There's Integrity somewhere as CNN Turns down Nigerian Politicians CampaignAdverts

There's Integrity somewhere as CNN Turns down Nigerian Politicians  CampaignAdverts.

Nigeria is gearing up for the 2015 elections, and many are already standing behind

incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, with his PDP initially saying they would 

have no other candidates. On the opposition side, at least three candidates have 

announced their intentions, most notably, former Vice President,Atiku Abubakar.

Such politicking is usually bolstered by advertising on various platforms including local and

global news networks like the CNN. However, it seems CNN may have reportedly removed

themselves from the race for advert fees from Nigerian politicians.

The Cable reports that CNN recently turned down advertising bids from a Nigerian presidential 

aspirant for the upcoming elections in 2015.A consultant for the aspirant stated;

We approached CNN agents in Nigeria to place some adverts for our principal. We sent 

the creatives to them as requested and they returned them, saying they do not run

commercials that are intended tocampaign for votes. We could not believe it.”

Another consultant working for a state governor seeking re-election, said he had a similar

experience with CNN.

I am pleased to hear this.It's nice for these politicians to know not everyone is willing to 

take their dirty money!
