 After eight years in power, President Mohamed Abu Hari will hand over power to President-elect Ashwa Jupola Tinibu against all odds today at the Eagle Square. What are Nigerians expecting from the incoming 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who garnered 8.8 million votes to emerge in February of this year? The headlines from the national dailies, what are the people talking about, what are the things that are making headlines, of course baby is going to be inauguration, but there are other issues that Nigeria faces and so we'll be looking at the headlines on the press this morning. Good morning to you, welcome to this, a very special week in the life of our country. Good morning, my name is Nyam Gul and happy inauguration to you. This is 29th of May 2023, defining moment in the life of Nigeria. I am Maureen. Well today we'll be taking a look at the campaign promises of the incoming President, Bola Ashwa Jupola. What were those things he promised us? Will he keep them? But most importantly, want to also wait and hear his promises for the next four years. Yeah, we're also aware of the speech that was given by the President Mohamed Abu Hari and there are some key issues within that speech that need X ring and we do hope that when we have a guest in the house he will do justice to all those things that were said and what this administration is expected to do if it gets sworn in today. Hopefully from 10 o'clock there will be that occasion that will will mark the swearing-in of the Assistant President of Nigeria. Yeah, by 8 30, you know, activities, yes. This was expected to have been set as sitting down, but by 10 the swearing-in the parade will take effect and so these are some of the things we'll be taking a look at today. What are your expectations as an Nigerian? How excited are you about today? We do hope that you can call us on this show or send us a message. You can tweet at us social media platforms all are open for you to tweet at us or send us a message via any of them that you are comfortable with Instagram, Twitter, even YouTube, if you can do that as well, but make sure that you interact with us and tell us what your expectations are and let us also put it out there because tell you what, whatever you see, there's someone somewhere who is listening. It is a new beginning for us as a people, a new beginning for Nigerians, a new Nigerian that must work, a Nigerian that must be devoid of the kind of things that we are crying against today. And I'm really really impressed by the fact that all the players like the candidates of the other political parties, especially the aggrieved ones that have gone to court and all that, have given a message to their followers to be peaceful no matter what it is today this occasion must happen but we trust God, we trust the judiciary, we trust everything we should trust to make sure that justice is done. So whether after a few months the president who will be sworn in today is removed or not, Nigeria must continue to exist so we cannot do anything right now to bring Nigeria back to maybe the stone ages and all that so I'm really impressed with what has happened nobody's calling for a protest nobody's calling for any unrest or anything like we see in other countries so I must commend them. Definitely the body language of the opposition has been positive right from after the elections results were announced we saw how that they've been able to tell their supporters to come down and indeed their supporters have shown that maturity in coming down but today is sacrosanct isn't it that's what we've been saying that's what lots of analysts have been saying May 29th inauguration is sacrosanct today a president elect to be sworn in along with his vice president and Bola Akma Tinugo has been known as the godfather in Nigeria's politics hasn't he the Jagaban former president governor of Lagos state former senator of the federal republic he's been a king a kingmaker yeah he's he's someone who has supported candidates to emerge over the years and and according to him it is time for him now to emerge as the king as he said it's in Yoruba Emilokon the Jagaban himself is taking over the seat of office today as Nigeria's number one citizen he and his wife Ulurami Tinugo will be taking over Asorok today Nigerians our expectations are high because of all that we've experienced a disappointment we've experienced in the last eight years with this outgoing administration Nigerians are speaking they are writing they are they are crying and groaning though one of things Nigerians are not excited about one of the things one of the many things is that there is a promise that the incoming government is going to continue from where the outgoing government stopped scary to a lot of people it is a scary thought it is a scary statement it's a scary proposition how do you continue from where this government stopped when we're saying this government has failed us well the government will not agree to that the the outgoing government will not agree to that I read the speech of the outgoing president and he said that he has delivered he keeps saying that there was no apology whatsoever that I may have done wrong in some places and all that it's even if he said some of these things but they were not strong enough people give good will to this president administration no matter what they think they have done people are still aggrieved they should have seen that well well we're going to see a new president today come up a president the only kingmaker in history that we know that wants to become a king and he has to actually become a king but I particularly did not like the statement of the wife okay I'm not comfortable let me not say I didn't like it the the wife of the president elect he's still president elect now he said we do not need Nigeria's money to survive okay well ordinarily it will be the truth because Tinobu is very rich the family is really stinkingly rich even though they may not accept that but the only other time I heard this statement or something close to it was when the wife of the late Sanya Bacha made the statement that no matter what the government does no matter what EFCC does no matter how many cases they lose no matter how much money is taken from them they will never be as poor as someone who we feel is the richest man in Nigeria right now so it scares me when people are so bold to say some of these things no matter how true they may be but like I always say meanings are in people not in words so be careful the kind of words that you are using to address the people because a lot of people might understand those words differently and the percentage that understands it positively maybe maybe less than the one that understands it negatively so we always have to look at these things and that's why we always were proposing before now that people who must speak to the public must engage the services of qualified publicists for qualified people who can tell them what to say and say them rightly well that statement made out of the due to services what you're referring to well that's your opinion on it but she's just being a wife trying to support her husband she knows that there are a decent voices voices that are not in support of her husband she's she's not oblivious of that she knows that there are those who are not I mean four political parties and their candidates are in court with the husband to contest this result some residents of Abuja have gone to court to stop this warning of today the DSS the police they've all come out to raise the alarm that there are plots to truncate this inauguration so she knows that they have enemies in court or people who are not fans of her husband and I think it's she's just being a wife really and trying to explain to those who have doubts you're being nice I'm trying to be balanced she's trying to explain to those who have doubts she's trying to win more votes so to speak for her husband saying don't be afraid we are not here to steal Nigeria's money we have enough because corruption is a thing here Nyamco corruption is a thing we've seen the monumental we've seen how corruption has messed things up in the past eight years 7000 cases wasn't on Friday we're talking about judgment deaths 7000 cases were on corruption alone all right so she's trying to clear the air for the incoming administration trying to alleviate fears you have nothing to worry about with regards to Nigeria's money we're not going to steal it but it doesn't stop at them right the ability of the husband to get a team that will not steal our money is a major thing but Ashuaji has been credited for having the the ability to gather a good team especially during his tenure as governor of Lagos state it's one of those things his his fans have to say about him that Ashuaji was able to or he has the knack to be able to get a good team around him and so I want to see that's one of the things we are waiting to see his ministerial list who are those that is going to peak I hope it's not going to be the usual job for the boys that we saw this in this outgoing administration which is why we can see what's happening with the aviation industry for instance with the outgoing minister for education Adamu Adamu said he didn't have any clue about that ministry yet he was thrown in there Ralph Ariba Shala made the same comment he had no clue about what that ministry was about yet he was thrown in there so we do not want to see a situation where it's just going to be a job for the boys who deliver during elections so these are some of the changes we want to see in this administration as a person I'd also like to see a situation where when a ministerial list is sent to the national assembly they should be sent with portfolios not a situation where you find a lawyer for instance facing the panel as it were and they're asking him questions as a lawyer which should lead to you know people having a peek into what he could do if he became maybe the attorney general or something and then tomorrow you're giving him the ministry of agriculture he didn't answer any question to that regard he didn't know anything about that yes so yeah just take a bow and leave it's so wrong because if someone is coming as an expert in agriculture you want to interrogate him you will interrogate him according to the field that he has come to face okay if they had asked Adamu Adamu for instance questions on education we would have found out there and then that he had no clue so that's another question so let them try to bring ministers or a list of ministers would be ministers according to their fields people who already know these things so that if they're asked asking the questions they will be answering these questions and Nigerians can be able to uh have confidence in them that they are going to do XYZ for instance Kayama was being asked as a lawyer he was asked questions as a lawyer he said he was going to unbundle the judiciary he was going to do this he was going to do that he ended up in a different ministry so everything he had as a vision for the ministry that he hoped he was going to be uh superintendent over they were just thrown in the building and as he was leaving he did say that it was not constitutional to have ministry of uh ministers of state ministers of state he said that I don't know whether he meant that was not constitutional for them not to have things to do or that the ministers for state were not supposed to be uh because he said they were supposed to have functions but they they went on without any functions and it is not constitutional I didn't understand anything before now that's the question so what this administration we want to see marital christian shrine enthroned and nepotism done away with we want to see career politicians sent back to to the fields let them go look for jobs somewhere else this is since are so bad in this country we need people who will hit the ground running who know what they're there to do and what they're supposed to do so it's one of the things we also expect from this government that we won't wait for months six months before we see that list of ministers we want act in fact today after all the president-elect went overseas to cool his brain and then fix that list that's what we were told so we're hoping that he's going to announce at least three key positions today and then in in matter of one or two weeks give us a ministerial list people who are going to especially because there's so much contention it should be done swift enough so that nigerians will know or at least begin to see that this government is serious if that is done then some kind of confidence will return into the people that would be the first step in building confidence not just in those who voted him in but those who have doubts about him and his ability to be in charge of his administration one of the things that he did uh yara do to the people is that he came out and said i know for a fact that the process that brought me to power was flawed but i'm going to do something about it whether as you would you bother akme tino who likes it or not he knows that the process was not as good as nigerians wanted however if he can be humble enough to make nigerians know that he is aware of this and he will do something about it that's another plus for him that uh nigerians will give to him well today we came to work and the roads were free i don't know if it's public holiday or it's because there's a lot of people have gone for the inauguration uh we know that okay a lot of people also say that they i don't want to use the word aguerros but but he's like a godfather to them putting food on their table and being good to them and so maybe a lot of them have traveled to uh abuja to go and uh witness the inauguration i don't know someone who carried me today the driver who carried me today he kept saying happy inauguration happy inauguration may tino musten be good all right well moving forward now to the theme of the day and our theme of the day is the effects of our new beginning on our mindset this is a new beginning what what is it doing to us psychologically you've just expressed it right now the driver that brought you here today it's in a very good mood and saying may this new administration you know do us good yeah and it's something you know he's sad that we we seem to have a history where Nigerians begin to miss previous governments as their successors are exiting we begin to wish uh you begin to say that oh the previous government did us better even though when the new one was coming in we were thinking that that one going was the worst possible and that the next one would do better but then we've seen a situation where it does seem that we remember our past leadership uh past leaders with nostalgia wish they were the ones back in power because the ones that succeeded them did not do much to um to to did not do better than they did matter of fact it would appear that the ones that succeeded them did worse so we're hoping that this incoming administration would break these jinx and change the narrative so that we don't miss our past leaders yeah i just saw a a writer from um Okun Legos that's how we know him oh yes i saw that yeah and he said that something may nothing happened in Nigeria that will make us wish uh we still had Buhari as our president and in short that means we still have our past um administration like you just said so let us like scripture says be positive about today and about tomorrow rather than saying the days of your the days of the past were better let's hope for a Nigeria that will be better uh than what we experienced uh in the past because our future is more uh important to us no matter what we experience if a president is shown in until otherwise stated by the courts or god himself then we should give him the utmost uh support to do what he needs to do sometimes sometimes the lord works in mysterious ways yes and that takes us to the top trending of today the first top trending is protest as irish youth shot down uh radio nigeria uh 99.1 FM Ibado owned by the federal radio corporation of nigeria that's the FRC and that happened on sunday morning in Ibado and also in Lagos here it happened at the police station in Ikeja they also went there to cause some uh disruptions injured some police men as confirmed by the police uh pyro benjamin hunday uh according to these people uh they they they they said they want to establish the fact that the united nations have given approval for european nation to take off i don't understand what that is about yeah it's just sometimes i i always say that uh people who who who wet the ground for this kind of things to happen either once i'm going to blame if you go to the east people don't travel on monday they don't go to the markets on monday even though ipop that started the seat at home has said that is no longer uh there the the law uh they call for seat at home is no longer there but the criminal elements have taken over and so the people who are doing the uroba agitation as it were i wonder why it has to be on the eve of the swearing in of someone of the uroba stock that is going to be president what are you looking for in the you know dua nation uh that you yeah that you cannot get now that your brother your son your father your everything is the number one citizen so i don't know why that happened well the police in lego said they've arrested a couple of them and they're investigating them and from that investigation we'll get to know who are sponsoring this kind of acts they call it an act of terrorism and i i tend to agree because you're you're talking about secession you're talking about if the united nations gave that approval where where is that document when did they do that why did they do that yes so i i don't understand and you understand the implication of going to hijack a radio station right mm-hmm to announce to announce yeah yeah so it's it's really really really it's an act of terrorism right i think so the police are right we are waiting to see the outcome of that investigation well that's our first top trend in our second top trend in is the pohari signs alma jury out of school children commission bill into law that happened on saturday in yungo a lot of last minutes things happening last minutes bills being signed last minutes appointments last minute loans last minute for a government that took eight months six months to let us know who his ministers are or to show that he knew what he wanted to do to be doing these few hours to exit it just raises lots of questions the alma jury's out of school children's commission is expected to provide a multimodal system of education to tackle illiteracy according to them develop skills acquisition and entrepreneurship program prevent youth poverty among other things and he was signed by the president on saturday as the children were marking their children's celebration other bills eight other bills were signed by the the president also but that was a monday last week and so you begin to wonder let's let's clap for the president he did he has done well but you know how is that alma jury bill different from or the law different from what jonathan did um he's credited with the highest number of alma jury schools in our history and i know how many people were fighting him that um children being on the street is a traditional thing in the north so he should stop removing them from the streets uh and leave them there why would he bring alma jury the core not an as we're saying this people who should be talking for their people advocating making sure that their people get an education where the ones that we're seeing he should stop this because that is part of their culture so taking their culture from them is a bad thing so i don't know what the difference is between this law and what jonathan did why yes why didn't he just threaten yeah why didn't just he just strengthen that which jonathan did and all that but well they say when you're about to die it is not the things you have done that you regret is the things that you left undone so in his um uh let me let me know you're dying this in his 11th hour maybe a lot of things are coming to him revelations of things that he should have done and he didn't do and he's doing them as a final thing we'll still comment him government is a continuum so let's just hope that the next administration will will not come and rubbish everything that he has done uh but build on the good ones and then discard the ones that are not good enough well it is same party the all progressive congress um and um he has said he's going to build on what the outgoing president has done so we we we are our fingers crossed our fingers crossed we have full of excitement and expectations this morning this day 29 may 2023 as history is being made in our country with the swearing in of the president-elect ashwajibala Ahmed today at ego square in abuja we'll take a break now to give you the weather report it is a mindset monday edition of the breakfast on plus tb africa stay with us
