President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari may have just
started a revenge mission on the African Independent
Television, AIT as 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.” CLICK HERE TO READ FULL AND TOUCHING NIGERIAN CELEBRITIES BIOGRAPHY AND SCANDALS
