Buhari bars AIT from covering his activities

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
