Yes I wasn't at Eagle Square but I was at the Alfaibam stadium in Uyunu where I watched the Australian ceremony of the Alfaibam state, the Uyunu Alfaibam state of Umo and now it was colourful as colourful as it is what you saw at Eagle Square maybe because some of us know that it was well crowded. So we decided to leave Abuja for now and go to where it's a bit more quiet but yes they expected the everything the match was in Abuja and the ceremony came out seamlessly and we have it this morning and we have the president a brand new president I used to say in look up a pan you know Pan Peugeot in those days when you say pan it's a brand new president who seems to want to hit the ground running with policy statements which he has already given out and we hope that will go up to give up to expectation and most of the promises he made we don't want to see the promises that we had in 2015 and people know that we are seeing the problem we had and sure we had got that. Yes promises were made to us that we didn't ask them what kind of promises so they gave us hope, we didn't ask them the level of hope that we could get and at the end of it all we end up short side of the stick as it were as president Muamanu who had made his exit yesterday after eight years in Sadu and the president came out yesterday and made it with an announcement was that Petro Subsidy was gone and the way he put it I read it so he said that there was no provision for Petro Subsidy from June so he wasn't the one that removed Petro Subsidy it was Muamanu contrary to what Petro was saying but Petro Subsidy was removed by the government of President Muamanu who stopped the talks of sitting at the end of May or June now so you see that the queues have returned and that is what we are going to face in the next few weeks and then we are just waiting to see how President Muamanu will be able to tackle that. Okay everybody is saying he has hit the ground running and one of the things that he has done to show that he is very proactive is that he has appointed three people key members of his kitchen cabinet as Morin would put it including Delea Lackey and two others you have seen the names you have seen what they have been in the past to the president and two the people that they did that job for like you know if they were in Lagos how they impacted the lives of Lagos people and all that so would like your comment on the first three appointments of the president? Well I am a journalist and also Petro, no I am not going to roam in that place as of this morning because there has not been any official statement to that effect so whatever we are reading has not been made of circulations and I guess somewhere this morning we are supposedly discussing of all I meant to know Delea Lackey said that it was fake news that no appointments have been made but there is no button fire so it might just end up having this name released today but officially there have not been any official statements because there has always been an official statement and somebody had to sign up on that statement that is out in words so but Delea the name has been put forward the only person I know in that list is Delea Lackey who was the commissioner for information and he was also particularly the spokesperson of the ABC presidential campaign although we also have 500 candidates Delea Lackey was more out in his handling of that of that office during the campaign so the president of the president is going to pick him as the spokesperson of his government that would be asked in Iran to go as it were but we just have to wait for official announcements but Delea the key appointment will be made by today I am sure the first you know whenever the government comes the first thing they perform news positions have to be taken immediately one is the media spokesperson of the government is doing this chief of staff to the president or the government as it were Delea is going to be chief of protocol and as it is three as a person when it comes to appointments and they are the first three line of defense for the ABC government so we said that officially whoever the three were let to be officially made and once it is officially made the person who is going to sign up on that first statement is the spokesperson of the president so let us wait and see what happens although there will be some reason to be a national newspaper that publish that story if you go to the website they have removed it I just check on this money as of those companies and I know that they will be removed that so let's wait and see but I am not denying that the story is true but I am saying that there is no official confirmation to that Okay so I am still on the punch newspaper you have Tinnubu Obasaki, others mourn as the opposite dies at seven to one Oh it is quite unfortunate that Dr. Regan and the question they might have pioneered West Bank Web's radio station in Nigeria as his leads is a very big industry and to him being the first in the industry would be an industry We have so much passion and so much love and we saw what he went through as the primary private radio station in the 90s how the military military, what kind of work did the military do to establish the radio power several times and the military didn't show up at the radio station and they were very new to television to AIT so when he was KVS it was just a one-on-one It was like how we told the military staff of that communication to confirm through the radio networks and the deputy director which had one of the deputy directors confirmed to me that which means that a formal announcement and in five minutes that statement came in That was when we went on and it was just unfortunate from the news I would get in which it was He died by exercising his treadmill and then when he went to the hospital he died so although he has been under the weather for some time for some weeks but he did just what the source told him I had to go out to the family and also to do that communication His impact in the broadcast sector is greatly missed, always respected, a great man that he was Well yesterday I was the swearing-in of the president and he outlined a lot of things as his plans for Nigeria One of the things we were talking about was the fact that you have already said something about the fact that the out-gone administration removed fuel subsidy so it is not his making I don't know if you were justifying the fact that he has accepted hoop-line and sinker what the previous administration did whether it is going to be bad for Nigeria or good for Nigeria He didn't have a say in it if you're comfortable with that Other things that he also mentioned is that he hopes to grow the economy of Nigeria such that the GDP will be up to 6% That is a tall order but it's realizable and he also said there will be food security, unified exchange rate, 1 million jobs in digital economy and so many promises that he made Nigerians have been asking the questions what is the marked difference from the promises that we started hearing from 2015 which he himself also was promising alongside the president, the out-gone president and all other APC So how confident are you that he can fulfill these promises when his party's administration could not fulfill the ones they gave us from 2015? What amount of confidence do you have? Yes, you know there came a 25-point change and I said we need as a rich kind of change and we are going to get to that positive and negative change That was a mistake we made and one of the people made the change in 2019 they said it was hope and we are so hopeful and we are hoping to get so hopeless We came out and said his plan is to renew hope and we are looking forward to it We heard the government saying that we are going to get 10,000 megawatt every year and we are going to get 80,000 megawatt by the time that it will be Today we are going to have about 24,000 megawatt This was a great job, about 3 million jobs We have one of the highest global interest in the world and we have more ideas on that And the government is just using up around that 32 million So I said we are going to do refineries and we are going to come around before that we have today we can come and we are going to find the same group of people They may not be 40 binaries or a casino and they treat it like that we are still dependent on the importance So, these are some of the key areas that the government made So I am very very skeptical So what is going to be these politicians come with their promises and say I am very skeptical because now it is a promise and they fail Let us see who, we said we are going to get 1 million jobs, I don't know where he is going to get that from But let's see if I can make it, don't forget that this is somebody that has been getting ready for this job I think he has been more prepared for the job than what was practically the first problem The president in 2015, after about three or four attempts When we were in our interest, we started to learn that Thinibu was a senator, he was a governor and now he is the president He said he knew no home, so he took my ride, that's what he can do But I take most of his promises with me just thought I would rather believe that personally if I have my way There are two key areas or three key areas I think it's important Number one is power, if you can get power right then the economy starts to revive itself Two is employment, if you can get employment, right Then we also will make it And then the economy, the economy encompasses so many things, so many things people But if you drive the economy there, then the economy will be created and there will be restoration So what I think, I hope I said it at the same time, but it's just a good point So it's nice that we are going to sit together in that one key area Alright, there's a bit of a glitch there, which question is going to be fixed If there are two key areas, and if there's one power, another one take on distance 10 By now, which have been home and drive in our distance best, those are the issues as it were And we don't have to, are you going to be there? Yes we are, clearly Yes, so if we are taking things on the stride and taking, if we are like, look around when the, what is the, when the messenger was in office He was able to handle the area of telecommunication and to do that so happy group we are seeing in the telecommunication sector So power to me is key, if this government can be able to handle the issue of power effectively then I'm sure that the economy will be the people best At this particular some of the rhetorics and promises, just let's put and see how it goes Yeah, I guess that's the position where we are at the moment, let's wait and see Let's move over to another headline there, which is San Uluwab Yondu Sworn into, in for second term, Zampara Governor Lamence Anti-treasurer You were in Aquabomb state, tell us how, how was it, did he inherit an anti-treasurer too? Did the Aquabomb state governor inherit an anti-treasurer? Okay, perhaps he didn't hear the headline I read out, San Uluwab Yondu Sworn in for second term Then Zampara Governor Lamence Anti-treasurer Yeah, so I'm wondering, I'm wondering since you were in Aquabomb to witness the Sworn in, whether he also inherited, if you know Aquabomb, I'll tell you that, whatever I'm going to be, Aquabomb seems to be one of the most progressive states in Nigeria I was shocked by what I saw here, my brother, he knew very well, he was out of this audience, he knows Is it, it is much much, our shop, I read the government has been very good at the basic infrastructure I met I saw here when I gave the rules, I've been very very good, and so many infrastructure that the government of in my knowledge would run Was able to create people of Aquabomb state, and it was just taken away, Aquabomb very good, I was in since 1999 And he also saw how the person in Aquabomb did a wonderful job for maybe for eight years that he was in Aquabomb So in coming up in Aquabomb state, I'm sure it's lucky, it's one of the lucky ones because a good foundation has been there for him I was in some of the, after the same money at the stadium, I moved to the centre of central party for the former governor He was the local government that was there, and was also a banquet against the individual And he read a lot of things which had to be confirmed by the real governor, and I think Aquabomb is a good hand So Aquabomb is a different government, and I don't forget that the surface that Governor has been running, I've been running for the chairman of ESC And the chairman of ESC said that an alleged 70 billion euro fraud has been, an alleged 70 billion euro fraud has been committed by the former governor And that has been the reason why there has been this issue between him and the chairman And he was the government that demanded to be done the last from him, that is still being risked So it's quite unfortunate, so many of the government's income problems are going to happen And one of the examples, the top of Nigeria, was the top profile of Nigeria The death profile that President Obama had to worry about this government, I wonder how they would say it's true Which is, I'm not in agreement with the government, with the kind of death profile that we have currently That has risen to some say it's about 90 trillion, it's about 80, and what that has obsessed so far So if you see how much we are using to service our death profile on a monthly basis, it is so, so difficult So just as it's a liberal drug, it's a sub-state, but nobody will take them for the job Nobody must be the one that says they want to take out this drug, and I'm sure as far as whatever We take out in our building the assets, so we take out in our building the assets That would be an excuse for them not to come They don't need the ground for it, and look at areas where they can be able to make some level of fortune For the problems of that people, they don't depend on our budget every month Why they don't depend on our budget every month, those are not going to be the problem Indeed, we want to see the calibre of leaders we are going to have this time around Last time you were here, you talked about all the possibilities that there are in some of these states to generate funds internally So let's wait and see what they can do, and as Bala Tinibu, the president, has said He took this responsibility upon himself, and I'm sure you're not pitying him, he knew what he was getting into They know what they're getting into, let's see what they will do with it Yeah, well, we are resisting the urge to keep asking you questions There are very many headlines that we could have talked about, but we are out of time unfortunately So we would like to just thank you for being a part of our show Keep eating all the chicken, and forgetting about us Anyway, Chris, it was so good having you, it's always good having you on the show And we wish you a safe journey home when you're ready to return Thank you very much Okay, that was Chris Wandoo, a member of the Chattat Institute of Abitrators in the UK He was talking to us from Oyu, and we'll take a short break And when we return, we'll be looking at something else We'll be looking at the economic future of Nigeria under a new presidency Stay with us
