We'll leave this morning illegal practitioner Tunde Kola. We'll leave. Thanks for joining us Okay, so let's head straight to it this morning I mean Dominating the papers is the fact that the federal government as faulted the report of the Panel the leaked report of the panel as well with the white paper What are your thoughts and according to the Minister of Information and information? Communication line. Oh, it describes it as fake news. Let's show your thoughts on that Honestly speaking The statement by the federal government And especially the one that has been made by the information minister Is there the same tool? It is incorrigible It is so very insensitive for the memories of The young people Who lost names and shared their plots who are true including the security people who also lost their lives On the entrance and uprising Which most of it is how to call a person I call it an uprising Why do I say the statement of the minister is incorrigible? I mean it's not I'm saying it because you and I will remember But the complaint Against the security activities Especially against the police Especially until of this course Even starting the year 2020 We started in the year 2017 And if the federal government had their life in place for the people They would have looked at the complaint of Nigeria And addressed those complaints And we would not have heard The uprising that we had in the year 2020 So for you not to be complaining That all the reports that The panel report that has been submitted With fake news It doesn't mean Furthermore you will recollect That the National Human Rights Commission Which is an agency of the federal government Has also written a detailed report On the claim All the horrendous activities Of not just the charge But also the police and the army And make recommendations For certain police officers To be arrested and tried And for some people Who have lost their lives Who have been injured In the hands of the police to be compensated And this report was sent to the Attorney General's interpretation And what did the Attorney General's interpretation do? He nearly wrote that report But there are not enough evidence To prosecute The police officers that were entitled To be convicted And also not enough To compensate those That the National Human Rights Commission Had recommended Commendations should be The page 2 Now in the German case A very particular case Somebody was arrested They just went to court For the enforcement of fundamental human rights And they caught And they made things If she said that the police And she said That he was later invited By the FBI To have him or not With the hospital That they should bring the bodies Of the men arrested By the charge They draw a line To tell The Nigerian police have never been detained Obey that court order Obey that court order Obey that assail What is the kind of panel That was set up by the District Court Most of the people on that panel Are representatives Of the government Of the District Court government The only person out there Is probably O'Dwana That made the whole set up And the meeting later on We drew from the panel When the country was I think A Federal shift or whatever By the government And then she wasn't feeling comfortable again With the panel So who is your own panel If I'm not going to use the panel That was set up Up later by 99.9% Of the only presentation Is coming up with this kind of very Insightly report What is not the basis for you to start Jumping to the conclusion That you are on On fake news That doesn't make sense That looks like just A mayor that's calling the dog a bad name In order to handle it Order Molaim Muhammad also said That the panel Addressed the issue Of the security men that were killed That is not true There is a section of the report That deals with the policemen That were killed Even to the terms of reference The panel Was not for that police Because the police are the way Of dealing with their own issues Of addressing their own problems But still the panel Is going to pass out To address the issue Of the policemen That were killed during the panel Order Molaim Muhammad let me enlighten you Order Especially in our court There are certain things that we call Clerical experts Because when the court is sitting And when the panel is sitting They are provided with the records They are provided with Proofreaders And all manners of secretaries That would at the end of the day Help them tidy up the report Help them clean up the report Before they attended their signatures And won as well In this report Which is clearly in my own opinion You not to blame me All the people in part of the panel Or whatever things The errors that you might see in India Look at what happened The Supreme Court was compiling These Australia's voters of Nigeria In exactly With the name of somebody Who was not supposed to be there Which they later apologised for That was a clerical That does this here Does that invalidate Does it be clear Does it end up negating The list of Senior Advocates That was eventually confirmed The list of people that were eventually giving The Senior Advocates of Nigeria In fact Not in my opinion This to me Is a very strange Very peculiar It's a part of the antecedent Of Mr. Lai Muame Who start Condemning And controlling And making all sorts of inquiries You not to rubbish whatever reports Doesn't cheat Or doesn't meet Not to applaud the federal government For doing the wrong thing They also start to have panicycle inside And very fundamentally All the people Giving information Have evidence To that panel All They are all senior servants The pathologist is a senior servant The socialist are senior servants The police are senior servants The nurses are senior servants Those who work in the military Are senior servants Those who The ambulances that carry And wounded people to the hospital Who try These are people who because of the care Of the not of their job Of the thing I said by the government Were not trained to let sticks In going to that panel Or if they want actually happen Look at the way the pathologist Was speaking at the panel He was speaking from both sides Of his mouth He was asked questions How many pathological examinations Have you carried out He said look I don't go to this city To start picking up dead bodies It is only the body that I give it to me To conduct a post-mortem That I work on That shows you that these people Are handicapped That shows you that the panel from the beginning Is working from a very From the very typical position That all men of the district could have been put On the rest of this panel So as not to be able to get Hard core everything That the panel has the quality To come up In sight of all this To come up with the kind of Reporter we are seeing I think is common too And look at the people on that panel As men of integrity At the interest of the Nigeria youth And act Let's look at other issues Because there are so many issues Because in as much as Let's look at other issues In as much as the legal Is very very important topical But there are other issues that Nigerians Are actually talking about this morning Let's talk about the removal Of fuel subsidy and the federal government Are planning to spend 200 billion nair On palliatives specifically They want to give them 5000 nair grams to about 40 million Nigerians To see the subsidy will hamper Salaries and they are backing The federal government in that light What is your reaction to all of this The person I would ask A very rhetorical question They have printed that money Giving out minus of money To different people and now that Which is more than two to three years They go now Have you seen any people It has more than the amount of people The answer is no The amount of money we give to them Is not enough To solve the problem that these All these poor people Already have on ground They just use them to eat It is not enough to empower them What the bible says is That we should treat a man Out of And now continue to bring So that the dependency syndrome No more attack So you take a token And give it to a man Or a woman Who has a house rent of about 10,000 naira to pay in a month To fill supply 50,000 naira to pay Transportation to Work and come back What difference will that make It will make any money Any difference As we go to the subsidy Even if only That the government that In 2015 Said there was no subsidy on petroleum Or on fuel products in Nigeria To not defend subsidies To defend the kind of Munger subsidies that we have seen them pay When they came into power Even after ironica Even after using that state But I have said it And this is my personal opinion I don't mind that they should You know the subsidy And why do I say I don't mind This is the lie That the Nigerian human lives Have been telling for decades For the inefficiency For the incompetence For the irresponsible day Of governance So after they have removed the subsidy Let us also know Or let us also see What subsidy they are telling Nigeria For the incompetence For the inability to pull to Nigeria An economy That may be the end of the second Top of ruling class That we have taken I foresee a massive uprising That will be a kind of Tice play on what Is suddenly the entire process You say you are subsidized And that is what is weighing you down While you are unable to deliver The dividend of democracy And next is to open the misrepair You see a mongos amount of money That have been stolen This is a paracetam How do you reconcile that Today Cost of project Mr Tunde Kolawale Let us also in the same light of subsidy My question now is If you look at the daily trust You find out that the World Bank is asking Nigeria to end field subsidy In six months And we also have the fact that The IMF that is the International Monetary Fund Has also spoken About the end subsidy So why is it that This financial institution are really interested In what happens in the Nigerian economy In the third world Where IMF and World Bank precision Have ever worked IMF precision and the World Bank precision Working on a product Where there is a productive base Where there are industries Where agriculture is working This is a dependency economy This is an economy that The energy economy An economy that depends on Something in a crude petroleum product And uses the money to report goods and services Is that the economy That goes to the IMF So IMF and World Bank precision All this getting wood Program does not apply to the cost The basis of a resource This can work Because there are no existences in our society There are no existences in Nigeria The insolence is massive So IMF and World Bank precision Of everything applies Go and check Go and check your network The precision is never The precision is never The precision is never The precision is never The precision is never Why are they really interested In what happens in the Nigerian economy Could it be that Because we constantly go To them for funds For resources Could it be the reason We are all in the parties We are all in the program We are all in the World Bank We are all in the Chinese We are all in the Arab We are all in so many countries So many organizations around the world That our government might not be able to Repay So it is not that we are not able to Repay our debt That is why they are making all these restrictions When you are worrying The creditors May have to adjust the situation To impose some Sanctions Or impose some restrictions on you Or impose some guidance To insist that you put your clothes According to the size of your clothes So that you can repair him They are not giving out those restrictions Because they love us Because they want us to repair our economy They are thinking of how we are going to be able to repair them So we have to look That the present government Has been filing us in 2016 Alright Another story that's made headlines On the punch in this paper This morning is the MPA Probe and the punch actually Captions it this way Panel face to quiz Bala Osman six months after Suspension as NPA bus How does that hit here That young ladies So this is a very interesting one I suspect that Our case is that of High wire politics That is being played by the Minister of Transport And the Governor of Cardinal State Malam El Rufay I will remember That the Banat LZ Used to be the chief of And personally I sit down with Malam Rufay at the top And also work with El Rufay When El Rufay was at the Secretary of State I was also recommended For the present job And It all appeared to me That The former governor Is not too sure of her loyalty Is not getting Whatever she expects from her Of the kind of lawyer Of them That should be expected from somebody Heading the paracetam under a Ministry That might be one of the reasons Or that is my suspicion Why the LZ has The present problem But besides that When you look at the way And manner The lady has also been Managing The pretendal and driver manner I give you the example There was a suggestion That because of the Condition In the ports in Lagos That another port should be built in Badagri And another one at the Lagos The woman opposed it very softly She never looked at the Merit of those ports She is only interested in Another port being built in Lagos And not in Papacos And not in river states This is like a repair To protect the interest Of certain sections of the country Is it not impossible? I wrote in Miya Mishimiya I also have seen through that And because of that We have found a way to get the Reef of us Our case is political And I don't see a return To that post And that you remain Minister of Transport Nobody is interested In looking at the Merit or the Merit of our case Of our case is simply And straightforwardly If you permit me to use the word Political Okay Let's move away from that now I look at an issue of security In Niger state Boko Haram forcing parents to Withdraw children from school This is according to the Niger state government And that's on the daily trust New newspaper Now you also have reports saying that 151,380 Villages have been Displaced in 30 communities What do you Make of this? I am not surprised I recollect that When the Boko Haram was started I got in an interview to a new Superhouse And I raised an alarm and said Look, if you enable To defeat Of course the Boko Haram insurgency Within 2,3 years And you allow them To be there for about 10 years The possibility that you never Be able to defeat them Will never be there again Because within the period They would have massacred the terrain They would have also perfected Their supply routes They would have seen the weakness Of the Nigerian security Especially the army And then they would have become Very patriotic And then too The Nigerian army would have Becoming very tired Of Fighting the war For over 10 years That the war is going to be won Furthermore The Boko Haram people too Would have become Emboldened That the journey they have embarked upon Is a doable That is what we have seen today The Boko Haram is becoming more Tacious The city too has become Tired And not beginning to complicate the Boko Haram Because they have seen The Nigerian army That should come to their rescue And show them If the Boko Haram is going to guarantee peace If anything for them Enough space to be able to live In their communities Without the care of living Their lives and lives and others Why not complicate the Boko Haram So what happens to the All over the world That is Gorilla Warfare It is a switching war It is always moving From one theater to the other It is not a sedentary war We don't say boot Any Gorilla army that says boot In one particular place Is not constantly moving With the quickly wiped out So that is how you find out The Boko Haram will be emboldened today Tomorrow is the Niger stage Tomorrow is the photo shoot That is the classical Society Gorilla Okia And she will say That is the strategy and tactics That the Boko Haram also Must act More importantly You will discuss That the Cameroonian army Were also And the Brazilian people Fighters Were killed recently Of making an incursion I think it was used to bungle The voice Tries out That the governor doesn't have the wherewithal That they are not empowered by law Gorilla deal with security Now when those people came in He was helpless The same thing is happening in Niger state today Even if the Niger state governor Sees this Boko Haram coming in there Building tents Taking over communities Collecting taxes and not What power does he have What sort of power does he have What equipment does he have But logically Every power Every quasi power Is concentrated in the hands of Commander in chief In the federal government Please allow me to With this Because I totally understand that Powers are not with the state government But in its sense It has been put The chief security officers of the state And we cannot forget the security votes That's been released every other time And what we don't know what's going on So I feel like we can't just wake up And throw our hands and say Because we have not been empowered by the law And you were elected because It is government responsibility At every level to protect lives and properties So I really do not understand And the question is what happens to you Being the chief security officer Of the state Well Honestly speaking On paper the governor that Chief security officer Of the respective state But does the commissioner of police In their state Do they report to them Does the director of security Have this report to the governor Does the DOC of the army In the respective state report to the governor If the governor want to even Report to them And those people will talk to their superior In Nabooja And then the superior in Nabooja Either the IG Or the chief of army Or the director of security Will have to get approval From the commander in chief Which is Mr. President Before the soldier, before the police Before the DSS can be deployed In the respective state In between the time all this approval will be given Whoever wants to commit mayhem The Bukuan that wants to take over territory Would have established themselves on the ground But more importantly too You and I do know That the governor themselves also have their place They take a mongrel's amount of money in billions On a monthly basis of security votes But they spend the money on security No They divert the money They embezzle the money To pay Others will be Special assistants and others To buy loyalty to buy votes And they do all manner of things That are not related to security Because just like you said There are certain little things That the governor's could do That would have a hands in security Architecture of their state Let's take the example of Lagos state Which for me is a noble example They have set up a kind of security transform In which all the businesses All the Put in some form And they buy vehicles They buy helicopters They buy boats To patrol the waters and all that And they also put in CCTV cameras In certain places Such that all those things Come fast And kind of dissent it To whether they want to come to Lagos But that is not the situation We are finding ourselves In the northern part of the country Especially Kajuna, the Niger state That is boiling now They want the federal government To show that the responsibility We have in fact understood The position on all of that As we conclude As we conclude If I can just get Awarding edge wise On the final note Coming very quickly in 30 seconds The final story we will analyze this morning EFCC peak subs are Fani, Coyote for alleged forgery And document manipulation Very quickly I want to comment on that It's interesting that The EFCC Has again gone to Fani, Coyote You know I think he has about One or two cases in person And The smart man We probably think that if he crossed over To the EFCC All these things will be forgiven Because that has been the precedent That has been the precedent Of politicians who have soiled their hands In their political parties Immediately the EFCC Or the EFCC or the police Has to move a certain A goal to the EFCC, the union party And then like A man of EFCC would say For sure money All their previous things Will be erased and then they will be forgiven And then they can go home and see no more And spend the amount of money That has been stolen From the EFCC If the EFCC is going After Fani Coyote It's not impossible That they don't want to extend that test So Mr Fani Coyote Is the cause of this antecedent I left the cause He has insulted He has lamboo He has castigated And tried to disrupt the reputation Of so many people in the Lulee party I have rubbish The Lulee party The newspaper And social media And television programs They may want to teach him some lessons I said For what he has done In the past of this people I have my share That they might not be offended At like this They might not be offended Of forgiving his Corruption Again Because In a way Nearly torpedoed The present political power To incend their recommended That he's been making all over the place But nobody's above the law If you're Fani Coyote You're suspected to have committed the law I don't see anything wrong In the EFCC Of the IFCC Of the IFCD Calling to come and answer to those All right thank you so much And Barista Tunde Kolaoli That's indeed as much as we can take Off the press and this morning We appreciate your time In just a moment And we analyze what happened In history today
