Now you have several riders VIPs politician orders procure ammo SUVs demand overwhelms dealers suppliers confirm increased demand Sales and their experts worry over killings and kidnapings politicians action show The 2023 polls may not be valence free.

That's what the World Bank is quoted to say Muslim Muslim ticket to no bullshit team as frustrating Reconciliation says la wa and you have seven Lagos passengers born in crash firefighters attack Legacy burden traffic police and kidnappers exchange gunfires traveler Rescued. I mean there's a lot going on Niger at 62 and as to strike now cantiles the federal government They're more interesting headlines here, but we'll move away further one tough time Over to the nation newspaper with these headlines this morning the paper is back with its headline coverage of the PDP not that it is top covering the PDP issues But I'm this time is by giving it the biggest Attention on its front page. The big story there. There's quiet in the PDP National working committee over 10 billion era Nomination fees this quiet in PDP and WC over 10 billion era nomination fees right as to that Members complain about depletion of cash to one billion era. Wow Controversy over bribery lingers so koa seeks sarkis intervention over we case threat to boycott presidential campaigns more from the nation Petrol subsidy hits 2.57 trillion era as supply rises by 10 percent anti-all theft IG confirms seizure of 123 vessels Cannes president to youth that don't be politicians body shields Why we have not endorsed peter be by ohanese. Oh, yeah, Tola a delicate trade word This tribunal begins sitting. That's one to watch Anxiety is a CBN set to raise interest rates to new high Court fixes Wednesday for judgment in machina versus law on case as another one to watch Those are the headlines in the front page of the nation Away from the nation. We have the Nigerian Tribune 2023 pause states to watch his campaign kicks off this week. That's on the 28 But some people say I mean, you know, the campaigns have started already. I have no political deal with a debut Ogun PDP says I'm also PDP APC beaker as a shun tribunal begins sitting and Looking at all the caption here Pencom approves 25% withdrawal from RSA balance as equity contribution for mortgages and Seven bunt in Lagos boss accidents. It was also on the punch at 60 Second independence and investment service can says the weekend shall not rule Nigeria But people need to go out and you know cast your vote whether or not there's a wicked man Will be dependent on the people to choose Flood sacks cogey femur acts residents of abuja flood prone to relocate and Fanny fair lords a curidolou overstands on true federalism Well, that's so much we can take this morning on the Nigerian Tribune And finally we have headlines on the front page of the Guardian newspaper more airlines depart empty as charges rejections a stifled Export and quite a number of riders to that would take all of that for now PFN this owns northern bishops meeting with Tino as more disquiet trails a PC campaign cancel Harvard University to honor Chimamanda with W eb Dubois Meadow Harvard University to honor Chimamanda with W eb Dubois Meadow details on page to that's a quite an interesting one Right there Huriwa, that's a civil society organization plays song allu over suffocating taxation 23 million dollar abuja lute syrups use Buhari Malami over failure to publish packed with us or bustling Joe Conjure We are like others the cry absence of purposeful leadership in Nigeria and police retirees announced SGF National Assembly to pass pension bill some of the headlines On the front page of the Guardian will quickly bring in our guest analysts this morning up on a ball in Kottariya Settable because you're looking quite Like a royal reverse man and the reverse will are quite proud of their culture. I'll give it to you But but but let's look at the the the latest Romance want to call it that between the APC presidential candidate and The clergy with what that Guardian is saying is that Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria is its own in northern bishops meeting with Tinnable Are we supposed to be going down this later game? Well, it's just sad that at this point in time. I think Like I always say we want to dwell on Trigelities the problem is has to do with perception, you know, the Generational and not of criticism and what a lot of people have come down by that and the former SSG I think I'm talking about the And few of us express their misgivings and so Coming from such places. I mean, it's not something you're just going to dismiss and I think what the people group is trying to do is to Swear to the Christians because don't forget the Christian Christians not to vote for Tinnable because of the Muslim northern ticket starting what is Tinnable fashion is trying to be to placate the Christmas And so he will stop at nothing to meet with the shops and so on but that is that definitely not going to change anything Because If my bishop tells me to vote for example, Mr. A, okay Let me use coffee. If my bishop says vote for coffee and the person I have in mind is messy After this, the bishop cannot convince me to vote for coffee when I Decided to vote for mess. It's definitely not going to change anything. Maybe if you look at some Religious bigots, it might affect them But I think my deal is a wiser. It's not a but it won't one man one foot It's in the light meet with the eye vision of content. If I meet with Nigeria's are no longer bothered. We cannot be doodled anymore. You see, I always tell people we must not continue to transform to the status group. We must transform You know, I'm not to conform because that is really because if you say my bishop said I do vote for Mr. A And you go ahead to vote for Mr. A. At the end of the day, if you have bad gondoms Entroned, you don't have anybody to blame And it's like say you have a godfather as well. And that's what makes good luck of destruction I tell you to disagree and I always tell people I said for me open up vote if Mr. A Is a contesting for the presidency on a particular platform Let's say the PDP platform and Mr. B is contesting for House of Red on APC platform And Mr. C is contesting for CIMI on Uh People platform and I have contributed in this candidate. I'm going to vote across the party line I will not say because I'm a PDP member. I'm a group of PDP all the way Because at the end of the day, it's like a race. When it's going to race, it's going to race on every group If that PDP man is incompetent and it's hypothetical I'm not saying if you have followed me, mention me If that PDP man is incompetent, it is going to rub up on me So I should like my vote should be premised on competence and not on party activation So if they can meet with any particular, they can meet with any particular, they can meet with any particular Those countries don't know, I don't believe in this issue The pastor is the same. Well, we all know how many pastors are criminals So if they can meet with all those kind of characters, we don't give a damn about that Oh, of course Really Christ himself said it You know how the Pharisees, the Sadducees and so on I'm not even, it's Christ, they're not all that, they've got lots of letters in the kingdom of heaven We all say, I cannot understand why a pastor will give coffee, 10 million Naira and will go on air to serve Giving coffee, 10 million Bring the law set, wait, wait the right hand gives the left hand to talk to You've got to hear the word already on that So most of the pastors are politicians Let him go ahead and meet with them You mentioned This has to be able to vote for Yeah, you mentioned being a member of the PDP, I don't know if that was those people It has nothing to do with credibility, but it has nothing to do with credibility It has to do with the content and the day with which he held All right, all right, you mentioned You mentioned So whether he's credible or not is the material Yeah, you mentioned being a member of the PDP While making that, I wonder if that's also hypothetical But I'm not a member of the PDP We'll leave that for another day I just said I'm a member of the PDP Okay So I'm a member of the PDP Okay, I also want to be sure, so our listeners don't get you wrong Because you said if I, as a member of the PDP Hypothetical Okay, all right I am politically on him, I mean, I'm partly on him I don't belong to any political party No, no, I just want to be sure So people don't misunderstand you Yes, yes No, no, please, yes Thank you for that, thank you very much for that They want to know, I don't belong to any party I belong to everybody and nobody It depends on your credibility That's quite interesting Let's take a look at the punch now On the punch, he talks about politics and insecurity Now there's a demand for bulletproof vehicles And special security gadget is on the high This is what pro-democracy groups reporting Especially saying that you have all the persons Politicians and very prominent persons You know, procuring AMOT SUVs and what have you I'd also like to find out, open up But have you also, you know, acquired any of these vehicles? Yes, I have That's very good So it's bulletproof, right? Yes, I have treated vehicles But the only difference is that why these other ones Are things that you can see, are this one or mine is this one So, that's for the light of the day But yeah, we have a lot to get you for It's a very bulletproof vehicle But what do you make of this? The truth about it is that Well, people do these things for twin reasons One, status You understand? Then two, sorry, I don't know why this One, status When you're driving in the bulletproof vehicle It is believed that you have And as we say in our local parliament We have arrived I mean, yes, it's a big man Is this, is that? Sorry, oh my God I don't know why these people are disturbing my life Ah, I'm so sorry It's as if you have arrived Because he's laughing It's as if you have arrived I'm a big man Even when your life is not a danger It's a status thing Then secondly, people use this Because of course the political hostages have started And a lot of people believe that The campaigns are going to be centenarian In other words, not like it And so the best thing is to get The bulletproof vehicle in order to protect yourself But I always tell people, I said On the day you're going to die, you're going to die Even presidents like you The amount of bulletproof vehicle will save you The only time a bulletproof vehicle will save you Is when you are not the target And probably have sent out this charge Bet for the vehicle that killed you If for example now Let me use coffee again You know why life is in coffee Because I know that There aren't any cases in court against me If I use coffee, you will know So let's say for example now I want to kill coffee God forbid it, it will never happen Not in this world and in that world But let's say I want to kill coffee And I know that coffee is using a treated vehicle What do you think I'll do? Do you think I'll grab time on the road? I won't grab time on the road Probably even when it's making a speech Or probably when it's at a puncture I won't go for him on the road Why should I go for him on the road? So you have the treated vehicle when It says you when you are But probably you're not the target And it says from accidental discharge That is one Then all number two You are traveling and you have these kidnappers But the truth is Look at what happened to Andy But who escapes? Just by the whiskers You had a close shave with them Now a lot of people said The bulletproof vehicle saved him and all those things What a very large estate But I strongly believe A quick one Because That if this thing Okay Yes well we're being prompted to leave in no time But let me quickly ask Let me ask you this now You thank you You thank you Here I'm confused for 30 minutes Analyzing If you're going to allow me But that's the company for another No problem Oh open up on Kateria Open up on Kateria We apologize for the delay But that's what the lights are doing That's what the lights are doing I'm enjoying it actually All right then But let me ask you this now My question is still with the punch And underneath the boat caption It talks about pro-democracy saying The actions of politicians And the elites Ahead of the 2023 election It's just a pointer That the election will not be violence free Do you agree with them? Yeah I will not completely disagree But I think it will be a lot better than the previous elections But my fear will stem from the fact That if presidential candidates have threatened That if he was not given the tickets There will be problems With certain parameters Now if a presidential candidate Just imagine as the candidate of the party Could issue such threats You can imagine what will happen When it comes to being the president of the company So there is this Fear There is this dread Fear of dread and this unease That yes some persons are so desperate That they will resort to anything To various expedients to ensure that they get there And that is the fear Otherwise I have a conviction That it will not be as bad as it used to be There will be some level of improvement Because of the improvement by INEC But suddenly INEC I want to believe right now from Research development is even being compromised Now they are talking about another thing But INEC is even being compromised I don't know I cannot Diverse Jigar from the allegations Sorry I think Jigar is the next chairman Is it? No sorry Mamuria Kubu So pay up now Mamuria Kubu Sorry Mamuria Kubu Jigar Kubu sorry Yes you mean Jigar Kubu yes I cannot insulate it I cannot insulate from the allegations Because these things are in the social media And it has to have been brought to his notice Of course we have the Ugo Goshundus allegations And other things So he cannot pay the ignorance of them And the allegations are not that bad So there we have the Akwabi and Koh A lot of people hide under the cover of courts To perpetrate all kinds of evils All kinds of crimes So Jigar is not held back To save his credibility And the image of the commission That in itself will stimulate crisis Did you say Jigar? Jigar is not held back because It's been questioned Sorry? I think you wanted to say But in Jigar Mamuria Kubu Yes but in Jigar In Jigar We will restore and get to the confidence Because Nigeria to a very large extent Before we had all these allegations Has so much confidence in INEK Not until the issue of the profile Who is the real candidate Who is not the real candidate After INEK uploaded the names of the candidate You can imagine the kind of Kuraari generation All right, so we have to go To correct the impression Okay All right I would like to know what Jigar has done to you Because he has done to you Sorry? No, no, we know you met Jigar Kubu Yes, yes, in INEK We'll keep watching the space Don't mind me I mean, yes, you have I was wondering maybe He gave you the room a bit Treatment or something I have 9400, I've tried All right, it's been a pleasure having you With us this morning And we know that next time We definitely will do our best To make sure you have more time with you You're always one guest Who always gives us an exciting delivery all the time So Ponaboh and Kuraari Thank you very much for your time, sir Thank you so much All right, all right All right, we have to go And of course we'll be having a first major discussion Up next but of course Let's look at what happened today in history We'll be right back
