I will live without that and we move straight to our guest who is standing by um, and of course, uh, he is Gd johnson. We're glad to have you gd johnson and um, let's start with a big one Coming on the front page of the nation at the punch newspaper. Sorry about that Talking about a grieve national assembly members planning showdown with your governors over the lost ticket Some, you know suspected that the national assembly members reason behind some of the The clauses they included in the initial Electrical act that the president refused to sign Was so that they could be protected from the influence and power of a governor's and thereby having a better chance of returning Back to the national assembly. What do you make of this current situation with the benefit of hindsight? Well, they showed themselves To the electoral act of 2022 and in the process they were looking for the discoverer to be To introduce an amendment which was not him eventually sent to by the president It's a cycle that we have witnessed and we continue to see because the power blocks in the political parties had come So every electoral cycle Ashtray from the members losing out to the governor Has been a cycle that has characterized the point. Hopefully we have a sensible and a The same quality whereby The people themselves will select or elect to represent them and develop them I think the election should be interested in in the election to international assembly We are Government programs are debated Are ready for the Go about it. So But all we have seen He the national assembly become the retirement To be a compensatory The board for for for lower x and that's right So All right, Gita Johnson, let's take a quick look at the leadership newspaper this morning on the leadership newspaper Top right. He talks about the senatorial race and how fallow falls apc over the submission of La one and a Fabio's name for the race I mean Do you agree with him according to him? He said is it's actually he described that as an impunity of the apc to submit their names For the senatorial race, especially when they didn't contest for that election That's right. We have the laws and that's why we have an institution The only one decision we do with that He lost the ability to contest in Zamfara State in 2019 It almost ran into trouble in rivers. They did lost The opportunity to present the candidate across the board. So It's very clear even within happy He spent them Electoral at 10 the hundred and twenty The only 22 electoral office is busy to dress them We need to be called means how how La one I meant la one participated in the The U.N. North senatorial election and how about the participate In the acquire bond not rest senatorial district election Is is the degree of That has characterized the policy if people do not have respect for the constitution of their party When they get to vote then they will not have to expect for the constitution of Nigeria We have said it over and over and over again. How can somebody run for two offices? At the same time in the same electoral cycle So is the person playing lot three? Is he playing lot three? So All right, thank you very much I agree Interesting one Interesting one. Thank you very much Jiri Johnson, let's move on To to more issues the field queues are still here with us in legal state And you need other parts of the country though. It seems to be Reducing a little bit from what I observed this morning, but the leadership newspaper tells us I dedicate some space to this particular Story fuel scarcity Ipman decries profiteering at private depots Um Whilst we may not have an Ipman of you may not be a member of Ipman But I'm sure you can appreciate and are very very aware of the happenings in the sector So what are your thoughts on this because we have not even fully recovered a handled or dealt with the dirty fuel Saga and when we have this fuel scarcity Ipman decries profiteering at a private depots You see as long as you have this system in place, this color All relying on foreign imports and got my go To be in subsidy on petroleum products physical equipment On on premium motorsport, which is petrol We are what we are The best solution to this problem is for government. They simply are not going to succeed in the next two years and we're going to have to go through this pain However, I don't invest this month in Building the refineries across After that Three four five years of you paying my price you start paying But you know what people are benefiting from the Unable to call up system Who is paying with each subsidy president himself Before the president said that if anyone says it's being subsidy So you what you begin to on that now How do we even you look at what they say we consume And Let's quickly show your thoughts on this one. I mean we talked about it The lawyer that appeared in supreme court and his traditional attire What are your thoughts? I mean, well, what do you think about this in it in all of this? He seemed to be protesting the Judgment of the supreme court that's in favor of muslim students who can wear the hijab in legos Well, when you know when Identity into your job You create this type of problem when the supreme court made that How to that you recall this was This And I said it that look We are traditionalist we have we have traditionalism region is not limited to important The People Can move And to Imagine people going to to to courts with their shackles to then going to school with their shackles, you know, what the punch But kind of dressing in What's the essence of uniform in school? What's the essence of It's just that you don't distinguish one from another you don't distinguish them on the base of religion For example, if I'm a muslim, it's easy for me to identify muslim today in my class because they're having a job And I can develop a favoritism to them or if I'm a christian It is once for me to distinguish the muslim from the christian and show favoritism to them and even as a job I'm sitting in God and the God cast this before me And as somebody is putting on a job and someone is not putting on a job So someone is dressing in a traditional religion or what have you is easier for me to lead your personal personal biases to give me to play That's why you have to put on where The same thing people that you can't distinguish on the basis of religion You can't distinguish on the basis of race you can't distinguish on the basis of whatever form of identity you want to use to distinguish people And that's the one that Supreme Court has created and let's continue with you All right, uh, uh, we have a the front page A story on the on the punch newspaper Pay attention to the education sector Poly lecturers meet July 3 may resume strike polytechnic lecturers that is meet July 3 May resume strike and talking about meetings It was a on on On Wednesday after the federal executive council meeting Minister of labor and employment doctor senator doctor Chris singigie addressed the press and told the press that um Asu had been meeting with the federal government they've been meeting with asu and in fact they have a meeting on Thursday And I'm sure you you're well aware of of this development really and uh Asu later replied saying that they were they have no official limitation But the federal government to any meeting will serve on Thursday This coming after education minister damor damo said asu will soon end the strike They make an announcement at the end of the month and as he said hey We have no clear announcement. Why he's speaking for us Chris singigie also made a point at that Uh, fake news briefing or press briefing seen that he has to meet with asu They're going to attend to them that after they give us their money They know he knows that the polytechnic lecturers will come after they're done with the polytechnic lecturers He knows that the doctors will come after they're done with the doctors He knows that the nurses will come and so on and so forth What do you say about the state of education in Nigeria? Especially coming three days this news coming three days after president buahari congratulated Afa, but babalala University and its chancellor for emerging the 400th best university in the world And number one in Nigeria Let's look at them the minister It's better time to talk to Governor, senator, minister Chris singigie just took out The various conferences in this photo public This people are far away from reality They are far far away from reality Clearly we need to have education It's a continent that we have found ourselves in education where we have found ourselves Where people are less concerned with what happened How can you not be concerned? Whereby the minister lecturers will go on strike Doctors will go on strike Internet lecturers will go on strike And someone will see the writing himself as a minister Will be proud to call himself the minister It's his own fortune he's of in another climate he will have resigned That's what I said The failure in Nigeria will be worth failure And we reinforce ineptitude That's just the problem because based on the performance of some of the ministers in their first That in the first time of value administration We are sure that value will not nominate them again If we miss that in the second term But we have the continuity and perpetuity of incompetence at the various level And Nigerian children are paying for it They are destroying the future Look, there's nothing that can redeem the time these kids and these students have lost over time Why did Afro-Malibu people not get ranked on the world and first in Nigeria? Because they don't go on strike They employ people on the basis of competence and merit The people in Afro-Malibu don't go and carry placards or appear on TV programs to do that The VC of Afro-Malibu must come from Afro-Malibu Like the nonsense they had in the University of Efe Where people from Efe were protected I think they are quite proud of it Not if they're in the gene to be the VC of the University of Efe It's not the way our policy has been in the educational sector In the social sector Which sector is actually working in Nigeria? In the power sector All right, quickly let's look at this Feels like we've been avoiding it On the leadership newspaper I can't dare Nigerians with a thought term President Mohammed the Buhari tells the United Kingdom Prime Minister Why should we be talking about the I mean the known already It's very obvious that you know the president should not It's a democratic process We're thinking about the thought term But it feels like we keep talking about what we know already If there's no smoke without fire Because I can't dare That's what the president I can't do No, I won't I'm just analyzing the statement Then in the first instance Why would you entertain Why would you make such a statement If you have not entertained the thought It's only a mad man that talks without thinking Thinking in his eavesdropping Whatever comes out of your mouth in terms of speech Is the product of your thought Are there people thinking about thought term For being in Nigeria That should be a red flag for you to be much more concerned And then look at the second part of the statement The president tried it but it did not end well So if there are positives from the last person that tried it Probably would have tried it now There are some certain things that you don't even entertain Is even if you can see that whoever is thinking of blackness Just the figment of that person's imagination That has never been the grant of an administration of one And there should have been a statement from the presidency With respect to this So Messi You're expressing your thoughts People that are thinking of thought term For the president I don't understand that Nigeria is a consular democracy And it constructs democracy in a step up And the term of this president may end May 29, 2023 And the process to Rebuild this president democratically Are started with the party's families adopted Thank you Jiri Johnson We have to go Thank you very much Thank you for your time Have a fantastic weekend Then we can't wait to have you join us again Next week Thank you so much Well that's the size of our conversation Thank you so much for being part of the press We will return on Monday This is the last quarter week And we take a break now When we return it will be time for us to head straight To our first major conversation right here Where we look at the case with Ike Iquira Maduro And his wife stay with us
