APC releases statement: AIT and other accreditted media houses free to cover Gen.Buhari's events

In what appears to be an attempt at nipping in the board what is clearly a very fatal retaliatory move with grave political consequences especially for a party coming to power for the first time and would most likely want to retain it sometime, the APC. This morning, the APC released a press statement saying, all accredited media houses are free to cover the president elect's events including AIT.

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

”There is a Code of Ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria, and this demands every journalist to ensure a 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 which have wantonly breached the Code of Ethics of the journalism profession and turned themselves to partisans instead of professionals. But such repercussions will not include barring any accredited media organization from covering the activities of the President-elect,” APC said.
