NTA And AIT in trouble with Buhari

bugh
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
He made this warning after the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, warned all broadcasting stations operating in the country.
In a protest letter lodged through the Legal Director of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, SAN, Buhari, insisted that the two television stations must not only retract the “hate documentaries,” but also issue a public apology to him.
He said he would not hesitate to seek legal remedy should the television houses refuse to comply with the conditions.

Besides, the APC candidate said he had already petitioned the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission, NBC, and the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, asking them to investigate both NTA and AIT over the hate broadcasts and take necessary punitive actions.
Meanwhile, The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has warned all broadcasting stations to adhere strictly to the provisions of the broadcasting risk sanctions.
The Director-General of the Commission, Mr. Emeka Mba, who issued the warning, said the Commission acknowledged the effort of broadcasting stations were making in lubricating the nation’s political space, but noted that some stations had been operating outside the provisions of the code in a manner that could become counter-productive to the national objectives of peaceful, free and fair elections.
he said
 “We are in exciting times. Political campaigns are under way and the nation is agog with politicians campaigning to persuade the electorate to support them, this is how it should, that is the beauty of democracy,”
Meanwhile latest reports say that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has pulled out of a presidential debate organised by CHANNELS TV.
Making the disclosure moments ago during Monday’s edition of Channels’ TV Sunrise Daily was the director of media and communication of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Dele Alake
