The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has advised Lagosians to treat any news and information from the African Independent Television (AIT) as false and desperate propaganda by the sinking PDP to remain in power. The party said the desperation of the AIT to lie, slander and fabricate for the PDP is becoming worrisome to Nigerians who know AIT’s shady background and its legendary antics to corruptly gain from the ravaging corruption the PDP has promoted for sixteen years.
In a release in Lagos, signed by the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the AIT, Joe Igbokwe, the party said that AIT has thrown decency and decorum to the dogs in its desperate effort to partake in PDP;s grand looting of hundreds of trillions of Nigeria’s oil wealth. It said that what AIT is doing for the collapsing PDP is akin to what similar organizations did for the military in the days Nigerians struggled against dictatorship and that AIT will go down with the PDP government.
“It would be recalled that lately, AIT has been airing series of wicked, malicious, dangerous and provocative documentaries allegedly sponsored by spurious, unnamed individuals, all aimed at tarnishing the image of the members and leaders of the APC. The station is doing this nefarious activity irrespective of the dangerous consequences these hate propaganda bode for the Nigerian state even after the election.
“We wonder why the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria that has been hounding opposition parties and candidates for expressing their views has turned a blind eye to the dangerous and notorious lies and fabrications that AIT has made its primary business in promoting the interests of a PDP that has wrecked Nigeria in sixteen years. We wonder how a self respecting broadcasting station could allow itself to be employed as a purveyor of blackmail, lies and dangerous slanders against those it feels constitute threats to its source of illicit livelihood. AIT is ruled by illicit crave for blood money that it cares not whether its insidious lies set the country on fire and we warn that the AIT should be held responsible in the event of any violent action that may follow the election. That AIT has turned so desperate in airing damaging and extremely provocative lies and propaganda against the APC because it stands to end the
“It is very obvious that the reason for AIT’s present desperation is because it sees its source of livelihood in doing the biddings of corrupt governments, threatened with the coming of a Buhari presidency. AIT has so shamelessly sold its objectivity to the PDP and as such can do anything, including manufacturing and vending lies against the opponents of the PDP so as to hoodwink Nigerians to continue with a party that has plundered sixteen years of the enormous oil wealth Nigeria has earned living Nigerians poverty stricken and all institutions nearly collapsed. AIT is as desperate as PDP for they know that with the coming of a Buhari presidency, such media stations that depend on illicitly earning their sustenance from corrupt governments. But for AIT, it is fighting a battle of its life for it has, by shamelessly immersing itself as a carrier of the dangerous lies and forgeries the PDP has made the cornerstone of its election campaign after sixteen years in power. It is as if AIT knows that its life span is tied to that of the PDP.
“We urge all Lagosians to not only boycott the vendor of lies and desperate fabrications called AIT but ensure that every information emanating from that compromised station is treated as suspicious because the station is irrevocably committed to sabotaging the present wind of change from a failed and clueless government because of its selfish interests. We warn Nigerians that AIT is representing its corrupt interests in trying to sell the many lies and untruths that now form its primary business and as such Nigerians, especially Lagosians should boycott the station.
“AIT is a platform committed to the sustenance of the corrupt and decayed PDP government and we urge Lagosians to see it as such. It is irrevocably committed to its notorious selfish aggrandizement from the corrupt PDP government and this informs its series of devilish blackmail and hate propaganda against the APC and its leaders. Lagosians and Nigerians should beware: AIT is fully on the side of their oppressors fighting a battle of their lives to stay in power after wrecking Nigeria for sixteen years.
