African Independent Television, AIT, owner, Raymon Dokpesi, spoke to Premium Times regarding President-elect Buhari Barring AIT from covering his activities. The AIT Boss has the following to say to President-elect Buhari.
“I am sure that the President-elect needs to be reminded of Decree 4, and he should be clearly reminded that section 32 of the constitution makes it mandatory for the media to hold public officials accountable to the people.
“The president-elect said that he does not want to be covered by AIT, but AIT has a responsibility to the Nigerian public to report the things that are happening.
“There are three national networks available for national coverage in Nigeria, the NTA, AIT and Silverbirds. You cannot stop a foremost private station from reporting in Nigeria, it brings us back to Decree 4 era,” he said.
