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.
