 Following the approval of the electoral bill, INEC has updated its schedule giving political parties between April 4th to June 3rd to conduct primaries. This means that political office holders interested in vying for positions must resign by June 3rd. Section 84 sub 1 of the electoral act provides that no political appointee at any level shall be a voting delegate or be voted for at the convention or congress of a political party for the purpose of denomination of candidates for any election. Consequence upon President Brewery's directive, any one in his cabinet who is vying for public office must resign on or before May 16th, 2022. Those affected by this directive include the governor to the central bank Mr. Eme Fele, Minister of Transportation Mr. Rotimiameichi, Niger Delta Affairs Minister Mr. Godz-Wilakpabio, Minister for Labor and Employment Chris Ngige, Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation Obonaya, State for Education Eme Kanwajiba and for Petroleum who have all joined the presidential race on the platform of the All Progressives Congress APC. Others are the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation Abubaka Malami who is vying for the KB governorship seats. Minister of State, Mines and Steel Uche Ogha who is running for the governorship position in Abia State and the Minister of Women Affairs Pauline Tallinn who declared ambition to contest for a senatorial seat in Plato State. Following the president's directive, four serving ministers have resigned whilst we are waiting a compliance of the directive by the others. While it is a standard norm on every democracy to vote for office, it will never be in the public interest for political appointees to stay in office whilst elective interest has been indicated. So what did I think about the political office orders vying for presidential, election positions and other positions? For me, I think they are Nigerians, qualified Nigerians and they should vie for elective positions once they meet the criteria. That's one. But two, I think that since the law says they have to resign, they have to abide by the law and follow through to the letter because by not doing so by contesting the law at this stage it just indicates just an occasion of their character because that just means that they would always flout the rule of law if and when they get into an appointed position. That's my take. Well, to me, you are right but I would, two of the candidates there, I'm talking of the general and the CBN Govno, the two of them are handling something sensitive. They are not supposed to be politically exposed. Exactly. And you see, CBN Govno, you have no business with politics. It's wrong. You shouldn't have that ambition. You shouldn't even think of buying a nomination form. So I don't know what we are talking about. It doesn't stop them from doing it. What kind of precedence are we setting for the future? I should not take shape. A central bank. The Govno central bank is supposed to be non-hattisan. You shouldn't be interested in politics. Former Govno central bank is now the current Govno. No, no, that's the difference. So it shouldn't, they should be able to buy for its composition. It's different. If you are to resign some... It's a different case. Not that you are staying in the corridor. What do you mean? That's why they have to resign. That's why there's a law that says they should resign. It's too close. It's true. It's true really because when you think about it, that tells you how much politics... Yeah, I mean it's a business here. But it's become almost like... So politics should be driven by vision. By vision leadership. So it should be driven by money. But resigning now means that Oboe seems how we leave this work and go and do this one where I'm going to have opportunity to... So I get what Elijah is coming from and I get what you're coming from. But I also think that his position is too sensitive to just quickly want to resign at the time in it just to get the phone. So it's going to make that decision. Maybe he has left office maybe a year ago or you know... I mean at the nick of time resigning again we can have different... I mean we can have contrasting views around it. But the truth is being the CBN governor is a very strategic position in the nation. And even that to vibe for... I mean I really even wish I could sit with all of these people. Okay guys, leave all the sham, leave all the... What's all those buzzwords? You know I am the man of the people, tested, trusted and all... Leave all those rubbish. Why do you really between us unscripted, ex-witted, right? Why do you want to really get on this seat? And you probably... If we can even have like a meter that measures the intent of the heart you probably see why people are going for you know things. And that about having the whole drama because I mean even the rats knows that is drama that's happening. Is that a question? It's just crazy. Is the CBN governor a card carrying member of any party in the country? It's wrong for him to do that in the first place. But for you to... You are supposed to be neutral in a way. When Soludu was the CBN governor he was a professor, he was a professional. Now this was the person, the allegation that he was a card carrying member. So why would you be a card carrying member of the CBN governor? You are a PEP, politically exposed person. Let's hear from Soludu. Is Soludu still there? What do you have to say about this? Yeah, the law applies to impunity. It's very simple, it's impunity. I agree. Because the laws are clear. All the law is clear. You cannot be a public official and then the person. Because that just already means there is a compromise. There is a complete of interest. I mean these things are basic. There are a lot of things that we should be understanding about. I remember during the 2020 elections in the US that a certain president felt he won elections and then for that reason new position will be certified Thank you so much Tolu for that. Yes. Thank you so much Tolu. Up next is Elijah. Stay with us.
