It's a long going PDP crisis tolls composition of campaign council neck meetings These are the headlines on the daily son newspaper this morning Okinawan Qatar. It's on Right now. Thank you so much for being part of the breakfast. We appreciate your time What what do you make of the former president's thoughts about having a national interest and no preferred candidate ahead of the 2023 presidential election You all know that Performer president of a senior is a very strong supporter of each of it. Nobody left even if they Analyze the statements Surface analysis National agenda is not a human being National agenda can only be given by human beings And when we talk of national agenda, what is that I want a person that is trying to do Identity what will happen is that we will see the national agenda is talking about can only be driven By Mr. A Therefore, let all the votes whether support and vote for Mr. A Already have a candidate in mind so the issue of There's no prepared candidate I did that contested any election It's not a gender human being That's not a gender is just an ideology. It's not a human being. It's not contested Somebody has to drive it. So who are you supporting to drive it? It's just preparing the minds of the people But you you have you've you've said that He's a strong supporter of Peter will be my next question to you is how is he a strong supporter because he hasn't really come out to say I'm supporting I don't think You know the things you have said about people be He has never really said such things about any other presidential candidate when he extolled the virtues of people But in there has never really extolled it that you know article has been slated by about in there It's a good thing who you all know He has made some unbearable complimentary remarks about you But he has never in any way escalated to me And he has always said that people be asked what it takes to be the president of the country These are insinuations. He's a new angle and people will have to extrapolate for your comments To arrive at the conclusion. The conclusion might be wrong Yes, but the truth is that's why we are human beings our ability to decipher In between the lines at the end of the day, we might be wrong But I for those who know who a passenger is like I said, it's only preparing the past He will tell you that it doesn't have national agenda They will tell you that the person I believe can drive even if it is not to be you already have the candidate There is hardly anybody in this country today that does not know who the person is going to vote for opinions might change But as we speak Everybody knows who that person is a little good for but to know you might for what reason not there for the person has done something That contradicts your principle or something and you might have a change of mind No doubt this thing's happened. I mean Leave our life in dynamics. I will say this A passenger has a mind who will be his candidate You already have the perfect candidate because you are not going to have any presidential new presidential candidate. No new candidate will emerge So you already have this candidate So I think that logically you're right when you say that he has his perfect candidate because everyone should have their perfect candidate But he's not outrightly said who his perfect candidate is And he has also said like I don't say I said we're doing I said we're doing Merci and studio today There are certain things, you know, you have what you call bubble and non bubble communication There are certain things you do and I can extrapolate from your I think about even your face. I can tell if you've eaten or not Now that would be a conjecture I might be wrong and I say she has not eaten. No, are you eating but something else will be stopping you I don't know if you understand what I'm trying to say. So that is it. That's the point. I made it. I we might be right We might be wrong. It's a conjecture. So A lot of us believe that our passenger is given his support to Pitobi No, that's that's the belief. I think if it asks majority of Nigerians They will tell you the numerical majority will tell you that our passenger is a pitobi But he might a passenger is a man that is full of surprises too He might come out tomorrow. A passenger can even come out tomorrow to condemn everybody He's full of surprises, you know But what's been about him is that once he has he gives his support he goes all out. That's what's been about him But as I speak I cannot say a hundred percent to Pitobi Like I keep saying it's a conjecture and a very strong one at that He might change He might at the end of the day, I don't have any respect for him You know about him there is is I mean is that embodiment Of conjecture That's everybody knows All right, let's look at the daily trust newspaper here It talks about the brain drain and the fact that the Niger's doctor Patient ratio is now one is to five thousand prior to this time the wh o had recommended One is to six hundred. So we're looking at one patient being being attended to You know one doctor attending to six hundred patients And now the case that we're faced with is one doctor attending to Five thousand I beg your pardon patients What do you make of this? You know deficiency As frightening as it is Sir, certainly we have the problem. We are at the point That is number one Now let us in and say, okay fine, we don't have the equipment But they could save life Well, I didn't save the life of a being that can be saved But every facet of the economy Every segment Is anemic in this country You talk of Dr. Gano's try For The federal government re-nerging on an agreement is this to the doctors These are patients that save lives They also Have responsibilities Yes, they are the hypocritical They are meant to save life. You matter the circumstance But for you to save life, you also have to save your own life A doctor that is in coma cannot save life A doctor that has lots of problems In fact a doctor whose wife is in coma Is himself a threat to life Because he might not be mentally composed To treat a patient Is a human being and is prone to that human threat A doctor whose child has gotten sent out of school Will be thinking more of how to get that child back to school Than that hospital you're talking about and the patients Is a fundamental of issues Now let's just say They rush a patient to a hospital There is an emergency rush a patient to a hospital And that doctor is supposed to be at best at ease These are hypothetical And a son has to go back to school Is looking for This is a trained man, a professional, a medical doctor You're not talking about him going to school Simply because he's working for the government A son has to go back to school But cannot go back to school because of money Do you think the doctor will go to that hospital Where his salary will be owed and so on And where even the working conditions are frustrating Do you think that doctor will compromise his son's education And go to that hospital How will you know that they'll bring somebody They'll write somebody in an emergency He doesn't have that look for money to send his child back to school So it has to be a fundamental issue Then you have the issue of facilities You don't have to straighten it is messy That you work into that studio And your microphones are not working Or the microphones are glitching They are not working but they are glitching You know how frustrating it could be You know how frustrating You have apologized This morning For talking with You know how frustrating In fact, for you being with me Okunabua is about to come out there I'm not even getting angry I said what is wrong I want to run the class in It's a good thing What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? Okunabua, I feel like you're just putting me on the spot Because like you're about to slaughter me It's okay But I'm sure I'll be the first to protect you No, I know that I know you're cheating I know Well, of course Of course it's a good thing Your apology came out Yes, wonderful Wonderful I shouldn't have said anything less From a lady like you So we call all the people who live But there are ladies and there are ladies Anyway, let's leave that So the point I'm trying to make is When even the working conditions We're not even talking of salaries now When the working condition is poor Dishappening How do you expect the doctor to be doing his best? You see a doctor who is a cardiologist Who has practiced all his life in Nigeria Are you going to compare such a medical practitioner With the one in London, America If they give him one of these I don't know The one that practices in Nigeria That doesn't let them come to this house If they give him one of these Open a bank attire He cannot Let's stay with the issue now The major thing One second The major thing is Financial technology of narration My dear You went to school Your aim is to get a better life Live a better life Enjoy yourself That's why you spend a number of years in school And that also explains the profession You have decided to go into So a doctor who now spends six, seven years As the case may be Depend on the university Come out He will be paid There is accommodation It's not provided for Even when it's provided for It's not where it fits To keep rats and rabbits Everything is cost-effective And he has a better chance out there My dear We all live for greener pastures He's definitely going to live And the federal government is not even butter Now even the Buari himself Have acknowledged this fact That is why he also lives for long though So if Buari can live for long though And most of them they live They get treated by Nigerian doctors And they get paid immediately Not like here They say I pay you to go to When they pay me salary I pay you When they pay me money I keep it up When there are all kinds of students Or when you go to American centers At the conference Which are centers Hospitals in the conference Except the private ones And the private ones And extremely They are very expensive Very expensive And how many private hospitals do we have That will employ all the doctors That have been turned out So there is And even the private hospitals Only the MDs The medical directors enjoy Here it's open It's not about the salaries But how much How much? That's the truth You know A doctor That is two doctors Graduate from university One is earning Less than $500,000 Which is which is catastrophic That Let's just say $500,000 Can you pay a fresh $500,000 No, it's not in Nigeria now Less than $500,000 Is less Adorned When you did exchange rates Is earning close to about $1.5 million With better Conditions of service My days here You have to upon the window This is not America Where you think of You think what you can do for America And now what America can do for you All right Open a bank attack Yeah, exactly that point Yeah Let's move away from that Issue now Because we have other interesting headlines On the pages of a national deal this morning So it's a two in one First this off the This is on the Daily Sun newspaper The crisis in Tunibu's camp As Adamu's men allege You know some sort of neglect That's what it is There's an accusation that the APC candidates Is denying the party chair access To the campaign Council's list That's on the one hand And on the other hand you also have that The PDP and the national working committee Are divided over IU's chair's fate And there's uncertainty I mean we also know You know the issue of his resignation And not resignation But what do you make of this parties now These are leading Parties In our chair No we're talking about We're talking about the fact that We're talking about the issue of Division or I know even now you're starting with I am Are you talking about Adamu? No it's a two in one It's just a one question But of course I just cited two instances Okay double ballot question A double ballot question Okay Yes My concern First and foremost Go ahead First and foremost Adamu should know That There is no sponsorship In our politics in this country In this country There is no opponents That you are an enemy Once you're in a tangent Once I'm a bust to your To your Imagines And eventually a match You are going to be my enemy Because I was opposed to it Even if You don't emerge And you remain your enemy Until you have a mediator That will come in That is suddenly The psychology of our politicians And as far as Sinibu is concerned Adamu Did not want him to emerge And from that point And no problem There are so many politicians That have been victim Sinibu himself Did not even hide it When he turned that That He was going to fight Debt Where a man tells you He is going to fight debt A man at that level I'm not talking about the fact out He is going to fight debt That will tell you the kind of debt Since he is And that's the problem I'm having with Certain comments being made By certain governors Because you assume a particular office And you choose the right word From the word basket You're a role model There are certain things you don't see Because the younger ones Will see nothing wrong in saying that And that is why you have moral decadence In the society In terms of speech In terms of dressing In terms of how you sound And people see nothing wrong with signing And I ask the engineers I say You look at musicians It's like they're uniform When you see Michael Jackson When you saw Michael Jackson in court He was well dressed in his shoes But on stage You want all those whatever beats Are like the women we dress It's like a lawyer going to court In week and downs There's no meaning he's going to go to party In week and downs And I ask him if he lives in an Obama Or a Clinton dressed in such manner I don't digest a bit To buster my points Before I'm making this I don't want you to have known That he is not going to be welcomed In Kinnibu's camp Because Kinnibu believes That Adamu played no role in his emergence That he was on his own team That he emerged And so he's not obligated to work with Adamu Adamu is only there for now Because Kinnibu is not the head of the party The factor head of the party Adamu could be the jury head But Kinnibu is the factor head Adamu is only there as a titular head Leaving all those that will join the Kinnibu's camp Will become like circumcisions in that camp Those that will be fully in control Of their size and activity Are those that they will see Up to the point he emerged Those are going to be his team-time So Adamu should not complain Nevertheless, I'll enjoy Kinnibu That he has to carry everybody along Because what that guy he does now Will tell us what he's going to do If he eventually emerges as the president of this country I don't want to add God forbid I don't want to add that So my concern here is Do you think that with the cracks that's going on And you know the rank or That's going on in the PDP and the APC It might have an implication For them ahead of the 2023 elections If I can also guess If I can deem It is going to have a positive or negative effect On Pito B Because there are just three major If I can deem But that's why I said even a passenger So we keep guessing this context So if we don't come out straight We'll leave us in the realm of conjecture Now the truth about it is that The Pito B's engine is canceled And it masses on the highway If that is what you want to hear Because with or without the cracks In these political parties The Pito B is like a movement right now Yes, it's going to have this particular Heal of challenges But definitely it's like a beautiful lady Quite ambitious Only those that have the mind Will dare to chase And that is what Pito B has done Whether there are cracks or not Pito B remains a force in this trouble Whether there are cracks or not Pito B has the chances of keeping the other candidates at the port Now what the cracks will do Is just to enhance Potentiate Is written But at this point you cannot dismiss the Pito B Talking of the Pito B I think it's just an illicit intercourse Between arrogance and power I cannot comprehend why Anybody will call for the sake of the national channel That's why I said that Illicit intercourse Which is arrogance and power What I say must happen And at this point you maximise the minimum What is the minimum Ego-centricity What is and minimise the maximum What is the maximum Picture the force Have you thought of the effect this is going to have On the chances of the Pito B Should are you be an issue It should not be an issue Even in negotiations and as far as I'm concerned At this point in time it's no big deal It's completely worthless If both sides will tell themselves the truth Because whatever happens there is going to be cosmetic Okay Even if you tell a Kiko today to sign That I will run one time At the expiration of that time I go to Tiki Man If you want to run again What I'm going to do And after that you are going to have to help us Now quickly because we have to Exit that seat Your full ass seat has dropped Look at right now right The full ass seat A lot of them have moved to Tiki Man's side And I think we tell them yes And when I agree I sign one time And let's go to that channel I go to Tiki Man's seat and run again You have pushed you to a point Where there is no longer trust And all I think you do right now Is to If you want to sign this Is to scoop to conquer That's all it did There cannot be any genuine reconciliation out of it Because end goals have been breached So it's either you are fighting at Tiku To relax Or you are subjecting Because if you eventually make this It's like Why are you abusing them at Tiku Abusing them when they don't even know you are Tiku And when you went back what happened You also want to run witnesses to what happened in this country So I tell you that If you tell if there is any reconciliation I'm inventing support at Tiku and he wins So let it If you are not for the you do it He's also a fighter He will deal with you So this is all coming out All this is because you let us It's either you are genuinely reconciling And if it is you are genuinely reconciling At Tiku where they impede That genuineness You will impede it Because of what has happened to us man Okay And you are not going to send me office So he will say he has no need for you That's the truth about it So this is your reconciliation because No If you reconcile to the living interests of at Tiku If today there is no use to God I don't think that you don't let anyone do solution I don't think so first He is elected to remain there for four years But we all of this is going on I mean will this not further divide the party And would he not if You know affects your chances Of winning the election If you are riding It might ride it It might ride you no no no no Where you talk about chances Even if you lose A voter It affects your chance Isn't it No politician wants to lose a voter So no politician will tell you it will not lose It will not loop me my feet No politician will tell you that But the truth about it is messy It's simple We are very lost I mean we are very one Without reverse things Good luck there has been lost with reverse things Now they are going to argue reverse Cannons make us I agree Make us Those donkeys are very reasonable Cannons you are not too sure Who told you that Excuse me But also what happened in us Now Even if you talk of reverse things Maybe PDP lost In two other states In previous elections And one reverse things Who told you that PDP might not win In those two other states And lose Still And lose reverse They just want to show I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say They just want to show So the issue of reverse things Yes It's a deciderado No doubt about that That is important But it is not a must It is not a must And I took it in self And as soon as I made the incident And they made all these comments But being a politician A seasoned politician He doesn't want to hit up the politics And I said no Don't talk Don't talk Don't talk Don't talk Why have you not asked your people Even those from reverse states Who have come to pledge their loyalty Why have you not said No, we are one piece Tell him Go back and reconcile with your God now No He still thinks that Because he wants to get the 5% And he believes they can believe it That's why I'm saying This because the relation The reconciliation is just cosmetic It's just let me try my best If it works fine If it doesn't work fine But I don't see anybody As being indispensable That is his attitude right now And I believe that this issue Of people going to talk There are a lot of people That guarded him But that is why long time He didn't go there He was He was there He was apathetic He was He was He was There are those lecturers Who are not really interested So I don't think It's wise for anybody To talk of conditions right now It's not wise Because the condition is not binding At the end of the day Okay, we'll put it in the right What's wrong? And eventually You're going to the president Then you'll not go to court That we agreed I'm going to start one step And you think that is just This year when they come to listen To such nonsense And if they come to not listen To such nonsense Then where would he go to do? Are you going to now tell Nigeria That look at what he said So next year Election No vote for him They'll let me kick you Because you're no longer enough We don't kick you out You know Nigeria Once a man is in power Everything he does is correct It's next to God Once he's out of power For that thing This was the Lucifer That's the politics of today Of this country All right And So the issue of because He let's all told me As far as I was I'm farcical for now Farcical It is gone beyond redemption And it eventually They reconcile I think no one will be the better for it All right Because I don't see him Genuinely Taking over Integrating Everything After what has happened No, I don't think I don't think Let's take a look at You know Professor Cali Who who dumped The SDP Sometime You know in 2021 In 2022 He moved from the SDP Of course he joined the NN You know the NN PP And now he's set to join the PDP Non-Curture Tongue He said to join the PDP But what do you make of this I mean just as we inch closer One would think that at this point The issue of defection would be You know a thing of the past We're getting But I don't see it I even I told you something I told you When I was discussing There was nothing there is I told you something And even when I was trying to analyze I said We all have candidates right now Except something will make us Change our minds Even you Merci You have a candidate If you don't have a candidate Then it simply means You've also said All those that are contesting I don't see anybody That's not my voice If you don't have that inclination Then you definitely have a candidate That's the truth about We all have our preferences Right now Yes But that does not That is not Castle Stone Because if you go to the election If I find that my candidate Is running mad on the road That has worked for him But what do you make of him I mean his case is very You know Very very How do you even say it now The word is His case is very apt I mean Once upon a time Just within the space of How many months He was in the SDP He left the SDP You know to join the NMP And then from the NMPP He started to join the PDP And he also mentioned The reason why The alliance with the NMPP And that of the Labour Party Did not happen because The NMPP had You know the Labour Party Had come up with some level of Superior party On the table Feeling very superior In terms of the negotiation And that was the reason for it But what do you make of his movement What exactly is he looking for Relevance Political huddle That's what I call it I don't want to use A heart Do you understand what I mean That's not a good word A heart Political huddle No no no It's right It's used anywhere in the world Political huddle That is what I mean is Politicians who prostitutes Politically And Crinch Crinch for that Politicians Who prostitutes politically That's what I say That's what I mean by political huddle Now They do so Precisely For Their own interests Not the interest And no party has an ideology In this country Mercy So nobody should come and talk of ideology And don't grant us courage A member for defecting From one party to the other party Even the president then was Reminded of the party's manifesto He said I was not part of that manifesto I don't need another manifesto On air No party They follow individuals Not ideology Otherwise you can't be moving from one party to the other It's all about interests So definitely our current interest Was not protected in this or that political party So you have to go to a party And that when you have to defect You come up with reasons Don't bother about the reasonableness In the excuses they give Don't bother about that Most of them have specials You must give an excuse You must give an excuse You cannot just get up together In that case you have a mental problem now This money you're in labor Now tomorrow you're in PDP That's all you're in APC Why are you living in a party? I feel like living in a party Then you have a mental problem You have to give an excuse Open up all the time Thank you so much What do you have to give? You now still get a problem Even when there is none You still get one So that that will be an excuse To leave Just to protect your own interests And that is what is happening This is not for any national agenda Not national agenda It's self agenda All right, open up all We have to go now Because we're out of time Thank you so much for making our time Oh, thanks women Thank you, merci All right, we appreciate you always Good morning to you And that's the size of Of the press this morning We take a break And when we return We'll be looking at our first major conversation ride here But before then Let's tell you what happened today in history Being the 29th day in the month of August Please stay with us
