Ghen Ghen!
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
