We Look Forward to a Healthy Relationship With Buhari's Admin -AIT



We Look Forward to a Healthy Relationship With Buhari's Admin -AIT General Muhammadu Buhari
The management of DAAR Communications PLC has reacted to publications in some newspapers and in the social media to the effect that AIT is barred from the coverage of the activities of the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.

In a statement, the management expressed its displeasure by quoting section 22 of the constitution, which says the press, radio, television and other agencies of the mass media shall at all times be free to uphold the responsibility and accountability of the Government to the people.
The management also described as worrisome if security and family concern are used as a justification for censoring AIT or any other media organization from covering and reporting the activities of the President-elect, his incoming administration or any other public officer.
DAAR communications said it was ready to submit itself to security agencies for probe on the allegations. The management further added that it was looking forward to a progressive and healthy relationship with the incoming administration and hope that the rights and freedom of the media shall not be impeded in the discharge of our collective duties and responsibilities.
