Africa Independent Television Ban - APC Overrules the President-elect, Buhari.

In the wake of the ban on AIT from covering the activities of the President-elect, the APC has, in a swift move, overruled General Mohammadu Buhari.

The APC said all accredited media organizations, including AIT, are free to cover his activities.

 In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, APC said the incoming Buhari administration will not discriminate against any media organization.

It, however, enjoined all media organizations to observe the highest level of professional standards in carrying out their duties.

The statement said: “There is a code of ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria, and this demands that journalists ensure 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 that have wantonly breached the Code of Ethics of journalism and turned themselves to partisans instead of professionals.”
