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.
In a statement issued in Abuja on
Tuesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
party said the incoming Buhari
Administration will not discriminate
against any media organization,
irrespective of its role during the
electioneering campaign leading up to
the recent polls.
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.
