All accredited media houses, including AIT, can cover President-elect’s events – APC

Press statement from the All Progressives Congress (APC)National Publicity Secretary,Alhaji Lai Mohammed lifts the ban on AIT to cover all activities of the President elect but warns that they should be professional and adhere strictly to the Code of Ethics guiding the practice of journalism in Nigeria in doing so.

”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.
