Let's quickly bring in our guest spot in as the kill. Yeah, I talk Thank you so much for joining us and good morning to you, sir Good morning. Always a pleasure to be with you. Okay. I want to you know I'm not sure if we can rope all the insecurity challenges You know in one discussion The of course said president Ahmad La one is saying Nigerians are tired of crying and and stories And this is in a couple of years after, you know, they've been in national assembly And held that position. There's also, you know, on the punch terrorist on the rampage killing 52 in Plateau state and Niger state abducting hunters and all that and there's something also that I found interesting saying Here that's unfair communities panic after bandits give them a one-week automaton for 35 million era levy So I don't know if we can rope all these into one discussion Sadly, yes, we can and and that's first expression is failure of governance and Misunderstanding or lack of understanding or deliberate Misunderstanding of what governance is all about the essence of governance the things that should be done the imperatives of governance I put all this together because The constitution is very very very clear Chapter two section 14 subsection 2b. I could never quote this enough the security and welfare of The people shall be the primary purpose of government if we live in a country where What we have reported on a daily basis is a number of killings and everything and the Senate president The Senate president is coming to tell us Nigerians are tired of hearing the stories. I mean, I mean, how does that sound? Is he expecting me to clap for him? Let me tell you the Senate president is the head of the arm of government responsible one For knowing what is the plight of the people which is representation to making the laws Okay, that's clear lawmaking and three Oversighting the executive to ensure that the laws that they have made are carried out time-nursely and effectively The man that should know how I feel make laws to address it and ensure that the Executive implemented that same man is coming to tell me That the people are tired of hearing stories You know, you just did a two-minute clip of the leader of one of the countries giving you reporting two minutes I don't think that she came to talk about. Oh, how she's been overwhelmed. Oh, she's telling what she's done. I Expect that Mr. Senate president will come and say on account of one two three These are the things that the executive must do We have given them the enabling laws to do those things and we are going to make sure that they do them As a matter of fact, I'm expecting him to come and tell us in the year 2021 We will follow this we did this and as a result this has been achieved a Sitting governor is telling you I was trying to understand, you know, how that the Geology of that statement that to local government He's saying has been or he's Oh, I think he's saying that they are currently still under terrorist control. Yeah No, I think he's he's saying that they still are on the control Well, which I think I tried to unless maybe my eyes were still It says until now to burn no local governments on Means that it is no longer Well, it could be it could be understood it could be understood in certain, you know, two different ways It could also be understood that, you know, even till now No, no till now and until now. Well are two different expressions. Anyway, let's not go into those You know, I went to Is that What the point I'm trying to make is that the Senate president is not the right person to come and tell me that I'm tired I am the one to tell him I'm tired and he should have known that by representation that I pay him for He is the one to come and tell me out of your being tired, which I heard you loud and clear I did this on lawmaking and from the lawmaking. We are over citing in the budgetary provision This is what we did and why do we always think that everything comes down to business contracts Bind to cannot yet. I ask a simple question I'm not a security expert, but at least I can think and Common sense tells me that you take the wind off the sail and then you get the ship to stop or You take the oxygen off the flame and the flame comes down What is the wind of terrorism? What is the oxygen of terrorism? How have you extracted them? How another part of your paper says that you know the soldiers the army, which I feel so sorry for This is a modern age. They take What is coming to play? But you see these people don't think that way. They don't think governors. They are on his contract to cannot judge Nobody knows how much the body for nobody knows whether they were deals or not But they just want to keep appropriating money into you know buying hardware software bad way, but how about The target the young people How have you created? The new new direction vision for them to see a future that is bright a future That is better which they must not jeopardize by getting into the network of the terrorists No, but you have weaponized poverty for your own political gains and these people just want to survive It's natural instinct. So I think that the day we sit down Look, this terrorism can be can be wiped out when you have a Government that comes to think in terms of governance and not of politics right now poverty is needed for politics And as a result poverty must be weaponized Right now the people in government are doing more of politics and not of governance As a co-y I took forward the one time because we're you know time is actually not our friend at this point Let's look at the leadership newspaper Seven months after the federal government leaves ban on Twitter and its operation now two points here Some persons are saying that this has really not achieved anything the ban has not achieved anything entirely You just it just feels like someone was unhappy about a particular action And then they decided to say hey, let's exercise our muscle and you know put out the power play out there And that's what happened and another school of thoughts are saying that this is just the you know We're just closer to the 2023 elections and the government has a need to sell themself You know put up the agenda what have you and that's why they have taken off this ban But would like to show your thoughts on the Twitter ban that has been lifted the essence was Not nationalistic The approach was not ingenious Betty There was a good reason to take that action and They are setting outcomes of that action which should be commended for instance Getting Twitter to pay tax to Nigeria. It's good. I like it Number two getting Twitter to establish an office in Nigeria. No matter how you look at it one of two people will be employed It's good. I like it No, but what have these things have these things been done That's what they told us when the conditions for lifting unless they just you know these people man My it we live in a very interesting country. That's what they told us It is that they've come to enter a deal and Jettison what they told us we're gonna know because I've never lifted the ban I'm expecting that they will tell me this is where Twitter offices and of course You know taxes Like like em ghosts, you know, you just see figures You don't know how they come about but if we lived in a more transparent system we will be able to know the Taxes that have accrued to Nigeria from MTN from Twitter from all these other bodies But even if you use the freedom of information bill to want to look for these things the reason is simple when they are Transparent there'll be a lot of questions and we know that our people are more into negotiating for themselves than negotiating for the nation. So bottom line on the whole matter is that You see sometimes you dig a hole without knowing that you need one to fall on it Because now you think that you need them for you to you know, make your point as the As the this thing is coming Elections, but let me tell you that Many of the people that are in power right now are going to be out of power before election time They're gonna defect So if you're not careful the rope that you tied is going to be used it against you And on the other hand if you think that you can say what you want and Twitter will not say anything If a position says anything, you know be able to start pulling the ropes Nigerians are watching. We're not as dumb as you think they are and at the end of the day They will know that they have inadvertently played into the hands of Nigerians thinking they are smart Oh Let's also talk about something else on the daily independent It says here 2023 presidency Southwest the APC may ostracize or shimba Joe Also, I have nothing against in a book which in bad ways my choice is a king lah There's also a fenifera saying or I had the banjo of a fenifera saying that he will not be supporting Well, I'm a tenable so it's a little bit of back-and-forth in controversy with regards these two persons Bear in mind that the vice president has not in any way stated that he will be running for president You see the politics of the Southwest is a very interesting politics It's it's a point. It's just general politics generally only that they are More I think if I do rate Nigeria generally, I'll say the north is number one The Southwest is number two and probably the south is south-south I don't know how we've come into politics because when you look at 2023 presidency while the e-boats Want to have the presidency? Southwest have seized the narrative and all of a sudden we're talking about Tunibu or she bad job Southwest Southwest and I Can't find some East in the mix and that's because these people have an understanding of how politics is played They've considered saying things in the north, but they've come to say look north. Don't talk too loud Remember how many years you were running around with? You could not do anything. I am the one that was able to fix you there So be careful. So they've been able to put the fear of God in the north and as a result They don't mind that they had eight years of a president of a central You also had eight years of as president and they had a super job eight years as vice president And that during this current dispensation the South East have not had a president They've not had as a vice president But they are coming back and seizing the narrative because the South East is not able to put themselves together They've not had a president. They know how the vice president. They are agitating. They are unhappy, but nobody's hearing them The reason is simple They are political strategy and maturity leaves much to be desired when it comes to trade give it to them They've got it. But when it comes to bureaucracy and you know, politicking the Southwest seems to be better at the game So for me what is going on as far as I'm concerned is a strategy where the narrative is now focused on the Southwest and that Tinnubu Oshiba just think I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a deliberate staging such that the narrative comes to hours, you know, kind of At the back of my mind coming to a set that oh it might go to the Southwest now the narrative is no longer about the Southeast think about it The narrative is Southwest Tinnubu, Oshiba, Oshiba, Oshiba and Oshiba, Tinnubu, Oshiba, Oshiba and everybody is talking about it Well, the state governor has also stated that he would like to run for president No, he's not stating. Even me I can state now that I'm going to run Tell me the media narrative that is talking about Igbo presidency as being the focus of the narrative. No, it's not that You know talking about it's not there Well, I remember also in the build-up to the 2019 elections One of the promises that were made because I was still in Southeast then and one of the promises that were made by the APC You know campaign as was, you know, that's South issue support present momentary. So that Yeah, that is you know the highest, you know opportunity to have so that you can get 2023 Should that come from you? Should that not have been the subtle input to Nigerians to the end that Nigerians reject APC because they are deceitful. There's a way, you know strategy means that there's a way you can diplomatically turn a kind of thinking Narrative you can spin a narrative, especially if you have the fact on your side That particular thing will show you can blackmail APC as you you've got to come clean and show yourself as a man of integrity That not that that pronouncement should have been all over the media Everywhere to the end that these guys would show themselves as either being Insincere or being people of integrity and if they are insincer with nation will know them for that If there are people of integrity they will say yes, we said yes We stand by our word people stand down. It is Southeast, but the South is not pushing that narrative Instead the Southwest is pushing the narrative of two people and at the end of the day, two of them will enter house and say bros You know, I'm your guy. I'm your boy. Send your boy. I'm your guy stay for me And they'll be a family meeting. They will outside and Nigerians would have, you know, subconsciously accepted that it's going to the Southwest So, you know, in other words, you're saying that, you know, the politics is going on in the South is is not I mean Those who have decided to declare their interests are not united. There's no unity. Is that what you're saying? There's no unity. There's no narrative from the Southeast and I feel pain because these guys have extremely intelligent people Look at let me bring out two people a guy like Mohalu Nigerians know about him Who is coming to give him capacity? Look, one man in his state, Anambra State, is richer than the whole state So it's a matter of coming together and they give him, if Mohalu is giving a certain capacity today Nigerians will take him serious for two reasons. Number one, he's had executive, you know, whatever Experience a little bit, you may say. He's had exposure. He is cerebral He is likeable and all those things. Maybe we can he can he and they can give him that can he capacity It's very easy. Number one. Number two, you bring a man like Peter will be his love by the people I'm telling you this because of what he did in Anambra State and at a time like this that Nigeria is in diamond of a man who sits on the job feels for the country thinks about the money of the people And then he said well and he did it eight years as a governor But these guys would rather tell him you cannot be you cannot be cannot be then they bring Umahi in the mix Umahi is relatively new. He run a small economy and he cannot compare a man that has done eight years in Anambra State And has also run as a vice presidential candidate in terms of you know Political pedigree and everything this man just get one two three people push them out But that's not happening and it should be the case I think I feel if he should come to the south as far as I'm concerned my position is different Nigeria needs a messiah to get us off the woods right now But if you must talk in terms of zoning if you must talk in terms of zoning I tend to think that the South East have a better Steak or claim to that seat. Okay But let's just quickly share your thoughts on this one. It's on the leadership 81,000 apply for 10,000 police jobs What do you think about this? I? Think that we see if the police job Nigerians should be made to understand is a setting social service The policing job is one of the most Sensitive Nationalistic services and not job for boys So when you have people Going for the recruitment. They are not they don't understand what policing is in the real sense They understand policing from oh you stand on the road You make a lot of money and this and that is why we are having what we are having today I expect the federal government to set up a setting profiling template for Employment and recruitment into the police to make the police to be very very professional To make the police to be to be service based People we used to join Boy Scouts in those days because we thought it was good if you look abroad some children said they want to be fireman Because they see as service some young people said we want to be nurses We because they want they have this hard to serve That is where the police force comes in But you have people who are coming with a mentality to make money So they are only to go to the road harass people and everything and that is not policing and Nigerians should know better and leaders should know better They should say no like we're going to walk in in nmpc and oil company It's an effect of the of the unemployment, you know across the country. So everyone is trying to get What do you expect when I do what when you have I mean that's a job vacancy, right? No level of unemployment is going to make you to bring people to become doctors. We're not trained Very true But level of unemployment, so you need to pick out setting part of of of the system And create a myth a system about it for the ultimate good of the state While unemployment you go into all that youth enterprise and all that like in akwaibom I was one of those that was in the forefront of akwaibom youth development bill go on that create a template Where entrepreneurs will be brought from the youth side and you train them you give them job You give them capacity that is a template that is general But you say when it comes to the police, it's got to be this you've got to be a graduate They would have enough you've got to have this pedigree of social service They would have enough because they just want 10,000 the people that meets that criteria you can have over 200,000 of them Absolutely As I told you You know, I think you need the hill on the on the on the head when you spoke about You're not going to just recruit doctors because you know people are looking for jobs same thing with pilots They're certain certain jobs that are very very sensitive You know, it cannot be played with played with but out of time Without discussions this morning.
