APC and Buahri on collision course over media clampdown: AIT is free to cover Buhari's activities - APC overules 'democratic' dictator

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and General Muhammadu Buhari are on a collision course over his determination to clampdown on opposing voices and press freedom. The Biafran reported earlier that Buhari has barred  the African Independent Television (AIT) from covering his activities. However, reacting to incident the APC has said that all accredited media organizations in the country, including the AIT, are free to cover the activities of the President-elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. 

This is the first time the party is openly contradicting Buhari, who rode into power based on the freedom President Goodluck Jonathan granted the press and the masses to criticize his government.

Clampdown on Freedom of Information: Buhari begin to stifle the Media begining with AIT

Alas! The leopard never changes its spots!! Nigeria's President-elect, General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd.), has began to stifle opposing media. This is the beginning of the expected crackdown on Freedom of Information, which Buhari is specially known for.

Buhari has ostentatiously started a revenge mission on the country's largest private television network, Africa Independent Television (AIT). Yesterday, the security men attached to him barred the station’s correspondent, Tinabeso Bebei, from covering Buhari’s functions.
