CBN appoints, wants to know being seven others as departmental directors. I think that's really all we can find on the leadership this morning. Good morning to Mr Inayatok. Good morning. It was a pleasure to be on plus TV Africa. Thanks for joining us. There's a couple of very big stories in the headlines this morning. I'm not sure which you would like to start from, the kidnapping of 100 students or the cabinet reshuffle? Let's start with the kidnapping of the 100 students. Well, just for a minute, in the states, the state government and the state police command have said officially it's 73. So all the figures of over 100 are currently unverified. You know, it's so disheartening. The Bible talks about a man that had 100 sheep, not human beings, sheep. And one sheep was missing, one, and he left the 99 and went in search of the one sheep that was missing. Nigeria, we're not talking sheep, we're not talking cattle, we're talking about human beings. And there is, oh no, it wasn't 200, it was just 150. No, it wasn't 150. And these are mind-boggling figures. Not one human being, not five, not 10, not 50. They are saying no, it wasn't 100 and something, it was just 70 something. Human souls, it's disheartening. The extent to which we have allowed human life to be so cheap, such that it's like to a penny. We were in this country when an American, one American, was within our environment and we saw what the American government did. They went out of their way and rescued that one American. On a daily basis, we are losing Nigerians in scores, in tens, if not in hundreds, on a daily basis. I think the time has come when we really need to sit down and listen to your analysis before time. And I could feel also as as he was making sitting very hard statements and you were not too comfortable with it. But let's face this issue. If you have cancer, that cancer is either excised or it spreads. I do not know if we understand what is going on in our country with respect to these terrorists that we are using perfume to get sexy with them and call them bandits. How long is it going to take for the federal government to wake up and look at the north? The north is the... You know we are talking of such a terrible contradiction in this country, I don't understand. Let power go to the north, power to the north, power to the... We keep talking about power to the north. Do these northerners, with all due respect, my brothers and my sisters and brothers in it, do they really care about the people? Does development really count? Does the life of the people really matter to these people that represent the north? Because... So my best friend, I attended a federal government college. So understandably, my worldview is different. My two children are married, I have two boys, they are both married to the north. The wives are from the north. And it really bothers me if they really care about the fact that education is the future of any people and that this will cannot go to school. Did they really sit down and think of the larger implication, the prognosis of what is going on today, not just human life, even the development, the imaginary boys. What is the plan, the policy of government for these young people who are fellow Nigerians? All I'm hearing is about power to the north, power to the north. As a matter of fact, the one person that stood up for these imaginaries was a southerner, president of Good Love Jonathan. He took it as... Look, one of my friends, very, very good friend, he was conducting a speech on a very, very good friend. He was contesting election in the north, governorship. And he said he's not going to win. I asked him why. He said because his policies, he attended King's College. So he thinks in terms of development, he thinks in terms of human resource, he sees the human resource and he thinks in terms of going to disrupt the system so that the children can have a future like his children. And he says he's going to go against the establishment. And as a result, they are going to go out of their way to stop him. That was the most irrational thing I've heard in my life. But that was a sad reality. So when the youth of the north to really sit down and ask themselves a very, very serious question, is there a difference between politics and development? And if there is, which of the lines are they going to go with? Even if somebody must come from the north, what should be the criteria, what should be the quality of such a person? This issue of religion and divide is a Christian. How does that affect the price of getting in the market? If a Muslim can come and give me a good country, so be it. If a Christian can give you a better future, so be it. What do you really want? Let's move away from there. We will revisit that conversation later on in the show this morning. But let's also talk about some of the very big story. That is the cabinet reshuffle. The president has sacked the minister of power and the minister of agriculture, Saleh Maman and Sabu Nanunu, and replaced them with two others. Mohamed Mahmoud, who was the minister of the environment before, now takes over as the minister of power. And then Abu Bakaliyu, who was the minister of the State for Work and Housing, takes over as the agriculture minister. Do you see this as a great step by the current administration? In a sense, yes. In a sense that just the animation of the fact that you underperform, just that animation is likely to get others to sit up. Because Mr President had come to this point where, I mean, something has to make you to do something. My mother used to tell me that the child that never has anything to fear, never amounts to anything in life. That's what my mother used to tell me. It doesn't go in any way and back. The child that has nothing to fear, never amounts to anything. You've got to know that your boss will not take any things. Oh, I trust you. Oh, I trust them. Oh, I know them. Oh, I trust them. Six years, you trust them, and we become the poverty capital of the world. Six years, we become one of the top three most terrorized nations in the world. Six years, you trust them. It doesn't make sense to me. So for me, better late than never. On the positive, I'll say yes, that animation alone will definitely make people to sit up. It will also bring about conversations on excellence or performance within the policy because people are now starting to discuss and they will now start to do analysis of others. They will ask this environment ministry that has been given a bigger role to play in agriculture. Is it out of excellent performance in the Ministry of Environment? Can we really do an analysis of the Ministry of Environment and find that the minister is smelling like a rose on account of which is going to be given agriculture, which is one of the main stages of our economy? So these are questions that we must ask. Minister of State housing, that happens to be my area and I think I will, for reason of propriety and wisdom, withhold my comment on that area. But my prayer is that these people will see their new assignment as a mark of confidence in them and the worst thing they can do to their boss is to make Nigerians feel that the president didn't know what he was doing. But if they come up and really hit the ground running, we will be able to hail the president as the least they can do to their boss. The current administration has just about two years before a new government comes in so I'm not sure how fast they can actually hit the ground or which ground they would hit in the next between now and 2023. But I also want to ask you, how long would you take to make a change if you see that certain persons aren't working in a company or an organisation? From your perspective, would it take you a whole year or two years or five or six? You see, I'll tell you this. I've been so close to government without ever taking up any government appointment. Every government in my state, starting with Obongata, I was one of the closest to him. Coming to my brother Akbabyo, extremely close to him. Coming to Mr Audum, I know the system and I keep making an advice. Number one, in your first term, pretend you don't have a second term. Work so hard, so bad, and let your performance speak for you. When you get into second term, know that it is exit that matters. And if I had my way, if I'm a governor by the grace of God, by the end of the first year in office, I'd already had six years. Those who I would have already now had five years, those that performed well over the period, I'll retain them. But now, on your first year, at the end, start what we call a finishing team. This finishing team are people who are not going to look for office number one. Number two, there are people who are very competent, because by now it's no longer maybe, maybe not. Look at your priority areas. Within the past five years, you would have heard people that you said they are stars. Bring them to your legacy ministries. You're not going to be able to achieve everything. Those hardcore performers, bring them to your legacy ministries, where you want to have what you may call, what you should be remembered for, your legacies. And you are not going to do that two years to go, because election would have started by that time. Right now, Mr President has waited so, so, so late. By the end of this year, one of the ministers that was appointed, I told somebody I could never accept to be appointed a minister two years to the end of administration. I wouldn't accept it. The reason is that in the ministries, there's what they call managing the boss. At that time, they know that you're on your way out. And there's no second term. So there's no fear of you. They can manage you. They can play you before you know. They are looking for files. Before you know, you bring up a memo. They are telling their... They call it managing the boss. They manage you to exit you. They don't fear you. They can actually ignore you. So when you come up now as a minister, number one is that the civil servants don't take you serious because they know you're on your way out. Number two is that the politicians are starting business and their one is like, guy, get us money for election. Get us money for election. So they are not thinking in terms of development for you. They are thinking in terms of putting pressure on you to bring out money for election. So at the end of the day, you discover that you achieved next to nothing. That is a sad reality in Nigeria and it's a cycle that I hope we can break. So the ministry staff are not going to be listening to these new ministers. They're just going to manage them and blah, blah, blah. You're just coming in as a new person. You want to start to study to understand what is going on. You're not going to find the information you need that is important. They're not going to give it to you. And secondly, those things you want to hit the ground running to achieve things, politicians are not going to allow you. They're like, my guy, election is coming. Election is coming. Don't let us do. They will put such terrible pressure on you that you'll be so distracted. So I don't see much that this is what I'm going to do. You should have done this at least a year ago before politics started. And when the civil servants seem new that you have a little bit of time, right now they know you don't have time. So they are going to manage you. They are going to tell you things that are sexy. They are going to show you areas you can make small money here and there. And if you want to look at areas that you must stop there, and so that things are going to frustrate you, at the end of the day you achieve nothing. OK, so finally, I want us to ponder on this important question if the president is understood. Because he's been speaking recently and he's been saying that the full impact of his administration would only be felt after. And that he's not been out for short cuts, but he's been taking the due diligence and making sure that his projects have long-term benefits. So do we misunderstand the president when we criticise him? Him. You know, a former president, Jonathan said, when I leave office, you do not go miss me. You understand me? He said it. And the jury is out there. Are we missing him or not? Mr president has said that the full impact of what I'm doing will be felt when I leave office. Now that could be positive, it could be negative. The dead body is going to be felt when he leaves office. I'm telling you it's going to be felt when he leaves office. The terrorists that have been emboldened when he leaves office and another person comes in, they can be peace in this country within four to six months. Take that to the bank. They can be peace in this country within four to six months of somebody who comes in and says enough is enough that nonsense is going to stop. The body language that we are talking about is somebody who says, look, I'm not taking this nonsense anymore. So the full impact of Mr president, you know, romancing seemingly, let me be careful to recount it, seemingly romancing on account of which this was becoming so emboldened and so brazen in their approach to ravaging this nation. The full impact will be felt after he's left office. It is after he's left office that we'll know whether these terrorists were afraid of him or they were emboldened by him. But there are also certain things that he's done that are the full impact in government. There are certain foundations that you lay that the result will not come immediately. And Nigerians also have to learn to not put on view pressure on administrations for here and now. In the Bible there's a statement that is recorded and I think we should understand that in government. It says, Paul sowed Apollo's watered on account of which God ultimately gave the increase. There needs to be a very good communication and I blame this on the minister of communication, not just communication, information. Because he needs to let us know that these are foundations for a forced-to-rebuilding or foundations for a sky rise, which is going to be maybe 20 floors or 50 floors, and that this foundation is going to take four years to lay just foundation. When people know that and you come to build a superstructure, they don't give the credit to only you that has built this first structure they can see, they give the credit to the man who laid the foundation on account of which the superstructure is being built. But Nigerians is like, I want to see, want to build a bridge, build roads. When you invest in education, imagine that you invest in primary education now. You're not going to see the effect until they get into secondary school which is going to be like six years after when you're on your way back. You're not too much sure until they get into university which is going to be like over ten years or thereabouts, which is far above the span of your two sessions. But then we know that a foundation, a solid foundation is being laid who will be able to appreciate when the person leaves office. Thank you very much, Ezekiel Iantok. Thank you.
