All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Muhamadu Buhari
has threatened to file a lawsuit against African Independent Television
(AIT) and Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) for airing what he has
described as “hate broadcasts” against his personality.
Buhari’s threats comes just shortly
after 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,” Vanguard reports.
The presidential candidate’s legal
team is insisting that the two stations must not only retract the “hate
documentaries,” but must also issue a public apology to Buhari, and have
warned that failure to do so would result in swift legal action.
