 Welcome back to the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. It's now time for Off The Press, a segment where we analyze the day's headlines. Mr. Chris Oando, publisher of CKN News. Good morning, thank you for joining us. Morning, thanks for having me. Morning, Chief Sir. Let's begin with the Daily Sun newspaper. The headline reads, 2023, northern leaders okay, southeast, northeast, north central. Ahanez, it disagrees with Governor Bello on rotational presidency as a Queer-Major Advocate single-term. Front-page editorial, no, to anti-media bills. Nigeria's democracy better off with free press, that's according to Governor Fahemi.

In Namdi Kandus Trial, federal government welcomes Ohanez monitoring team. And those are the ones on the Daily Sun. All right, moving on now to the punch newspapers. So we can find over here, the big one. That says manufactured imports increase to 41 trillion Naira. Nigeria exports 4 trillion Naira worth of goods. Secondhand vehicles, motorcycles, vaccines, antibiotics, dominate Nigeria's imports. Our goods are of high standards, but environmental constraints drive up costs, say the manufacturer's association of Nigeria. Also, federal government halts refineries privatization, says a Jakota steel problem is complex. Bandits expose seam NIN linkage failure, police can't track gunmen. Also on the Pontus morning, petrol subsidy ends after Buhari signs PIB, says minister. And Bajabiabina queries media bills sponsor reps to remove contentious clauses.

And also Senate decides honor chair's fate today, we can condemn nomination. 2023, Honeze attacks Billu. Governors insist rotational presidency unconstitutional. All right, I think these are the, okay, well there's this one here, Ireland-based fans, take down Babajiya Shah's GoFundMe page following outrage. Those are the stories on the punch. I'm lastly on the Guardian newspaper. Nigerians borrow to feed as food prices soar amid stagnated income. 10 feared killed, houses raised in fresh Kaduna attack. So all who orders the rest of free traffic robbers on our chair's appointment is Inaq commissioner badge for democracy says we key. All your begins contacts tracing of index delta variants records to death. And an editorial on the same lines as the other papers, who is afraid of free press? Yes, I want to do a good morning again. Thanks for being here. Thank you. I think we can still throw in the nation or one of the people. So I wonder, I think we can kick off right after, there's something on the nation here. Says Inaq job, hope dims for nominees on our chair and Adam. DMO offers 150 billion federal government bonds or shouldn't get 69 caretaker council chairmen. APC to begin Congresses on July 13th or 31st, I beg your pardon. Media don't want to be regulated, says Babajiya Mila. And also, there's a North central leaders clash over power shift. PDP urges courts to sack Zanfar governor. And lastly, abducted a mayor of Kajiru released. Walk on once again. Go ahead, Mr. Wando. Yes, you understand me, it's critical. For the first time, you don't have something to think about. And that is the arrest on Amroba's criminals at the New York State government. Yes, there's some in Kajiruta. It's a we're going to look at a race on which is a must to show me that I said, oh, it's easy to arrest robbers or what is it that doesn't have job or work. Once you become a victim, you don't know how important what you have not to test. Myself, about two to go, I had to come outside and make contact or I had to contact those same good loans. Along that stretch, I was just coming from TVC, I was re-planning the path just as I'm doing most of it now. I know my way of just about nine a year. And I was confronted by good loans on Nassish meeting with the hotel gates seven o'clock and they're a long stretch. They just, they keep themselves along the stairs and they just beat them very good random attack them. So, they just didn't come out, try to run this man around the area. And I don't think it's telling them from doing what they are doing. One of the reasons for the consistent attack is because of that is the construction of that group that is a very long and after from go to get to go into a new world tournament and break. So, people say the match up is not just the government match up. Some of them who haven't and they come as for when I don't want to just smash your screen or your mirror and attack you. I think we should learn more in this manner along that, and this is also happening along the, what should our S&S be heading towards my team. So, it's coming in now that the government has himself I'm sure there's something on about it. Really, we hope something should be done about it because I mean, if the governor and his convoy were not passing that route, we only can imagine what would have happened to that man, you know, or the victims of that particular guy Brandish and Damashetti. So, indeed, we do need more policemen deployed along the roads. You know, we see them at some checkpoints and you know what the police would definitely expect of you asking you for tips and bribes. So, yes, we do need people, more policemen on that stretch of the road. And on the Daily Sun newspaper, there's a story here that we see. It's a reaction of the Northern leaders to the meetings that the leaders in the South have been having. And basically here, they say they've reached the consensus to say that, you know, the presidents in 2023 should come from the Southeast, the Northeast, or the North Central. But they say that their emphasis should be on the North Central because, according to them, most of Nigeria's presidents from 1999 have been from the South. How do you see this seen as or is it is not disagreeing with this rotational presidency issue with some kind of a billet? Well, I don't know why the Northern leaders believe that they have the sole right to determine who or what Nigeria's president is. It's not just Nigeria's who determine. But in each one and that, the political parties according to what we read, as I did tonight, not that it wasn't that your person, unlike the other women that we tried to have to have been with the university. In 1999, I was in, however it is, out of the best. I knew what happened. I knew that there was a government a gentleman between the South and the South and not them that the presidency should be rotation after the North should move to the South. So what the Northern leaders are thinking is like it's another North of North. President Mouhari have had this issue of going to have a special eight years after 2023 and automatically the presidency ought to move out to the South. But it also depends on the political parties. Not also, forget that some of the questions we're just asking you for. Don't know where time is present. The MPC have a moment that you're right to say that they are zoning residencies to the South, but none of them have been comment to say that. They are zoning their presidencies to the South. Two don't know what the other political parties are saying. But the Southern governors are not and also the majority of them to stem firm that next president must come from the South. Which means that irrespective of the political party anywhere to the party, probably of the two dominant parties that also will take pressure candidly from the South, probably that they have to vote. So that is our best. And it's the idea, I wanted to ask you to say one day is to be short, one, two, two. That's a high vote for me. I don't think any political leader and not comment on what I said that may be presented to you. President Buwari, as I mentioned initially, has taken it on the note for eight years. So everything and family also details that we should go to the South. All right. Well, let's say there's always going to be that, like you mentioned, it's a gentle man's agreement. It's not necessarily in the constitution. So let's see how politics and political interests will play out with the next elections. Let's also quickly speak with regard security now. The emir of Kajiru was regained freedom. If you remember over the weekend, it was kidnapped along with 13 others, I believe. You know, what's your reaction to that? This is the problem between the emir of Kajiru's release and the very early parts of it. So when I saw the deal of the man crying and the emir of Kajiru's release, people didn't even go in on it. I'm sure you must have seen it. Yeah, the man was crying and then that's what made it stop me. And here's the release, but I don't know that 13 other families have also been released and those who are still in captivity and either the situation is going on. I hope they've also been released. But just as it may be, more people are still in camp and they've been adopted in the north, across the country and that's what made it go. The problem of it's across the mass it's where. And then our secretive agency, the Hanika and I don't know what to do, it changed the service teams, changed the special general police and that must be happening and that to me is worrisome. And as I already said, that was to be dashing. Probably we don't have the dashing because we don't have the details of the probability of having a lot easier to be as moving. And those who are in the mass it's really not an enigmatic of our chances to me and the governor of the state. Don't forget that camp must, as it will, have become the bedrock or hotbed of insecurity in the country now. And that to me is very, very, and by the last count in the United States, the U.N. came out with a report that I think last year, we had about a mere 50 student that we are keeping adopted in the north and that to me is very, very worrisome. We still have about 120 from a better college and that's why the governor hasn't done about that. So let's produce that in the end and release and I hope that that's also released. Okay, so still talking about security matters, we saw that on the punch newspaper. There's a story here about how NIN sim linkage basically isn't helping in solving crime in Nigeria. The story reads, bandits exposed sim linkage failure, police can't strike gunmen. So it basically is a story where the punch basically chronicles experiences of people who have had loved ones kidnapped and they basically gave the number of the bandits to the police. I mean, this is the number that the bandits used to contact them. They gave those numbers to the police but they did nothing about it. They chronicle about three or four stories of different people who had different experiences and just got experts to give their thoughts on this and they basically said that this NIN sim linkage has done nothing to improve security because even though the police have the number of the bandits where they can easily check what name was the sim registered in and easily find their address and try to apprehend them that nothing really was done. So do you think we still need to give the sim NIN process more time or should the police already be working to make sure that the apprehend criminals using this new NIN process? Some of what we are very scared to find the NIN of communication was a reason why they have it. Why don't I use them? Or make sure that they have it. And they are not listening to us. Or raise us. Well, now I have to be in the road to the war or we can't get into the U.M.A. to know why. Once I get into the U.S. foreign countries and the one person that we asked before I go out is to present my entire thought and the necessary reputation and issue in sky. And the same thing is supposed to be the essence of it is possible for security purposes and for the better. But I think our citizens don't have to go back and look for a guide that you might use in the U.S. They naturally have to go up to 48 million NIR NID national identity is of money because messages was a great hassle. Yes. So that is going to help is what we don't know. But I think our security is seven of our little details like the military to them. And apparently we need to be a little more more capacity of technology. That is the way to do it. Just share it with people. Put in so just the few, at least men and few, not her mother's most continuous space largely on the challenges that are and is that we understand that it acts and that it's at the home, it's the better. And that we need to have six, the better since now is to find out that this money and it has also been set in one set. The time we have to come on, the time we bring the rest of them. And those are supposed to be money. And I don't know if you can do that. Is it that the secret is overwhelmed by what they think or they don't have to take the camera? This is where it needs to be shown and not require a decision on what to do. Okay, can you maybe just do like a one minute to quickly speak on the fate of Loretta Onoche. It should be decided today. If you can do that in one minute, so we can wrap up. It should be fair, I can't say. And so many people across the country some of them will be in the ruling party, as I said, she is, she's going to be a dark horse or how will not dark horse be a salt thumb in the finger, don't forget, for my chairman of INE, as I mentioned, you can still see the statement that Loretta should be a notion that should not be occupied in it and I hope that it will be useful. And just be young, you should do what is what I'm calling it. So that all the effort of the federal government to was making a very, very independent thing. It was like a whole of us, such as Nuno Lemio, UBC and the rest of them. The various information probably not social, that she is, all those who have not make a look like a neutral very positive issue of election, participation and she, and that is not important. And I hope that she should not come, but in 90 years, she's actually pushing anything I have. So really for me, I can help her. All right. All right, Chris Wanda, thank you so much for your thoughts and your time this morning. Thanks for sharing with us. Thank you. I look forward to see you again. Thank you very much for having me. Please stay safe. Stay safe on the roads. Also, you know, just quickly mentioned, I don't think any bandit was going to drop his gun one day and go stand in line with the NIMC to get his SIM card registered and also call any of the telcos and say on the link where he's... So, well, maybe what really happens is, no, they usually steal people's phones and maybe that's what they use. That's one of the challenges. You know, when someone has registered their lines and a bandit steals it and uses it to perpetrate crime, you know, how then can they be able to distinguish because they can go arrest someone innocent? That's even if the police did do due diligence to trace the SIM. So these issues really come up and, you know, just like he says, we need lots of investment in our security infrastructure, basically. I think when we're serious, we would get these things solved. When we, when the nation itself, it's serious about ending some of these challenges, they will end it. For now, a lot of times, we just play to the gallery and basically just dance around without actually achieving anything. But when we're serious, we will. Anyway, we'll take a short break. We're going to go back in time now and share with you some things that happened on this day many years ago. I'm going back just to the year 2013 and we'll be back after the short break.
