President Muhammadu Buhari, today spoke on how his campaign was almost hampered by the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA and the African Independent Television, AIT.

Speaking at The Red Media Summit in Lagos, President Buhari represented by media aide, Shehu Garba said, ”Muhammadu Buhari’s goodwill greetings to you is on account of the fact that he won an election that many people think he was not going to win”.

”Americans say that elections are won on the dollar. It’s very improbable that anybody can win an election without money. We didn’t have advertising money on our campaign. Even when we had little money to spend on advertising, the Nigerian Television Authority was not making available to us slots, neither was AIT.

”I remember on a particular night I called NTA, they had 16 slots of one minute adverts and I said I wanted to buy one minute for the Buhari campaign, they said all 16 had been sold. Some other instances that exposed the partisan nature of the NTA. Money was returned to us, from AIT money was returned to us. They simply won’t advertise for us.”
