go read ur books and let d elders have dere say

Shut it maam.who said she is not empowering . Even those with a million naira and more can still try their luck .who no like better thing ? And even if it's solely to generate traffic that is part of business. That is why companies market their goods and hold promotions . Please mind your business and stop talking nonsense .
Aren't u stupid? Read ur comment in the first post and read this one. U are just a stupid blind follower. Ur aboki is not available for comment abi? U, aboki d mumu idiot and ogundiran are just stupid mofos
Madam go and learn how to speak English well before coming on a blog to insult people. Unethic station nor ni.
Enriches which people ? Wit reneged lies as promises . You lots are brainwashed
It's a pity, hmmm na sit don dey look I dey !God help us
Nothing good can come out from a dictator. Just like asking life and death choose one.

See here>>> http://showfaze.blogspot.com/2015/04/50-shop-cashiers-wanted-in-nairabet-not.html?m=1
But sha truth b told. AIT aired sm adverts that were not ethical during d election period, there shld be a law to penalize AIT.
@Mr Yemi,Ait violated the ethics and standards of journalism,they had gone too far,they attacked his private life and even said he's the reason his wife and first daughter died,that was too much,they could pledge their allegiance to PDP without being partial..... the reasons the general gave cannot be brushed aside...Security and Family......he's human and he has to be careful......I believe he should let them be newaiz.....
That's not criticism ogbeni. Digging into someone's private life,accusing him of killing his wife and daughter,how is that criticism? TVC had the full backing of APC and they criticised Jonathan's governance(objectively) if u are from a very close knit family,u'll know how it feels.......
All these faceless anonymous ehn! U are a bigger fool!
Awww. Good of him.
Accredited by which authority. So much for freedom of ape peach. Is this the cepircumvention of our individual human rights?
Mr damage control, go and sit down somewhere. First he didn't ban ait, he only barred them from airing any of his activities. Secondly he is still a private individual, he's not the president yet. People are referring to TVC being anti-jonathan, their campaigns were strictly issue-base. How can you say he is the reason his daughter died, and you want him to give them access to cover his activities. I am not supporting him, just saying he has his reasons, and they are quite genuine.
Madam oyindamola, I am surprised at your comment, I use to like your comments but not this one. This is democracy and every body can not and will not be the same. AIT is an entity while Channels is one too. Buhari should know that as a democratic president, he should be ready to hear and see things he won't like but will take it as such.
