Family and security concerns have necessitate barring the Africa Independent Television, AIT, from covering all activities of the President-elect, Gen. Buhari until issues bordering on ethics and standards against them have been addressed, at least that was the reason given by the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign organization, Shehu Garba – As some AIT crew members were yesterday escorted out of the Defence House, just when Buhari was about to have a meeting with the Cuban and Switzerland ambassadors – The spokesman said:
” 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.Ok!!! I get that AIT aired hate documentary against Buhari during the campaign period, but is this a good thing to do???
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.”
