AIT Banned from Covering President-elect, Buhari's Activities.

President-elect, Mohammadu Buhari.

AIT journalists were on Monday denied access to Buhari’s temporary office when they showed up to cover his official engagements.

Buhari's spokesman, Garba Shehu, cited family and security concerns for the decision.

“AIT has been asked to stay 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 standard,” Shehu said.
