 And we're back with the breakfast and plus CV Africa public affairs analyst upon a born Kottari joints us live a virgin to give us his expert analysis as we go through the pages at the front pages of today's national dealies upon a born Kottari. Good morning to you. Thank you very much for your time and happy new week. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. And happy new. Right. It's a it's a independence holiday. I can see you in your green and wearing what I call the autumn cup. And I think that's a good way to celebrate Nigeria. Well, I'm not telling the truth. It's just a coincidence. Okay. Maybe it's maybe it's written in the stars. All right. Let's start with a look at the punch this morning. That's a very interesting stories on the front pages today. Being the first working day in the week. The punch leads with this headline. The PDP crisis. What are you looking at them? I'm also that was a nation is super for a second PDP crisis.

In a tweet yesterday, he was cycling, he was cycling the exercise bicycle like you're seeing there. And he says, I'm hail and hearty, says Tinwe PC candidate ready to serve. But he just need to go to the comment section of that tweet to really see what people are saying down there. But a big one from the nation, PDP Board of Trustees may ask IU to resign over crisis. I mean, the nation has really given a lot of attention to this. The writers to that story, party leaders to meet weekend in Podhakar tomorrow, or Tom Iqbazu, Oguai, Makin Day, brainstorm in Inugu, emergency neck meeting underway in Abuja. Wonder why they all have to be traveling from wherever they are to Inugu or to Podhakar when you have Zoom. Can they brainstorm on Zoom? All right. Anyway, more from the nation, Ohaneze to Southeast.

FG, Warns Asso against Disobeying Court Order. Details on page 11. Opponaba and Kotara, which of the headlines would you like to start things off with? Anyone. That's good for me. All right. Anyway, we'll stick with this day. Tinnable Raw says his fit to serve. Put out a picture of video on Twitter. I think the nation captured that on his front page as well, if you can flip to that. What are your thoughts? The man says that he's heard people are already saying he's dead or people are wishing him dead and that he's ill and all that. But, well, he started to disappoint them. He's ill and hurting. He was cycling on that bicycle. What are your thoughts on that? Well, I think that just the future like times to the bank is health that's negative health. The students concerned is negative health. That Tinnable is medically on pitch. Or has serious medical challenges, maybe put it that way. Because when they say medically on pitch, a lot of people might miss interpreting to me, legally or constitutionally, he's not fit to contest. So that's all I mean. What the point I'm making is he has serious medical challenges. And I believe that these are challenges that are threats to his life. I strongly believe. And honestly, I'm beginning to think that probably his desperation for power is as a result of maybe, I said probably, as a result of what the doctor could have told him concerning his health. And so he has resolved to ensure that whether the APC likes it or not, and I'll tell you that threat, you want to do the Western state, when it talks about that we are filled and this time bad for him, but to become the president. So I have this belief, I have this conviction that probably the doctor thought something to me concerning this life span. And that would have been found in desperation. Because the man is sick. When they say sick, we're not saying malaria, because people come up to say everybody falls sick. Of course, everybody falls sick. But the man who has malaria cannot be compared to the man who has cancer. I'm using this hypothesis. The man who has malaria, I'm not saying he has cancer, cannot be compared to the man who has cancer. The man who has malaria is sick. But that did mean not as serious as the man who has cancer, unless you have this malaria that gets in the debate. But you're not taught what I'm trying to say. So people, it's really, really sick. What they are doing is just to give Nigeria's impression and it awakens the reminiscence of what happened with Yeragwa, when they said Yeragwa was sick. And what did the person do to not spread out about the video of Yeragwa playing squash? Eventually what happened? We are in one case. Even the issue of virus illness was not even contemporized as much as that of Chinibu right now. But we can see what we are talking. We are constantly on a long search. Constantly. It's either on one medical trip or it's outside the country for one reason or another. Now again, even when it's been on a medical trip, they use foreign visits, international visits and so an excuse to cover up for his trip to London. It happened innocently just this year. So the fact that Chinibu is sick is really flagging my damn product. If they like, they can come up with all kinds of pictures. They can come up with all kinds of videos. I'm not. If he says he speaks, let him cycle on the video for at least one hour. Is that not too harsh? You want him to cycle for one hour. I mean, he's, you know, he's aged 70 years. It gets, I have a number of numbers in my head. Sorry, I don't want to say the wrong thing. I need to check. But at his age, I mean, he looks okay. He was cycling normally. If you're not well, you might not be able to cycle like that. You know, if you cycle for 30, 40 minutes, 30 minutes, if you want to ride a bicycle, I'm going to ride a bike for 10 minutes. If you have to ride a bike for a million moments, one hour, because you have to go around the circle or something. Because if you have to bike, that's a side problem. You can't go bike for 10 minutes, you can't go bike for 15 minutes. Let's just relax. But, but I mean, you weren't, you weren't, you weren't, you weren't. Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is the man who was at the APC presidential rally. Even when the president left the venue to go home to refresh and rest, he was there from the night. Sorry, the convention, the president, the primary, the primary. Yeah. Tirupu was there from night, the night, in fact, from the day into the night, into the morning, to the next day, where he gave his acceptance speech. He was there, didn't go home. And we all saw, we all saw when he mounted the lectern to make a speech. We saw how he moved from the VIP stand to the lectern. You saw it. We all saw how he was boxed by cutting over there, including advocate, gabby, and co. We all saw it. So what are we saying? To sit down there, it doesn't take anything. It is very possible for a man that is very sick, doesn't worry, sit down. And this worry zone now is no. Doesn't worry, sit for millions of hours. And this worry zone is no day here, and you are sick. You see, if you are sick, you are sick. If you are not sick, you are not sick. No matter how you deny it, if there are things you cannot hide. Like my late dad will always say, you are trying to hide sickness, very sick, not to deliberately expose you. Because you see, actually, it's like I'm not pregnant, I'm not pregnant. It's a matter of time. It's a matter of time. Say that in Tinnibu, I have the money that you guys purchase the drugs that will make him look sick. But you see, nature is nature. And that's what I want in the wise instance, I expose. Nature is nature. We have the money. Okay, what has happened to the inauguration of the PCC? That's an important occasion, function. What has happened to it? Is that what the country, our medical ground? Is that what we are going to face? It don't get to living in worse than where we are sick. That is the truth. From what we see now, Shetima will be the de facto president of the country. I mean, yeah, so are you not okay with that fact? I mean, if Shetima will be the de facto president of the country, at least he is in a suite. If we can, if we can, if we can save all that, if we can, no, because we depend on nature. There's no problem. If, for example, now he gets into office and something happens, because, I mean, you cannot control your tomorrow. You can only pray for or against what you are going to do. You can control it. So if you get into office and something happens and Shetima, by virtue of considering provisions, takes over, steps in, that's a difference in all together. Is it? But then you cannot say you want to, because you have a Shetima that can fill in the gap. Therefore, you can elect somebody that is medically on feet. Why do you think the Constitution is also concerned about your medical fitness? You see, the first steps are the table. Even if Shetima becomes a de facto president, if part of the limit is a circumscribed, let us realize that. And you're going to have a table that will now be controlled by cronies, again, just like what you have under the Buayras administration. So even appointments are made into NNPC without Mr. President Prima, so, I'm not even talking about the Prime Minister, no legs. Shetima is a big explosion to Buayras, and today he's big honor for humankind, for what? And even that issue of both humankind and honor is even contrary to the provisions of the act. Honor to God, honor people, for humankind. I mean, this national honor. I know why God does not have to refuse to honor this lady who died, this medical doctor, this Ebola medical doctor, who died on the lap of 15 Ebola, please. I know why God does not refuse to honor. Just fight the pressure. Just fight the pressure. But look at what he does. Some net statistics are now used as refuse to honor, is it the former president? Yes, yes. So on one ground, now you are honoring today who's your nephew. I'm from Nigeria, and you've got to honor him. What has he done? What has he done? Corruption is not all about finance. Necessity is corruption. And no simplicity is corruption. Who has done that? You have to honor him then. What has he done? And you don't want to honor society? A former president, a former governor, a former senior president. You don't want to honor him. What kind of a country is that? You're honoring today Abayah. Oh my God. What kind of a country is this? You know, I'm not using my name. Yeah, that's interesting. But let's move on to the next one. The People's Democratic Party seems to still not know where it's headed. We hear that Wike and Ticumete in Abuja, some sort of offer was made to Wike. The word on the street is that the offer is to support Wike and Ticumete. They must have said it in 15, 20, 27. Yeah, so I mean, now the governors who are on the Wike side of the party met in, of course, have said this is the leadership met in Inugu to weigh out the options. They've not reached an agreement. What are your thoughts on the current state of affairs in the PD and P? I've got a copy. I just say these five governors slandering the morass of issues. You know, thinking that they can influence the exit is akin to backing on the sticky weekend. It's a fallen hope. There is nothing. You know, when they said these people returned money, we've funded their money. Well, inasmuch as it's a novel thing, the PD, it has never happened. But it can be an innovation. It can be. And secondly, if it is approved, although that is still contentious, but if it is approved by, is it the neck of the party? I'm talking about the controversial housing allowance. If it is approved, then the truth about it is that you can be observed. Unless it is done, currently on its own, without the approval of the approving authority or body or whatever. I don't know if it's the neck on WC or whatever. Now, the point I'm trying to make, my dear, you are refunding these monies weeks after, about a week or two weeks after it's all paid into your account. Once the monies are paid into your account or withdraw, you get an allowance. Why didn't you raise this issue until one or two weeks after it was actually, it was well orchestrated by a microscopic team. These characters are acting on the orders of these criminals. That's what's called the steady state. The lives of them are there. You all know their inclination, where they are. We all know that they are both wicked, marching there, out on and so on. And they will stop admonishing the office to cast a flaw on the passion of IU. And that is what they are doing. They are not trying to judge them. But like I said, if it is approved by the authority that also approved, the body that also approved, if it is not an IU on its own, they did, where there are disciplinary measures. That does not in any way justify it. It was done illegally. Even if it was done illegally, there are other disciplinary measures and not to remove IU and the quarantine time. It's going to cause more crisis in the party. The data campaigns have started. How can you not change your national channel? And even if you change your national channel, you see who comes there, put them on call with clean hands. You don't approbate or reprobate. Now, if you remove the national channel, your argument is ostensibly planned on the issue of equity, fairness, and justice. In other words, where the national channel must come from. If that is your argument, and you remove the national channel, the man that will take his place, that will step in, is dead in somebody still from that zone. Now you're saying that students, you have to take their constitution so that it drops to the south. Who the hell are you to dictate to the party? So are you saying the constitution should be reviewed because of just four, five persons? When did the funding panel did not influence such a review? Personally inexplicable for you to come and tell me that they have to review the constitution in the interest of inclusiveness. Are you elected? Elected not appointed. I think it was elected not appointed. When you knew that are you was the national chairman from the north, why did you elect a people? The presumption there is that the issue of where somebody comes from is material. What is paramount, what is preeminent is bigger before. That is the presumption. And so we don't care whether are you from the north and the person is appointed from the north. Otherwise you would have said are you from the north. Therefore we are not going to elect somebody from the north as well. Whatever this man said that went on that day is politics. Whatever this man can do, it cannot even be criticized to anyone. It's politics because politics is all about interest. It's all about interest. I think we'll let it in. All right. It's a consecutive circle of conspiracies. So you don't blame anybody when it comes to politics. Whatever you do, provided it is legitimate and legal, you cannot blame anybody. Because it is all about what politics is all about. If a man has smacked you, if a man has smacked you, he has smacked you. You go back and do your homework. All right. Open up. Go to it. Go to it. Go to it. It's synopsis. What I'm saying is synopsis coffee is there. They are wasting their time. Are you will not go? And let me tell you the truth. This issue of 2012-17, that is a big part lie, which I should know, that his actions are gradually leading him to his political empire. That is the truth about it. Interesting. We'll go over to the final one, which is on the front page of the nation. Interesting one. Just dovetails into one of the top trending stories this morning on the ASU strike. Obey court order, FG or federal government tells ASU. I think this comes after, probably after NGG walked out of the negotiations in a meeting there, the House of Representatives. But this is what the paper says. The federal government yesterday advised the academic staff union of universities to obey national industrial court ruling that ordered striking lectures to return to work. Ministers of labor and employment. Senator Christen Gige said a new directive by ASU, exerting its members to continue the strike was lawlessness. He added court that the federal government strongly frowns at this. He released a statement in Abuja. It was released by his deputy director, press and public relations, whether the minister accused ASU's leadership of misinforming and misleading its members. It seems it's all confusing up and above with what is happening as far as the federal government's stance is concerned. Because on one side, we see the House of Representatives negotiations. The minister walks out on one side. We see the minister of education informing the committee for team and committee to look into the recommendations of another committee led by Professor Mee Briggs. And then in all of this, while they're trying to see how to get this sorted out, the minister is issuing, is taking ASU to court. And then now after the meeting, where he walked out, issues a statement saying they should obey the court order. So is this government really, really, are they sincere about ending this strike in your opinion? You see, what the government is applying is what I refer to as the premium policy. You know, because you know the premium policy is. I mean, you just keep doing things to tire out the opposition. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. First and foremost, first and foremost, there cannot be crueler tyranny than that perpetrated under the shoes of the law. You diss their agreements with ASU. ASU is saying, no, you must honor our court. It's an agreement signed by Mr. Prostate. We reviewed the agreement. You must honor. Rather than honor, you want to court. Praying the court to compel ASU to go back to work. In other words, to hand with the agreement we have. I will bring my accusers to bear. You must walk willy-nilly. I will not risk that I take. ASU will be the greatest soon to go back to work. Contents? Okay. Let them down. Let them down arrest them. I think there's content. Go on arrest. That will be a constitutional format. A constitutional format. All right. All right, we have to leave it at that. What's the term we use again to describe what the federal government is doing? Pregnant policy. All right. All right. Employing the Pregnant policy. All right. The stuck in house. Interesting. Opponabou and Kutaira, thank you so much. It's been a very interesting session with you. And we look forward to having you again with us next week. Thank you. All right. Enjoy your holidays. Time to you. And that's it guys. Thank you very much. That is the size of our package for all the press. We'll take a break now to just give you a bit of a taste of what happened today in history. When we return our first major conversation, please stay with us.
