Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has protested to the Director-General of the
National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) over hate broadcast against
him.
He asked the NBC to probe the fabricated broadcast and take necessary
punitive actions.
Buhari lodged the protest through the Director, Legal APC Presidential
Campaign Council, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume (SAN).
The letter reads in part: "I bring to your attention the fabricated
and hate broadcast by African Independent Television (AIT) against All
Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, His Excellency,
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
"This hate broadcast has been on from Saturday 24th January 2015 to
Sunday 25th January 2015 at 11 pm.
"All-well-meaning Nigerians and persons all over the world are worried
that DAAR Communication Plc could do this evil to Nigerians'
sensibilities by broadcasting fixed and fabricated lies for hate
purposes. The twisting of facts in the broadcast is unprecedented.
"By continuously despairing our youths with: 'General Buhari has
severally failed elections, and so belong to the dark past,' is that
to say perseverance is no longer part of life?
"USA is great today through perseverance. Abraham Lincoln failed
elections for over seven times, yet he became one of the best
presidents USA has had. Nigeria would soon have its turn. The
possibility is with us now. Hate broadcast must be condemned.
"APC and her presidential candidate, Gen. Buhari, are aware that every
life has its past but that past must not be a fabricated one. No
nation can build its future and elect its true leaders on falsehood
and hate broadcast. The broadcast is utter disservice to Nigeria.
"I therefore demand your good office to immediately investigate the
said hate broadcast with a view to taking appropriate punitive steps
against the AIT and its comrades in this unholy act.
At this solemn period of general elections, Nigeria electorate cannot
be treated to this disturbing level of fabricated and hate broadcast."
