 It's the breakfast in Plastivia, Africa, and we take you through the pages at this point of the national dealies. We'll set off with the leadership newspaper this morning. We'll also have the punch amongst orders. Now, G.D. Johnson is on standby. He joins the conversation in no time. G.D. Johnson, good morning, and thank you for joining us. OK, well, we get him as soon as we're able to have him connect with us on the leadership newspaper. Political parties reject drug tests for aspirant, and that's a bold caption for the leadership. Underneath says it's an affront, one NDLEA, not a toy with politicians. CSOs divided over planned drug tests. Tests not to stigmatise aspirants is the NDLEA. So, I mean, the back in 40 yesterday, he talked about this. But of course, no one was anticipating that you're going to have these politicians or the aspirant. These aspirants are agreeing to this. Now, 2023 presidency, again, northern elders say no to zoning. What is the party saying? Nobody can reek 2023 elections. President Mohammad Buhari tells politicians, and the likes of Nyay Tok would say, it's the best thing that happened to Nigerians. I wish they knew. Denies ordering Senate to remove Section 84 and Subsection 12 from electoral act. That's what this rider is quoted to say underneath that board caption. Also talking about 2023, but this time the Niger 2023, blueprint publisher picks APC nomination form. Everyone can pick a form. I take a 6 right of fest refusal from PDP. That's what also you find here this morning on the leadership. Now, these are some of the headlines. But just before we move away from the leadership, Cano, cross-revert, true example of national unity, Emy Bairu, is quoted to say. I'm sure a lot of people might want to argue with that particular postulation that's been put out by the Emy Bairu. That's the much we can take this morning on the leadership. Away from the leadership, I will slide on next to the punch newspaper. The main caption is on the presidency. PDP reps, sons, one Jonathan groups or group threatens suit. What's some riders there? Expressed in Kent contest, it is risky he'll be ridiculed. Falano. Y meccan gigae. Reject APC. Bohari's offer it is offensive. This graceful to all of us PDP reps will go to court if Jonathan joins race. We won't tolerate impunity. Group is quoted in that. The latest in the answer is on above the must head of the punch newspaper. Asu, NLC plans solidarity protests three day one in strike. Train attack terrorists release newborns picture. Can intensifies prayers. I deserve right of first refusal. Attic who tells PDP. Ramos stories NNPC three orders generate 28.02 trillion narrow in three years. According to a report by 80 65 core members to repeat service in on door. All this security challenges. Threats to Nigeria's existence. PDP leaders will work to rescue Nigeria says Makhinde. U.I. students disappears from Lagos construction site. Family panics. Ogun police parade 69 suspected ritualist kidnappers. Others woman pays Lagos traditionalists. 26 billion Nair mercy. It's actually a woman for spiritual cleansing. One person actually not to think it was several but it's never run. Found out it was just one person. Well people do have so much money to throw away. AFC others emerge. Preferred be this for 12 federal highways. All right Nigeria's proven gas reserves worth over 803.4 trillion dollars. That's according to government federal government the class Monday Tuesday public holidays. And those are all of the stories on the front page of the punch newspaper this morning. All right we move away from the punch. Let's quickly take a look at the daily independent newspaper just before we move away. On the daily independent newspaper Ramadan Airlines raised fares to another state by 167 percent. That's boldly written and they say fair determined by demand and supply. That's what you find there. Also on the daily independent Jonathan not qualified to contest for president again. If I'll noise quoted on that it will constitute the crocs of our conversation. As we proceed 2023 presidency. Give me right of fast refusal article begs. The PDP leaders. Also Labour threatened strike over federal governments negligence of us. It might just be a long one. And absolute value resumes suspended strike next week. Federal government state and local government share 19.01 trillion era mineral revenue in three years. That's also another caption. And you find another board headline saying total to put its stake in joint venture on sale. It might just be some business under editorial reports right here. Buhari vows to protect vote of Nigerians in 2023. And all the quarters would say the president saying nobody can wreak these elections. Also vice president debonks to the boost influence in becoming vice president. OK. These are really interesting days and times. These are some of the headlines this morning on the daily independent newspaper. And of course we also have the nation newspaper this morning. Buhari to court electoral act 84 subsection 12 on constitutional. In security sector to arrest and sleep in Niger Republic. Terrorists release photo of baby born by hostage. All right. Most stories on the nation. A PDP sued for her in May 16. APC drops guideline on resignation awaits court verdict. And the F that's not an elders forum chair urges parties this represential tickets open. PDP screams 48 aspirants for governor in southwest south east. Bola Rumi challenges marketing day. Abakiri loses bail battle. ICPC probes FMC bus. Over 176 million narrow COVID-19 cash. Let's see if we can stick all the stories on the nation newspaper this morning. Falunau a Jonathan barred by constitution from contested. OK. Shut down of 840 megawatts plants to worsen power outage. Those are the bulk of the stories on the front page of the nation newspaper this Friday morning. We do have GD Johnson joining the breakfast at this point in time for his thoughts on the papers and looking at some of the top stories on our national dealies. Once again, thank you for joining us GD Johnson. So, um, let's quickly share your thoughts on this one. It talks about the politicians saying they will not adhere to the drug test. And that's on the leadership newspaper this morning. So yes. The drug enforcement agency had mentioned that there was going to be a drug test for politicians as a matter of fact that returned to the APC. Now, the politicians are saying that's never going to happen. So there's a back and forth at this point in time. What are your thoughts on this new development and the actions from, you know, the politicians? I think that the national drug law and the drug management agency are standing. They are standing in the room before we are. They are on the front stage. And I think that they are just trying to stick to anything. And that's why I said I'm not fighting the APC. And then I stand in the door back at this point in time. What are your thoughts on this new development and the actions from the politicians? I think that the party should be a project for the political, for the university and the country in the future. I don't think it's really the problem here. And the L.E. to interfere in a part of the parties and internal parties at this point. Probably after that, it's the candidates and then it becomes part of the process of creating the result. For the candidates that are constructing the lesson. But for the primary, what is the result of N.D.L.E. in the internet culture of the political party? I mean, there are other things that we should be rather focusing on. Because the attention on the political party. I think that's not the attention that has been taken by N.D.L.E. as my president. What's the result of that? The president is actually the main focus. P.D.P. Reps, S.A.N.S. rather, one Jonathan group threatened suit. It's all about his eligibility to contest the 2023 election as the president. And a lot of people and a lot of groups are reacting. How do you reason, JJ? Well, I saw the rights of the monarch of the population. And as we did in his life, it's the political plush that contests the election. Whether I want to go to a city that has been fighting, demonizing in the important, or I want to go back to the community that was a platform community that led the press and the rights of them and then the president. As well as that thing of no bias. So, the content of the issue is respect to whether he could contest a deal and to not contest it in the left of the political party. But that's not the example that I'm talking about. It's entitled to contest the election. It's nearly completed. And it's not in second. If you have no relation with 2015, we'll have completed it as the president, the federal republic for 2017. So, those groups, it's not the political party. It comes from the side whether it's eligible or not. But for me, that was in the first instance. It depends a bit on people. A little bit when you do that, you know. How would this stop people from, for example, a government that has nothing, and then they have to complete this demo. I said, because it's the only white, it cannot seek the election. You give me the wings, another election. That means it's impregnating on the right. It's affecting to not have to be based on different, coming from different views. But who do you know that you do that tomorrow? That's on the people. So, I think that we have very interesting conversations on the papers this morning. On the leadership, you have another caption saying, 2023 presidency, again, nothing elders say, no zoning. Well, there's no zoning in 1999. There's no provision. The zoning arrangement, the PDP's arrangement, was PDP arrangement to use the zoning structure for their party. In 2014, you will recall that in Kwakwasu, I feel cool. And then one of them is the one that came in for the first time in my life. It's a culture. So, it's a culture now. Contested the two-peak supermari in Lagos in 2014. So, in 2019, the state was left to look for Bwari to pick the ticket for the APCI and Bwari at the coup ticket back of PDP. However, we're based on the norm. But politics are not based on norm. Politics are based on respect. If you're based on norm, you don't think that the party will pick their presidential candidate. Both parties will pick their presidential candidate from the south. But in 2019, the presidential candidate of PDP was from the north. However, politics does not work in that. That is the problem here. There is a need for us to have a conversation. And that's how we move this decision forward. But if you ask me the meaning of what better fit as professional president's vision idea, I think we need to set the same federal parameter. We need to do away with this term by term presidency. We need to embrace the principle of merit. We need to elect leaders based on their confidence and not based on where they are from. The reason why we are found ourselves now is that we elect people on the basis of sentiment. And sentiment cannot stop marginal problems. If the best man is from the north, let him be the president. If he's from the south, let him be the president. If he's from the south, let him be the president. If he's from the north, let him be the president. And I think that the way we should be looking at who becomes the president of Nigeria, I will do away with this term by term. Of what benefit has why the president need to be put from president? Of what benefit has about the president been to people from a good state? The interesting thing was not that. Y Adrawa Siwm Cwynag Threyd worries from Cwynag Threyd. Of Asvandhwch Siwm Cwynag Threyd. Now, personally, the vice president has relocated politically to a good state. To a good state by terms in this present democratic position and not in presidency for eight years will get vice presidency for eight years. Mae yw un'r perffidd ddweud am y dylai gyntaf ar gweithio.

Well, for me, the opportunity is about what it is doing in my place, that it is feeling about that to me that some group of politicians do not think that they have the money to make this decision. So that's, I don't know the entire thing that people don't know, said that I have the money in the bank, I have the money in the bank, whether it's out of the flow, the dummy of Bwari, Bwari has to have the money. Bwari has to have the money. It's not about goods, it's about public health. It's about people that have the capacity to solve a problem. Now, Bwari, the majority of those that are fighting themselves, as presidents, are coming. I've been part and part of the political process. I've almost been part of the sense of what we have to show for democracy. So that is for people like us, people, and people who are fighting themselves to want to become president of Nigeria at what stage of their life. So, let's play a game of the people to decide, and let's play for the delegates of both parties to decide who will be their flag bearer for the election. But as far as I'm concerned, I know who I vote for when the election comes. And I come here to be clear that I vote according to my conscience, I'm not based on the view of the political sentiment, I'm not based on the view of the political party, but I vote on the view of competence, character, and integrity. Jide Johnson, when do you think we're going to get off with... I mean, it's going to be over with ASU and the federal government. It's really sad. I'm asking when do you think that we will get over with the ASU and the federal government saga? I mean, it's telling a lot on the education sector. When the Minister of State for Education doesn't obtain the form to accept an interest to present the election, when the Minister of Labour and Productivity also indicated the future, someone was given the opportunity to manage the department of government, and they have shown the lack of capacity to manage the department of government. And that person has the gum shot to say that they want to be confident. So there's no ending to ASU strike, because government is not engaging them. The people that we have elected are not engaging them. The people, those who are elected are not engaging them. So both ASU and federal government are two perpendicular lines. And we have perpendicular lines that can never meet ASU. And we know it's infinity. So there's no conversation at all about the election. Electrally, I'm completing, I'm taking over. About first, the political class at the start. What the election is in is in place. They don't care about anything. They care about those. Now, it's to say that the Minister of State for Education has no choice of state, including the Minister of Labour and Productivity, that they could even have that thought to say that they want to contest for the president when they can manage the educational sector. They will not commit dual economy into their own hands. What will they do with it? All right, Gide, so before we wrap up this session, let's talk about, do you really think it is fair that the airlines are talking about demand and supply and, right now, they are increasing their fares by 167% to just northern states, really? Are they, in order, in your opinion? Well, thank you. What are you going to do with this, Minister? I was causing my colleagues to complain that they were worried. They were worried that they needed money to make it to a salary that would provide them as kind of a thing. They found out the cost of living. It's much earlier, everybody. The salary of living you buy, you bought for $20,000. That worry and I think that you need to campaign for $20,000. It's not for $18,000 now. So, what is affecting the airline? Are they going to run as a lot? I knew of a standard of hospitality business. I went to his place. The pitch of the game, because the cost of business, business is almost unaffordable. So, you run a business as a lot of you run a business. So, if you factor in, I'm sure, those airlines must have done factor analysis. They must have taken into consideration their income and expenses. And they want the bottom line. So, we don't put the blame on the airline operators. We put the blame on the federal government itself. What is government doing to amenerate the pains of an average Niger? What is the federal government doing to provide incentives for people running their business in the country? So, there's no bailout. In other countries, there are bailouts for critical sector of the economy. What were the bailouts for? We just saw them sharing money. Money that cannot be accounted for. And then, on Justin, you can't blame the airline operator. It is practically almost impossible to run any kind of business in Nigeria. I think that this might just be a plus for us. I mean, just quickly. We know that we're going to be talking about this in the next minute. And the issue of Jonathan saying that, you know, Falana saying that Jonathan is not qualified to contest for the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023. What are your thoughts? It is a coach that has decided that it is not the opinion of anybody. So, it's for the coach to decide. Every Niger has a right to contest. The Netherlands has only contested for that topic now. And I think he has a right to contest. But if anybody feels otherwise, the government will approach it. And the government will decide whether it's qualified or not qualified to contest. However, I think that we need to challenge the positionality of that law itself. That law that was signed by the National Assembly, need to be tested at the courts. If you hear that, that law is constitutional or unconstitutional. That's my view on it, with respect to that. But we do not have good luck. After all, his name is good luck. Because he wants to contest the election. But Nigeria is ready for him. It's there for him to decide. If you're still waiting for people to prop him to contest the election, then he's not a man of goodness. He's not sure if he doesn't even know what he wants to do. So, we don't want a lot of time for the president. We want people that have looked at their minds. All right, thank you so much, Jonathan. I'm back on my computer. I saw a different type of person. You must run. You must run. You must run on your phone. You must run on your phone. All right, Jydei Jonathan. Thanks for your thoughts that you have shared today. Jydei Jonathan is the chief lecturer at Nigerian Institute of Journalism. Thanks for your time this morning. All right, it is to the Breakfast and Plus TV Africa. We'll take a very short break. We'll come back and talk about the eligibility of a former person. We're running for 2023 presidency in a moment. You don't want to miss to join us again.
