Of course the apc had her convention on the 26th Of match 2022 and the apc nougat's appeal panel Tuesday pdp says adamo has fraud charges That's a serious issue. I mean the issue of fraud. Some people say 15 billion Others are saying for 10 billion, but what are your thoughts on this one? well, and the appeal panel It's in tandem with the electronics When you have the elections you have conventions of course the second panel Where are these parties who go to that to make their debut there? That's why you have their appeal panel But in this particular case, it's just going to be an academic exercise because you have the concessions And what the other candidates are asking for is just a report. They want the report a particular They Spend over 300 or 500 million campaigning for And Just Why If you don't ask them at the last minute of If you have told them any That look I don't think a lot of them would have gone ahead to cut it Not doing so many good Would have spent so much money and at the last minute you're not asking to set them We'll call some level of support. So definitely either play at the party or leave the party for another party Because they are really good That uh Not just because of adamo, but because of this process the way he met the last minute Position On the party a lot of people are definitely not happy with And this might cause some level of stupid in the party I say a lot of them defected in the next cause them playing at the party Then on the issue of the charging But uh, it's only for a lot of law pronouncing the guilty for now. They are not exactly they are not charging Has they been substantiated that's not like it's What presented as that probably happens this And it happens to me that and that one has got the takes To navigate the party to success is between stupidity It was probably based on that conclusion. Otherwise the party sees up all these allegations and mainly more of that will Will be hearing Very soon because we have my All right, I don't want us don't want us to dwell on that time abc because we won't Dev into it much later on the show But let's talk about other issues that that's sprung up on the punch newspaper all the stories as it is You know, what are your thoughts concerning, uh, the river state governor's? Intention, you know, uh, the punch captions it this way Wicked the class and presidency bed knocks at equal saraki and others Why no I want to play because But um At this point in time, you know with the issue because usually you have a lot of people saying, you know The electorate would be the one to decide and so all of that decision should be taken should be done Okay, okay Let's move away from that now quickly Still staying with the punch newspaper. I mean quite interesting issues. Maybe we're delving to the issue of Food so there's this report saying that bread prizes may go up and for those who are actually Great fan or I mean who really enjoy eating bread It might just be difficult for them now because the bakers are lamenting that Forex and energy issues are really affected and so the cost of bread might just be on the high I wonder how much a loaf of bread would actually go for at this point in time So Yes All right, let's move away from the punch in this paper. That's some very interesting stories They're very interesting stories on the daily independent lots of them making headlines out inadequate revenue collection weekends nigeria's death profile Another interesting one there 2023 presidential election Let's talk about that what jonathan gives presidency condition to join apc How do you reason that open up? I Want to see Let us do some permutation right now What do you really see happen if we have like a jonathan presidency come 2023? Is If he emerges as a candidate and you know, what are the likelihood that there'll be some level of acceptance and What would his presidency mean eventually even if he does win? Well, if he emerges as a candidate Probably does not will use this numerical strength For each one selfish reason To ensure that he wins general election after four years It will be fast enough. It's only of that presence that is not to support it Not that they know that and of course because of the south-south mass It does to get to get the sympathy of south don't from the south side Although a lot of us are not really happy with this because in years as president Six years ago there about we really never been a candidate anything That was he admitted And I apologize that he did nothing for the south side A lot of us would have some good reasons to have some doubts as to his level of commitment But he promised then that if we elected we were going to perform But there is a possibility of him imagine that the president of the country is quite hard He will have a better chance because the not to throw each week behind it when I mean the not I mean the apc people and Most of the people in the city that would still be Because a lot of them with the We want to look out at their presence Then he generally made it as president Ha I mean, it's not better than it was when he was there Yeah Okay, um, just before we move away from the punch now as we close the conversation down It's a report from the central bank of niger. That's the cbn saying that niger spends 39.66 billion dollars on foreign education and Medical tourism. How do we get this money to remain in our country? It's simple put it who does in terms of fiscal management? We've done the president himself like a little bit by example It's constantly you You have the minister you have the governor you have the uh commissioners you have the advisors You have the local government chairman and so on So what do you expect? They want us to back up. Why did I do that? I make that got into the economy. We're spending more They have to put the school in nigeria Don't get bad after this right 100,000 naira if you pay the cbn Another job is there for the demand is not a problem If the head is brought in the body of the rocks credit if the economy is good it tells you credit If it's bad it tells you blame Whatever All right, open up or let's uh get slide to the nation newspaper now this issue of zoning. It's still resounding Uh, the way it's captioned here southeast okay zoning of pdp ticket to the south. Uh, what are your thoughts really, uh open up I don't know that's how it is the southeast Because You see how the boy is a conjecture But the southeast is unless you watch and see I don't really have the facts and I will not want to quantify All right, then, uh, we'll still go back to the punch newspaper and that's because There's a lot of interesting headlines headlines this morning on the punch He says state governments sinks deeper as nmpc plans 328 billionaire deductions in april There's a lot of So I'll take that again. Uh, he says state governments sink deeper as nmpc plans 328 billionaire deductions in april That do not generate So I'm hoping that, uh, you know with this kind of narrative, I mean the same way we still have been operating Couldn't we have considered this, you know during the constitutional review? Shouldn't this have been a case that should have been proposed talking about the amendment of the constitution So, you know some states can be allowed to, um Harness their natural resources in their state And also general revenue without having to be dependent, you know on the revenue that accrued from, you know I don't know All right, so for now, but before let you go Let's uh, um, talk about the invasion that happened over the weekend in Keduna daily independent has a story on that Uh, with the caption Keduna airport attack federal government has conceded sovereignty to terrorists That's according to the pdp Uh, the alleged Abu Hari is fiddling while Nigeria bonds. What are your thoughts generally concerning that particular attack at the Keduna airport? And how do you really think that could also be so stored? Thank you so much.
