In a statement issued in
Abuja on Tuesday by the All Progressives Congress’ National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the incoming Buhari
Administration will not discriminate against any media organization,
irrespective of its role during the electioneering campaign leading up to the
recent polls.
It however enjoined all
media organizations to observe the highest level of professional standards in
carrying out their duties.
”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.
