President - Elect Bar AIT from covering his actions

President-elect General Muhammadu Buhari, has
barred the African Independent Television (AIT),
from covering his activities until they sort out
their ethics and standards.
Buhari reportedly gave the order through his
security team, who ordered AIT’s crew out of the
Defence House during the Cuban Ambassador’s
visit.
APC’s Presidential Campaign Organisation
spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, explained in
details the reason for the ban.
“AIT has been asked to stay aside based on
security and family concerns. In addition, Gen
Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve
some issues relating to standard and ethics,” he
said.
“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.”
Shehu however denied that the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA) has been barred along with AIT.
He added: “Yes 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.”
APC and Buhari constantly spoke about AIT’s
‘hate campaign’ against them during his election
campaign.
