That's what the federal government is going to say I mean, I'm sure that we had this argument some of the time where you know someone those guests who said You know the federal government had declared We know that the cuts the cut had actually said that the federal government can go ahead You know to declare but this will continue to be a conversation up until we get to that point Anyone expecting anything positive from Buhari this year is wasting his wasting his time This is what a deban joist quoted to say and just before we move away All price heats 80 dollar per barrel as Niger's output such to 1.7 million barrels now.

Kola, well a good morning and thanks for joining us once again. Yeah, good morning once again All right, I think we can start from you know, the one that has You know been the most controversial in the last 24 hours and that's the Lagos state governor and his brief confrontation with The csp at the Magado estate And of course the controversy over what's going on over there mr. Kola Wally All right, I'm not speaking What is happening in Magado all today in Magado? A resident association or the people are proper to care It's a very very big tragedy Which in itself is caused by our headlights Many people will not know That the Magado issue has been going up for the past 35 or 36 years It started during the military era When the military when the military administration in Lagos state Took over the land in Magado and said it was going to be used For the public for public purpose But low and behold After that truck of land was seized Our allies in Lagos state Started sharing the land among themselves And then they converted it to residential estate The civil service in particular When the lands were demarcated Some of them Will take about 10 parcels Develop to And serve the remaining age Like a huge profit From the land they had it had to Show the owners Was going to be used for public purpose And you know under the Nigerian law Under the Nigerian constitution A governor Using the land use act as an instrument Can confiscate or take any land from the owners Compensate them And then Decide to use it for public purpose That was the previous under which the Magado land was taken by the government And then when the people rule on the land Found that the land is not being used for public purpose They went to court And the matter travel as far as the supreme court And the people won at the supreme court Because the land is already occupied The supreme court Or that The legal state government So at least find Not less than Five hundred and i think 94 parcels of land For the indigenous people of Magado So that Their children and great grand children Can also have a place To build their future home And they learn to call their own But Unfortunately The legal state government has not been able To abide by this decision Of the supreme court And what they simply done Is to go to Ikorodu And find land and give some parcels To some of the people in there And then to What in the Yes Okay, so let's also look at You know the real the crux of the matter It was a face off between the governor The class between the You know the Commissioner police or the new idea of police The representative So a lot of people were saying that the governor You know it was a total disrespect So at this point what would have been I mean what do you think the governor should have done Do you think that you know the governor should probably have You know Put out that call before getting there Or do you think it would have been right for the police officer to just obey the governor and move away? I mean this this are some of the issues Under our law The police no matter how big they might be They are free under technical speaking Under the jurisdiction Or subject to The decisions and directives are no doubt Of the governor And if the commissioner or police or the New idea of police as he claims In one of the things he said to the minister That he is the power by law he has the power To go to anywhere he seems fit In lego's unnoticed Without telling them without informing them And take whatever decisions or actions he decides to take Which I don't think is correct It is the governor that you could say Other kind of a power If the governor didn't give him a notice That will retract From what he has gone to do What doesn't mean that the governor could not decide to meet The police and the resident association Without giving them Any long notice It could be because of the emergency situation On gun in maguto That the governor went there to douse the tension You remember the end the early the end sars process He also went to let it to see whether He could quench the fire that was smothering in there The truth of the matter is that What is happening in maguto Is executive recklessness Executive recklessness If our allies hadn't compensated the land That didn't belong to them And that did not use They didn't want to use the public purpose They are willing to have the crisis in maguto today If the commissioner of police in legal states Nigio Jummusu Have shown respect for the people of maguto What we have on ground today in maguto wouldn't be there So we wouldn't have to go there To go and start confronting the the police In a naive manner Whatever others are directing us And we'll look deep to the police Who are on guard in maguto The police are supposed to obey him Recall that under fashola When an army colonel Was driving On the DRC lane And fashola was passing by Fashola immediately stopped his vehicle Accursed the army colonel And they Tried to arrest and reprimand them The colonel didn't confront fashola Neither he was giving a salute And apologizing for his play And because of his apology Fashola pardoned me Said he wouldn't be taking more chances against them That is the way to be Also remember not too long ago A citizen slapped The French president Emmanuel Macron When he was on the campaign trail Nobody shot at that French citizen Macron did not even have His security details to beat him The man was never of handle He was politely arrested and prosecuted in court But because an AIG Of police went to maguto And he wasn't His name wasn't on the list Of people they were expecting In maguto at that period in time Rather than Fashola and Macron They were expecting In maguto at that period in time Rather than the so-called AIG Of police calling his force The party was going to miss I had this issue that the security case Can you please call the security To let me in that I'm your guest He became very arrogant And decided to Budoz his way through And arrest the security men Who were merely carrying out The instruction that were given to them Is that the way to behave It is also a continuation Of the impunity A consideration of this high-handedness A continuation of Kind of What would I describe as Rulership Instead of leadership A continuation of arrogant On the path of people Whom you find in most of the securities Agency that we have in this country today Whether it be CSI Whether it be the army or not And we have to stop that For me The whole list on the right path And it's on the very same ground To have gone to Magudo Not only to pacify The residents of that place But to also give another To the police or withdraw The Magudo Magudo estate Is a private estate The police don't have the power To go in there without another From the court of competent jurisdiction The road leading to that estate May be a public estate That all individuals All the government can travel But if you go to the entry That private estate And carry now Any police actions in there You need a court of competent jurisdiction To be able to do that So let's call a steady stage There has been executive reclassmen See responsibility on the part Of the security people From the past 35 years How we are going to resolve This conundrum Is what I don't know In the interest of time Let's also move on So we can speak on other stories This morning in the papers Let's look at the leadership Newspaper down again Ahead of elections In 2023 state prioritized Capital project in the 2022 Budget but most interesting Is the fact that This project would be Successfully completed And there would be Stabilization Which would be dependent on Federal allocation Does that call for a lot of concern At a time where it feels like Finances are quite shaky Should states constantly be dependent On federal allocation Of the budget Let's just say The tragedy of the Nigerian mission All the effort that we have Made for people To make sure that Internally generated revenue Whether at the local government Level Whether at the state level Whether at the federal level We have never worked We have always dependent On oil from the Niger Delta To finance Whatever programs Activities and projects That we have them to say That we have wanted to To construct in Nigeria Which has nothing to do with Where we are not dependent On the rent coming from oil We have been borrowing A massive amount For the past six or seven years To finance most of this project The tragedy of the whole thing That most of these projects were At the end of the day Inflated Another tragedy is that most of these projects Are never geared Towards allegation The solving of the ordinary people of Nigeria Or giving them infrastructure That will give them value And study They are mostly signature projects For and check They want to build flyover Which nobody Which is very difficult for you to do The quantities of it And no amount is going to cost That is where they make They get huge cost back They want to renovate the stadium They also want to build The ring roads Of maybe about 35 km For billions of Naira And all that When you find a federal government Saying this kind of thing Still that they have not been able to do What they are not there about How would they not be able to achieve it When we have entered an election year The issue of our country has shown That any time we enter an election year Governance is always in a bayon The people, the politicians Never pay attention again To governors All that they are interested in Are they will win the next election Are they will raise the funds Through corruption Through the next election So honestly speaking I think This statement coming from government Is just a way To kind of Give the Nigerian people A kind of false hope That they will still be committed to governance Before the next government Comes into power It has never happened the issue of our country I am not too sure We seem to have lost I mean the lifetime It has shown so much in Competence Corruption Recklessness And the impedances That they are not too good Just like The Not too good again should be expected From this government On to the least power in 2017 Thinking about what to expect From the government now It was of course a news yesterday It says on the Guardian this morning Barely one year to go Buhari appoints economic advisor In the person of Doin Salami Mr. Akola Wale You know is that something That maybe should give hope To Nigeria's economy Honestly speaking That is a very strange appointment For me Like I just told you now In the next year Nobody is going to miss it To any economic advisor And if we see a point An economic advisor What is going to be output to the National Economic Council By the vice president Do you know that the constitution Specifically Gives the vice president The responsibility The powers And where we are To Mr. President The National Economic Council What is going to happen To the constitutional responsibility That the vice president has With regards to the economy What about the other Some of these other people In the economic council that was in there What is going to happen to them Is this alami going to start to pretend Over the activities Without Brushing without classes And means giving The answer is no I have also tried to leave the profile Of Mr. Salamni And his economic top His own blueprint as regards al-Majira Economy should be managed Appears to be in variance With what The present government Has his own economic blueprint So if you appoint a magistrate To come and manage a capitalist Economy I will do a key result I will be able to work to get Accombinately Or if you appoint somebody To come and manage a capitalist Economy How will his wealth service program Dovetail Or go into your own Economy program as a government It doesn't work that way It would appear to me That this appointment Is a fire brigade approach So doubts whatever crisis That they might have in their hands In their hands It could also be That the president has made this appointment In view of what most Nigerians have been saying That what legacy Will President Mohammed Wali be leaving behind When he leaves in 2023 With the Tata method And with the economy As finally set on the hand With the high level of insecurity High level of unemployment Committals in socialization Honestly For me Whether you appoint 10 or 20 salamis To manage this economy for 2023 It's like putting a cut Before the halt And when you put a cut Before the halt You achieve zero result Let's also look at the leadership This might just sound like Especially as we fight against You know insorgency Federal government gets the United States Not to fight bandits With super Tocano jets Let's quickly share your thoughts on that And just recently we hear that 24 persons have been killed In Kaduna state It is ridiculous For me it is not a caring Nail How will we as a nation Try an equipment And it is a seller that will be dictated to you How the equipment is used At the end of the day What this tells us Is that when Nigeria was negotiating For the purchase of that Tocano aircraft They didn't do proper negotiations Such that there were e-bay clauses in there There were clauses To tie the hands of the federal government Or the Nigerian mission To do whatever They want to do With that attack plane I don't see it I am not sure any nation Will enter into that kind of an agreement Besides Nigeria That you will buy a war equipment And the person that sells the equipment To you will not be the one Calling the shots as regards how you use it And how you don't use it The main reason why in the first instance Nigeria went to buy the Tocano attack plane Was to be able to fight all manner of criminality Insurgency and ban the troops In the country But now we are helpless Our hands are tied It is the Americans who sold the plane to us That now call the shots It is a very serious war I think it's mostly because I may be wrong But I think it's mostly because Before you get approved out to buy Certain types of weapons There needs to be clarity that it will be used Against insurgency And insurgency alone Because of the human rights Concerns and civilian casualties That some of these weapons could cause I think that's mostly where Approval is coming from And once again I might be wrong But there's not necessarily The seller giving you a go ahead Before you can use it My brother, I don't think so If I was going to be Because of human rights violations Are we saying that bandits That are then declared as terrorists Keep it also the human rights community Are you Kind of equating them with the lack of Shogurez With the lack of Azenya Jews Or some of these young boys And girls Who organized the MSA surprising The answer is no If Americans were selling this kind of Heloplane to you And they were putting this kind of Conditionalities into it You could as well go to some other Consist of the world But they are not the only ones that sell Attacker planes Trans also Sells very effective Attacker planes Russia as well The truth of the matter is that Americans are really concerned about The so-called human rights That we all talk about all the time In your paper today It's reported in there That more than 44 journalists Have been killed In the last one year in Nigeria When investigating the circumstances And with those journalists were killed Most of them were killed In the course of the performance Of their duties Why is America not raising The death of those journalists Nigeria has become a police state The young people in the southeast Are being shot at In this way They are being attacked with a different Weapon Why is nobody talking about that That it is only we are talking about The use of the two-cannon Is it only two-cannon planes That can be used to kill people Is it only two-cannon planes That is being used to kill In the southeast Look It all depends on negotiation If we have negotiated very well And we are not Kind of Slave or subordinate So the wins and caprices Of the regime in Washington That kind of a closed shooting That has been in the agreement When we were buying the attack Of the two-cannon plane It's not because Of any human rights They came into Nigeria here When one of their citizens Was abducted from the Republic By bandits and drops to Nigeria And then they were asking for answers They came with all the amateurs Of Weapons They came with a ship It was on the land They came with sophisticated I mean attack jets That's a weapon to rescue that person Why weren't they talking about Human rights When they were invading our territory To rescue their own citizens Okay I don't suspect that again Alright Mr. Akola Wale Sadly that's all the time that we have For This discussions this morning And of course our press review Thank you very much for joining us And of course we always enjoy Your directives on issues We wish you a great day Thank you Stay with us We'll take a short break And when we come back
