Garba Shehu or Buhari? Who is Nigeria's President-elect?

The first critical assignment undertaken by yet-to-be-sworn in Muhhammadu Buhari's administration was to place a ban on one of Nigeria's leading private television station, the Africa Independent Television (AIT). This was seen by experts as the first step to clamp down on press freedom and free speech. AIT ran several anti Buhari documentaries, which factually exposed all the atrocities committed by his military regime in the early 1980s.

Buhari has a record of cracking down on the media, even jailing journalists during his days as military Head of State from 1984 to 1985.
