Buhari Restricts AIT From Covering His Activities Till may 29th

The Africa Independent Television (AIT) crew
members were 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.
We gathered that directive was discreetly given
to the correspondent by an official at the
Defence House where the crew had gone to
cover the visit of Cuban ambassador to Buhari.
Speaking on the development, the spokesperson
of the Muhammadu
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.”
