Always a pleasure. All right. Fantastic. We will start looking at the headlines with the leadership newspaper this morning. The big one there with the kicker rising into insecurity. The headline reads, frightened senators tell PMB to sit up or face impeachment. There's details on page four of the leadership. Now, the writers to that headline give presidents six weeks to end insecurity. It's been later attempted by lawmakers. Pandev is a Pan-Nazio Delta forum and as well as CSO saying that we're working to bring the situation under control FG. Lawmakers action just bravado call for anarchy presidency. And Nassarour government shuts schools over security threats. That's the big one on the leadership. Now, the top of that front page, Commonwealth Games begins today. Moussa, Brume to defend crowns.

We have Nara Falls, so to 710, as speculators spike demand. Goundboat kills four policemen, two pipeline surveillance workers in Bahia, also stated headlines on the front page of the leadership.

There are the stories as covered by other newspapers as well. Let's welcome at this point our guest unless architect thank you very much for joining us. Let's start with one that I think you know we'll have to thank God that it's coinciding with your your appearance today on the program. This is coming on the front page of the leadership this morning. I hope this is not who we think it is. Is this who we think it is? He's not the son of President Buhari please and he's not even from state he's from Niger state and one of the most exciting young people that I've come in contact with and one of those people that have a lot of respect for me. I happen to know him very very personally and I did put a call across to him and I must commend Mr. Kachiku for wanting to put governance above what some people may target political expediency. It is on account of what it could expediency how to win a ticket that somebody does not mind running a Muslim Muslim because it's like I've got to win I've got to win I've got to win you know but when you talk in terms of leadership and governance you look for people that would add value substantial value to your government. So I did put a call across to Buhari and we spoke at length and several other presidential candidates several at least three that I know of and major some major had approached him and he said no you know that he was and he just told me digi because he's from from you I'll have a chat and just less than an hour chat between himself and Mr. Kachiku there was the unanimity of purpose essence of taking public office there was that agreement there was that it was their spirits just jailed and like the Bible says two cannot work together except they be agreed they had a clear focus on what the nation is all about where the nation is ready and how the team that should be the nation should be and today I'm very happy that the two of them have agreed to work on the rescue mission which incidentally is a byline of ADC I think that you know what's going on now Nigerians don't know that we have six months of campaign I think that these major parties are going to be in for a rough short and as we talk along the line I will obey exactly what is going on and Nigerians must put their eyes on the ball. Some would say for the all African Democratic Congress since Kingsley Mugalu failed to secure the presidential ticket of the party the party has lost steam aware that the number of for your BOT members I know of one from Lagos State have left the party also some members of the party at least I know in Lagos State where we are have left the party now you're the governorship candidate of the ADC in Acrebum State and a key member of that party would you agree with this view that the party has lost steam since Mugalu took a bow and left? Winning an election is about one vote any party that loses one vote should be won and Professor Kingsley Mugalu is not one vote it has a lot of people that are with him so losing he hurt me particularly because I brought him into ADC I also brought Mr. Kachiku I also brought Mr. Moye you know so losing him is a blow to the party I could never did means that with the wave of their hand I won't even also people will definitely lose respect for me but believe that as it may I have wished and I continue to wish that he will make everything Mr. Moye is back in the party but Mr. Kachiku is back in the party you must allow him to go through I mean he's worked a lot he really really saw it as something that was within his hold so sleeping is not something you expect him to just oh it doesn't matter because he was intent he meant every word of what he was trying to do okay but one person win the ticket and what we are doing friends like us are very strategically looking for openings time because I mean is everything and I know that means well for ADC on the two ideologies of ADC he agreed with the ideologies of ADC which is why he wanted to come to ADC in the first place because a very principled person we must allow him that latitude to go through this phase and pray for him and I believe that I'm strongly believe that somewhere along the line he'll be back but that said he is a man that this country not just ADC this country cannot dismiss with the wave of their hand all right all right let's move on and to the next paper thanks for that of course you've said it all you can't expect a man not to move with his crowd and we look forward to seeing a keenly contested you know presidential keen presidential campaign let me just hit it on the last note a lot of the people that left understandably are back the likes of break is break with by and they've done god do me because they are still on it they are doing a wonderful job ADC is not just a party it's a family and when people are grieving some people are hurt you understand and you must understand that and if they took an action you should be kind enough to understand what's happened but a lot of them I can tell you for free I'm a DOT member or yes I can tell you they are coming back you know quietly silently nicely and they are seeing that ADC is actually what they thought it is that's a party with a difference we're not just a part we're a family and that makes all the difference all right all right thank you for that and of course we know we'll always get the best information from you it's always a case of hearing from the horse's own mouth whenever you are here and we're grateful for that let's move over to the punch this morning you know we see pictures of the mega rally mega protest of the Nigeria Labor Congress on the front page of the punch newspaper this one held at Abuja they had protests all over the country on Tuesday yesterday Wednesday it was it was at Abuja you can see that they were joined by in solidarity by people who are not members of the NLC the likes of she was sunny who himself was a pro-democracy activist back in the day before or he joined a human rights activist before he joined politics on Tuesday we had a family fella that joined them in um in Lagos in Lagos state um so the punch has his headliner has to strike labor continues protests slams politicians again now what I thought you on this they've said them after these two days of of nation-wide protests uh if the federal government does not accede to the demands of asu they ask labor will embark on a national strike and of course this will mean that the country will have to shut down for three days as they want to have it do you think labor's moves will force the hand of the Buhari administration to give asu their nearly one trillion error in cash up front okay I'll say this the theme of my review this morning it won't be largely eyes on the ball eyes on the ball number one I sympathize with asu very strongly because I'm personally involved in in my family we are my father had 24 children I wasn't 23rd but my mother had five children out of the five the the first is the lady she's a professor and I'm the last so being a professor and being the first you can imagine how he touches me personally that she cannot get money and somebody who's worked so hard now has to literally go cap in hand even if I'm the brother but I mean this is somewhere that raised me well I sleep as a payback time but imagine other professors what they have to go through at this time of their life and other let go as well so for me I want to beg the federal government to just please pay these people is unfair number two I want to tell asu that they need to be strategic in their thinking at nationalistic please where is the one trillion error that you are asking for it's not there and I want to call on all well meaning Nigerians to come in and create a round all the things that they are doing between them they are just each person knows that they are playing the ostrich each is lying to the other that's a simple proof but if we have nationalists come to the table they will tell federal government can you just open your account and tell this can you just apologize to them for how long you have lied to them how deceitful you have been to them can you just apologize to them and let them know that you don't have this money and asu we know that this is the right thing to do but think of it this way 100% of the resources of Nigeria I say this authoritatively because the state is like a microcosm of the nation I know a quite one state that is one of the most endowed of all the states in the federal republic of Nigeria the resources that come in the size of the land are pretty compact the fact that the whole a terrain is compact having the best coastline and then being number one in oil and money production and getting being one of the top three in revenue allocation with all that our carbon has running a budget of over 500 billion for the first past almost 15 years annual budget of over 500 billion with all that our carbon has our money cannot effectively address one sector of the economy and I say that with every sense of responsibility as one who's done a lot of research because I want to be a governor that is given by passion and cerebral content and not just by money because of that if we solve asu's problem mystically the medicals will come the housing will come so many other sectors will say okay fine if they can you know make this and get their own let's also go and this country does not have that capacity at all so I want to say that coming back to what I talked about eyes on the ball Nigerians should look number one let people have their salary but in terms of the policies that are sustainable in the next few months of this administration cannot do it okay let us focus our attention on the different parties what they bring the table and let us to set up a major engagement platform to let each of these candidates address what they have in mind to do with the mission relative to what must be available for this grace of the speaker it is here that we're going to start to have ingenious solutions so up to eyes on the ball as soon as you look beyond this government they have nothing to offer and they always tell you one truth they always tell you that they've done their very best that's actually one truth that they take off and they are very best you know how to mark that as let's all right all right interesting all right and let's move on to the nation this morning and the water resources bill has uh or the water bill has generated a lot of controversy public discourse and debate even a threat to the political future of the speaker of the House of Representatives today the papers are telling us that the Nigerian Governors Forum they've spoken and that they have rejected the water resources bill the nation puts it this way governors reject water resources bill what are your thoughts on that they say that this bill is inconsistent with the law you know there's there's a land use act and that land use act in um some years back when madame or conjure a weller was the cme you know minister of finance and cme i i i happen to have the privilege of sharing a robust relationship with her um she believes so much in my professionalism and all those things so in all right it seems to have a network freeze uh is it going to can you hear me please they sound very instructive i i see some post i hope all is well yes yes loud and clear yes can you hear me yes we can please go on can you hear me yes we can please go on i you can hear me okay something they say that was very instructive they say that to change the land use act is almost an impossibility that we should walk around it you know i found that very instructive that we should walk around it because we won't be able to change now the speaker of the house of reps should understand what the land use act is and that this is the oil of every gov they can't assume their life depends on it so even things is going to do something it has to be in it has to be consistent with what is in the constitution the level of inconsistency is to that extent the level of the irrelevance of such a law and this water resources bill needs to be substantially altered the you know the land use act before it is going to be you know actionable and i think that gov knows if at this time the gov knows that all right because i really would like to know what is his real interest in that water water resource bill all right all right thank you very much uh i think is it going to let's um also look at what's happening with the uh the continuous voter registration exercise reason i'm shying away from the stormy session in the senate and the naira is because we're going to be discussing that in depth i guess in a matter of minutes so uh we're here from the daily trust newspaper that uh voters are in a last minute rush i think we are frozen okay okay he cannot hear me uh uh we will try and sort that out um is it going to is it clear now can you hear me can you hear me sir i can hear you oh fantastic yes i can yes i can yes i can all right what i i'm hearing you what i have thoughts on the last made rush to to get registered to vote in the ongoing cvr has captured in the daily trust newspaper um three days to the deadline you think that uh this is enough time for everyone who hasn't gotten registered to do so are we used to waiting to the last minute before we go get registered for things like this because it's been on for some time let me let me say something that uh might shock me because i was almost in for a root shock obviously i've contested twice so i have my pbc i've registered i've more than registered and more than registered and i know what my pbc was supposed to be and curiously something just looked just go take it and keep it again by two days i set my house i couldn't find my pbc i couldn't find it two days back i had to rush to inek because my pbc was missing i don't know how that happened so please let the Nigerians this morning go look away your bvc day go and confirm and re-confirm and when you get it carry it and take it to a special place and lock it there because it's not a place for your driver your one person or the other just somebody you know because of not having some people carry pbc just identification they don't have they steal others because people just say this bvc and they just carry and go so please and some of us can actually be mischievous so please and these are things that some of you that you can do it online especially for a reissue you know to please go and look for your pbc carry it and then keep it separate so that you won't have any problem on election day because as soon as the window is shut and campaigns are open i can tell you for free that we're going to have the most robust most exciting engagements that's going to lead to the sort of revolution that you have never seen before in this country there's something about Nigeria i call it a client nation for god. Nigeria is a country where it works on principles that just defy all postulations so my advice to you is go get your pbc because in the last week before campaign the hurry to go and vote is going to be such that you don't want to hear that you can find your pbc at that time just get your pbc now confirm that is there if you see it go and keep it if it is lost go and sweep and after that beat and go ahead and get reissue try that online if you look at it today you can finish all those processes today and then you know you're waiting to get the full thing and then you're ready for for the show but this issue of always waiting for last minute is not good enough because the crowd is is almost i don't know how inek is going to cope and finally assume election was a time breaker everybody just say wow but now count it was a final nail on the coffin of doubt and as a result people are now and they are now rushing to go and get reissues i feel so sorry when i went to inek around past three four the man had not had his way fast because he was trying to try to eat during the day and he was he was he checked his time you know no time he checked his feet bit you know and he discovered that he had done over eleven thousand steps within inek for the day that means a morning this man didn't because he's in charge of uh you know the voter registration is ahead of that section he was going up and down up and down up and down and he had done over eleven thousand steps that day working within the inek office so i want to really applaud inek for the sacrifice and i pray that god gives them the strength and none of them breaks down to be able to successfully go through this period fantastic fantastic we always know you will do justice if i'm more than justice to to the issues raised in the national dailies and of course you've given us a possible way to start a day with your possible outlook and analysis on forthcoming elections i think it's something that people are looking forward to thank god that that thing prompted you to go look for that inner voice that's still small voice prompted you to go look for your pvc i think you said your prayer that morning um actually go forbid that it be said on the day of voting that you as candidate cannot vote you know what happened to Jonathan will not happen to you and then all right actually thank you for your time we'll see you next week thank you god bless you it's the 28th of july 2022 it's time to look at what happened on this day in history when we come back we look at what the senators have been saying some of them would like to impeach mr president is as possible is as feasible right back
