President-Elect,
Muhammadu Buhari
|
Nigeria’s president-elect Muhammadu Buhari, has instructed
all his staff, including the personnel attached directly to him, to steer clear
of all dealings with the media, and leave all media affairs to his official
media team.
In a statement in Abuja
on Wednesday, April 29, by the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC
Presidential Campaign Council, the President-elect aligned himself with the
pronouncement of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC which had
earlier expressed disagreement with the temporary barring of the African
Independent Television (AIT) from covering his activities.
“I would like everyone to
henceforth stay within his/her defined area of responsibility,” Mr. Buhari
said.
The president-elect added
that his media team should be left to continue to deal with their media
colleagues in the best possible way.
According to the
statement, Mr. Buhari was neither consulted nor informed about the AIT barring,
and only became aware of the matter after the public uproar it generated.
“The time of CHANGE has
come,” he said, “and we must avoid making the same mistakes that the outgoing
government made.”
