The Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC,
General Muhammadu Buhari (ret), has threatened to take legal action against the
Nigerian Television Authority, NTA, and the African Independent Television,
AIT, for airing hate broadcasts against his personality.
This came on a day the National Broadcasting
Commission, NBC, warned all broadcasting stations operating in the country to
adhere strictly to the provisions of the broadcasting code or risk sanctions.
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.
“The hate broadcast has been on from Saturday,
January 24, 2015 to Sunday, January 25, 2015, at 11p.m. in AIT,” Buhari noted.
Meanwhile, The National Broadcasting
Commission, NBC, has warned all broadcasting stations to adhere strictly to the
provisions of the broadcasting code or risk sanctions.
