They actually included or not on a list today. It's has a bomb shell What you can call a bombshell and I will go quickly so I guess can comment on the stories Autumn breaks with wiki says he's not supporting. I use removal Autumn breaks with wiki says he is not supporting. I use removal Riders to that a real fam's confidence in his ability to lead the party to victory PDP stakeholders pressure article to prevail on chairman to quit Dino Melae. We're not threatened by our Competitors ex VP appoints are a key. I am check around the condos as special advice as the condos being there I'm sure it's a direct direct dot at wiki. It's a do your your worst More from the nation a day manager wife and if I was supporting Peter Bees presidential bid I think we can move on the other ones have been covered by the other papers. Let's quickly welcome Chris Kennedy one Do he's not is he on board with us yet? No, okay While waiting for him to to rejoin, let's read some details of that that story here from this day You know hey for me, that's I think the BS headlines so far You know the papers and the papers done its work So far do we have Chris Kennedy one do back mercy? Yes, we do. Okay, so our Chris Kennedy one Who can you hear us? Please kindly confirm Good morning. Let's start with this day. I'll just read a few details It's very short very quickly or Tom Briggs with wiki says is supporting I use removal rear fems confidence in his ability to lead the party to victory What the paper says is the Ben restate governor? Yesterday dismissed in situation that he was in support of the removal of the national chairman of the PDP Saying it is impossible for him to advocate for the removal of someone he helped to a point, which is true Or Tom reasserted his confidence and I use Ability to lead the party to victory next year's presidential election in a surprising contrast to the position of his close ally River state governor. Yes, I'm wiki. Do you think the papers aptly captured this? Statement by saying or Thomas broken with weekend. What are your thoughts generally on this development? Well, if what if what is the true position that is not surprising to me? Yes, because My time you have seen them Gov. No, Tom has been somehow inconsistent which is a A Transits when it comes to this issue, don't forget how he spoke about article and what transfer between article and wiki when I think we eventually Was taken as the potential candidate of the PDP and At the point was saying that article inage on the promise he made to the party Who is going to pick at his advice presidential candidate? They are too much to say that there was nothing like that that what he was given was about three names and the Committee set up headed by autumn did not specifically mention that wiki should be Picked as the vice presidential candidate so that he was that nobody to pick who he wanted and that was I came about Governor or cover of them that aspect So and about time you want me to see the body language of him autumn You will see that it's a body All right, Chris. Can you hear us please? It seems it seems that the network has played a fast on him. We're sorry for that Interruption will try to get back to Chris. Can you wonder as quickly as possible? but but in making this this remark or this statement the Governor benefit was reacting to Accusations by a group That he was involved in ouster moves against the PDP national chairman who is a fellow Benway man don't forget I was making some comments regarding his son. Are you son and the governor of Benway State? But he has had to say this. I don't know if this will pit him against wiki in any way because of course We case a deep and big on loyalty mercy. All right, Chris. Can you hear me? Are you back? Yes, I can hear you We can Okay, so it's our system Is there just published anything to go by then is expected don't forget that the national chairman of PDP is from Benway State and That it was wiki and Malcolm that commanded the appointment of Senator You are you as the national chairman of PDP so Very contrary to what they are It would be worthy for Person like the governor of Benway State to be going against a chairman that is from his state Not only from his state from his political zone So this is expected and I know that in the days to come you might see so many of them so-called wiki's Friends and moving away from from him don't forget for example the governor of For your state governor marking the Is going to we contest This is at a second. No, I don't know how he's going to do it. How he would be conversing for Candidate from another party and also conversing but for himself as a PDP member That would be a very very terrible strategy on his part. So, but let's see how this was that by tomorrow the The ban will be lifted on campaign Who's there? news coming up from Debtory is something that should be what it's on to go from wiki as a politician All right, Chris. Let's quickly look at the Consensus of fenniferry and the fact that they are throwing their support To pita will be I want to stand the group what they represent at the end of a day They've actually given a reason but you want to talk about the Southwest now Do you think that the support is encompassing that it cuts across the entire Southwest? No, the the does that by a penny for it. Don't forget a penny for a is a Is a group he does not totally represent? Everything starts well. There are also some people that don't belong to a penny for it And so many people see a penny for a as a council of some sort of head that But over the years if you have seen the pattern most often than not after a very hard oldest in those PDP candidates as it was right from 1999 No, 1990 it was more 80 more a debate from 2000 and 2003 fully endorsed the candidates or off From a president about and who was in PDP or do from the Southwest and subsequently they've in those order And candidates from PDP So even during the last election that brought in Muhammad worry And does good luck Jonathan as they are candidate. So that is a big is a huge leap for P2B and campaign team for a an organization like often fair to Endure in what this goes to show that it will be campaign has gone beyond what we want to believe that oh is a satis Agenda obedience are only from the southeast and the rest of them. That is what other parties and them Presidential candidates have been trying to serve the best from the what you have seen in the past few days over the Mighties the various cities are but yeah, I know Jaws Another place is you see that the movement is going beyond what some people thought initially they say they didn't have structure But from what we have seen now you can see that they are well structured if you see the way they organize that campaign They are lilies and the rest of them You see this as an organization that is well structured and most what it wants to down where they are heading to so for me it is the endorsement by a very very only opens the scope of a perception about It'll be possession Candidacy that is not just limited to one part of the country a very different hardware that how that endorsement is good to Turn up for him in terms of both from the south-west is what we're going to be Way to see in 2023 Forget that from in a book can be there from the start In the person of as you are the bollard mentionable of a PC is contested a lesson And it is believed that the people of the south-west waves fully back their own when it comes to 2023 All right, the papers at least two of them are going with some stories regarding the the Constitution of a campaign Teams for the two major or the two leading political parties see people's Democratic Party and the all-progressives Congress. For instance, the nation new super has this story Where it says a tickoo bypasses wiki bypasses wiki allies names are a key or illola as advices then we go to We go to daily trust Which says disquiet in the APC of a composition of campaign team Or she by John Mee she's silence raises dust Cancel fails to issue letter to nominees tenable begins campaign press session So what are your thoughts on sort of this perceived them? Bypassings you want to call it that and the silence of some of the Dramatis personnel who were part of the the presidential primaries in in the two parties But I could feel there's no way the political party is going to have everybody in the campaign team Council last year. I think that of it about 400 and For some for for something like that I don't know the number of that of PDP and so there is no way everybody can Be a member of that council. What we happen is that everyone will begin their own things in their own the true ways and rest of them When you look at the story by the The nation I'm not surprised The nation is focusing on PDP. We know the ownership of the nation And I would have also thought that the nation will also talk about those agitation in APC I since several people in the APC who felt that they ought to be in that campaign Council already complaining There's somebody in Lagos Hold the need He ought to be there and the saying that the party does not reward true loyalist, whatever I mean by that I don't know but the The campaign council have been constituted to a magical went ahead yesterday to Also a point second advice us the person of Saraki a lot. Gooseberry. Oh, you know, I am and some others as advisors in this campaign team The Parties have to close right now. There's no time for all this sort of division and they must like They have to get the third house together the campaign starts tomorrow in as much as I know that the campaign has started is far far back It's just officially to be officially Ombarned tomorrow and we're going to see a lot of fireworks in the days to come But I hope that the presidential candidate and the partisans focus on the Issues that I just want to know and not just resort to personal attack There's not what you want to do about the economy. That was what you want to do about the security That was what you want to do in the education sector That was what you want to do in health and also infrastructure They lose how you can be able to handle the issue of also far better than worry and it has got me has done You can see how they reverse themselves yesterday after I send the besties to open the university Three hours later they reverse the other directive and the universities have been mentioned Let's quickly take a look at the daily trust newspaper. It talks about the disquieting the APC over the composition of campaign team But I mean still looking at that. There's also The fact that the vice president a mage is quite silence and some people have been suspicious of all of that and There's also another part that talks about the council feeling to issue letters to nominees I'd like to show your thoughts quickly on that We just I just miss talking about that now. I just what I just miss talking about I'll say that they have to move ahead for the campaign council as a statement going to be Nomination To kick off their campaign that that after that and let us will be issued to all embass of the council. I thought that the press statement and they've asked every All right, Chris Another one that's quite interesting It's still on the daily trust the federal government backtracks with all order to reopen Varsities, I mean just before then there was an order you have to open the universities And then the federal government is withdrawing that particular order. What what's really going on? the federal government order was out of place and Also rightly issued a statement on that order that at no point in time they have key to the university That the federal government is there and owner of this university and the state government are also doing on that of this university So that they had the right to open the university that can be given for them They don't have the key to the university. In fact, I also had nothing to do with opening or Pluisin or even facilities within the university. That is even the the job function of Sanu So the non-academic staff, they are the one that clean up the university. They are the one that Take care of electricity, water and other infrastructure within the university That also is just to walk into the classroom and teach and go away So they told the federal government that they have nothing to do with the federal government University that is there But I think that's that statement was no way for that before You see came out with that directive and it was good that they could listen because are you opening the university? What are you opening universities for if the naturalists are not going to be there? You want the students to remain there that in this safe was to allow the students back into the campus Without them being taught then you are breathing a lot of things can happen They can go out protesting and rioting and that requires a lot of problem for both the university and the system So I think for security purposes and they will do that later and the university So I think that's the best thing to do the best thing for them to do man He sort out the problem with us to agree with us on some of the things that have been agreed So that the school can be open later on can go back to classes and the students will return That is the way to go All right, I'm afraid we'll have to leave that that Chris can they want to thank you so much for your time Wish you had more time with you, but of course we'll do our best to start earlier Next time and we're watching to see how the campaigns Will go Next time when we're with you the campaigns that have been about six days to seven days old We'll see what we'll have transpired by then. Thank you so much. Yeah, quickly before I go It is also advantage we the media should also get ready for it We're not talking about the politicians the media should also get ready so that we will to make sure that all the gladiators Are asked the right questions and they must give us answers to this question. You have a nice day ahead Thank you very much. Chris Cain in Wando Chatted mediator and consulate our guest analyst on off the press this morning.
