The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said
that all accredited media organizations in the
country, including the African Independent
Television (AIT), are free to cover the activities
of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said the incoming Buhari
Administration will not discriminate against any
media organization, irrespective of its role during
the electioneering campaign leading up to the
recent polls.
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.
