 Inaik mwazis concerns ahead of Bayelsa, Imo, Kogi elections. Every day in Nigeria, young people who are the marginalized majority turn 18 years old, yet they are not given the opportunity to get voter's card easily. A non-governmental organization is running a project called Register 18 to awaken Inaik to put to action the need for continuous voter education. Along with those headlines, we are going to be looking at off the press to see what headlines made it to the front pages of some of our national dailies. Very good morning to you and thanks for joining us on the breakfast. My name is Nyamgul Aghaji. It's Wednesday morning and we do hope that you are going to have a wonderful time being with us. Wednesday, frenzy, that's what we call it. We do hope that Monday to Tuesday, whatever it goes, you may have encountered. Today you'll loosen them up a little bit and make sure the rest of the week is without any hitches. We're glad that you were able to make it this far this morning and you have joined us. We hope that you'll stay on till the end of the show. We'll go straight to some of the things that are trending on social media and elsewhere. First of all, we're going to be looking at federal government that has filed 20 charges against the Mifili and seeks the withdrawal of firearms charge. Remember that the federal government had charged him for possessing firearms that according to them was illegal. So the federal government has applied to withdraw the illegal possession of firearms charge right now. They charged that it filed against the suspended central bank of Nigeria, CBN Governor Gadwin Mifili at the federal high court in Lagos. Remember Mifili has been going to court with the Bible and all the things that he feels will be helping him in the case. The judge had on July 25 admitted Mifili to a 20 million narrow bill on a two-count charge of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. And ordered his remand at the Kwee Correctional Center pending the fulfillment of his bill conditions. But the Department of State Services, DSS, re-arrested him after a clash with prison officials. On Tuesday, Director of Public Prosecutions, DPP, the Federal Administrator of Justice Mohammed Bakodo Radha, Bakodo Abubaka, told Justice Nikolaas Oweibo that their fresh application followed the result of further investigation. He made his application orally, but Defense Council Joseph Dowdo opposed him, arguing that because the government was in disobedience of the court's order granting Mifili a bill, its application could not be taken. Speaking with journalists after these proceedings, Abubaka said the fresh charges were filed at the Federal Capital Territory High Court. One of the counts accuses Mifili of conferring unlawful advantages. President Tinubu on June 9 had suspended Mifili and ordered an investigation into allegations leveled against him. Tinubu later appointed a special investigator to probe CBN. Amid this probe, the Apex Bank released its audited financial statement which showed that it is owing JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs a combined sum of $7.5 billion as of the financial year ending December 2022. Federal Government dissolves advertising. Okay, well, before we go into the next top trending, we're just wondering the CBN governor must have acted on some orders as well. Even though a lot of people are arguing that he should have known better and even if the president came with some proposals that were not good enough for the economy, he should have been able to stand up to him and say, look, this will not work. We do hear, we also hear that a lot of trillions of Naira were printed in order to make the Naira stable. And so many other allegations or so many other things that have come up out of these audited results that Nigerians are seeing for the first time. And I'm wondering on, a lot of people are wondering why is MFA being called to take the fall and the president is working scot free. Nobody is even saying anything or the former president is working scot free. Is it that the laws of Nigeria do not also hold the president even after office, whatever you do when you are in office, even when you leave it, the laws will not hold you or how is it, how long is the immunity of any serving governor or president. Is it that if you do things, just for purpose of example, if you do criminal things while you are in office and you cannot be prosecuted because you have that immunity, does it mean if you leave office, you still cannot be prosecuted because you did those things when you were in power? These are questions that we need answers to so that we know whether whatever the government or the governor or the president is doing while in office we know that no matter what happens wherever and whenever he cannot be prosecuted. And so people will know what to do at the time that these people are committing these offenses against humanity if that is the case. So we don't know, we're just raising eyebrows, why is the MFLA taking the fall? Is he escape good or they've just started somewhere and they're going to go somewhere else? Because if the MFLA has to take the fall on his own, that means that he did it or acted alone and if he did act alone, let him take the fall. But if he didn't act alone, whoever else was supposed to be involved should be involved. At least ask some questions, let us know why whatever happened happened. Now we've seen what he's being accused of and the problem of owning firearms has been dropped, the charges have been dropped. What about the time he has served in the correctional service, he's been detained there for the firearms charges that have been dropped? Well, I always say I'm not a legal luminary so I may not know some of these things but these are questions that we ask ourselves. Okay, so they suddenly just dropped the charges and they are taking fresh charges. 20 of them right now against the Central Bank of Nigeria governor. Well, we'll look at how that will pan out. We also know that if we say now that all eyes are on the judiciary it may be a crime against the government because we hear that the board in charge of advertising in Nigeria has been dissolved because they approved a signpost which shows or which says that all eyes are on the judiciary because they are looking at the judiciary to see that justice is done in the case of the election 2023 that is in court. Just a number of people, a few people are the ones that are going to decide the fate of Nigeria and so the federal government is saying that they shouldn't have approved that because it does not meet the standards. Well, the federal government has disbanded the secretariat of the advertising standard panel. That's what they call it ASP. The decision is linked to its approval of the billboard title. Like I have said, all eyes on the judiciary. We've seen bugs, we've seen signposts, we've seen buckets and other souvenirs carrying this. It's allegedly blackmailing the presidential election petition tribunal. That's how they put it. And the Director General of the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria, Akon Doctor Olalekon Fadolakbo disclosed the dissolution of the panel in a statement released on Tuesday. Fadolakbo said the council has also suspended its director and deputy director in charge of regulations to allow investigations into the issue while noting that some of the adverts were not approved by the ASP. He said the panel aired in the approval of one of the concepts as the advertisement failed vetting guidelines. So what are these vetting guidelines? We need to know them so that we see how derigotri or how blackmailing this statement, all eyes on the judiciary is. The ASP is the statutory panel on that council charged with the duty of ensuring that advertisements conform to the prevailing laws of the federation as well as the code of advertising ethics of the advertising profession. So clearly according to them this one did not meet those standards. The Akon DG said the council would set up a committee to investigate the circumstances leading to the erroneous, I'm saying that in quote, erroneous approval of one of the concepts of the advert and the breach of the vetting guidelines. The all eyes on the judiciary narrative started as a social media campaign allegedly by the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the person of Peter Obi and the campaigners are alleging plans by the judiciary to favor the incumbent president, Paula Tinobu. So this advert was said to be a no-no for the advertising body. So the people who are supposed to vet or not, they say have erred and because of that they have been dissolved, they have been removed from office because of that. So Nigerians are asking how is it a blackmail? Let us understand how this is a blackmail. So if for instance somebody comes to say all eyes are on the presidency because we want them to do good, we want them to perform better, is that a blackmail on the presidency? If we say all eyes are on the ministers that are going to be inaugurated, is that a blackmail on the ministers? So now we are saying or they are saying or whoever sponsor it is saying, all eyes on the judiciary. How is that a blackmail? It's a question that some people who know what the definition of blackmail is can answer for us or people in government can answer for us how that is a blackmail. And if that is a blackmail, if everything for instance the things that I've mentioned right now, if they are not blackmails then how is that one a blackmail? All eyes on the presidency or all eyes on the president, all eyes on the governor, all eyes on the ministers, all eyes on the senate, is that or are all those ones blackmails? Well, that is what we've heard and so far so good. We are still watching, should I be afraid to say all eyes are on them, we are still watching to see the outcome of all the cases that we are seeing. The judiciary, whether it is said or not, everybody is waiting for the judiciary to make the pronouncements. If the result or if the judgment is in favor of the incumbent, at least the people will know why it is in favor of the incumbent. If it is not in favor, we still should know why it is not in favor of the incumbent because we still have a future, there are people who are going to contest for elections, they should know the booby traps that are involved so that they don't get to be victims of that. So wherever it goes, either ways, we need to know why whatever is happening is happening. And so this is our Nigeria we should be concerned. So everybody is watching and if you ask me, those are the words translated into all eyes on the judiciary. All eyes were on INEC before the election but INEC did what they did and maybe they have a good reason, maybe they don't. But nobody felt too pressured to do what they need to do. Whatever you need to do, if you do it well, there's not going to be any pressure there. But hey, they have their standards. We need to read more on that, we need to find, we need to research more on that. But whatever it is, we still thank God for small measures. We've heard the presidency come out to say that they will stabilize the fuel prices, not thing will make the fuel prices go up. They are going to do everything within their power to stabilize the fuel price. Even though it is a free market right now, the federal government has still said that they are going to stabilize that price of fuel. Stabilize at what point is the question now? Are you stabilizing it at 7.10 or 7.20 that people are saying this price might go to or you're stabilizing it at 500 or 6.10? Where are you stabilizing it? Are you making it stand at 7.00 something or 6.00 something? Where is the stabilization going to come? Are you going to make it cheaper and make it remain that way? Where is it going to happen? The dollar is falling, every day it's falling. Or the Naira Rada is falling against the dollar. We hear that the dollar crashed a little bit and it was selling at 700 and maybe 50 per dollar but is that so much of a crash that Nigeria should be applauding? Shouldn't we be hearing one dollar one Naira as the campaign was in 2014 till now? We're hearing 700 and something and we're clapping that it is good. We shouldn't be clapping. Hey, even though like we heard the former chairman of APC, Adam Soshimole, saying that the president, the present government inherited an economy in shambles. So we're just wondering inherited from who? Inherited from the same APC. We shouldn't be talking about individuals right now. We should be talking about the APC because democracy is such that no matter who is at the head, the party should have the strength enough to hold him accountable, to reign him in and call him to order if he's doing something that is so wrong because there are other people who are in the leadership of the APC. Everybody or anybody who becomes a governor or a president is to spearhead the ideologies of a particular party. So if someone did wrongly, that means that party failed. So now Adam Soshimole coming to say that the economy that was inherited by this government was in shambles. It's just, I don't know, maybe that's an indictment on the party itself because the party produced the president that put the economy in shambles or whatever adjective he used to qualify that. But hey, this is Nigeria. We always hope and pray. We pray that one day Nigeria will be better than it is right now. We'll take a short break when we return. We'll be looking at the newspapers. Some of the newspapers will be looking at having very screaming headlines and we'll hope to treat those screaming headlines when we return. Just stay with us.
