It's a legal practitioner And he jumps his phone tunley koala. Good morning to you and thank you very much for your time All right Good morning to you We were having a tent a tent with you of the air before we came on the air and ask for your thoughts on the Drama and the episode that transpired at the me tamabuja residence of rochers of culture senator rochers of culture former governor of emu state Is the same place where he had held a meeting and addressed the press held a press conference With along with a fellow presidential aspirants from the southeastern part of the country Who are members of the all-progressives congress? And so we start with the almighty question Waluwani Peku essay and counsel to rochers or culture says that no warrant of arrest was presented At the house by the afcc or the police That they're not aware of any order of court nada was a letter of invitation also presented by these agents of government Does the afcc have the arrest the powers rather to arrest? You know a suspect without a warrant of arrest or an order of court What um Petite cognizance of The antecedent of somebody like a polo chap And also the antecedent of the afcc as an organization Uh, it might be difficult to come to this very way Or maybe to attack him What transpired between these two people Well, the truth of the matter is that On the our law It is after your conclusion your investigation That you invite a suspect Or your office For the conclusion of the investigation or even possible arena in court Or sometimes you'll find out When the USCC Invites especially the politically exposed people They actually want to all know what's the situation They think they are two things to all know the institution Furthermore Like I was talking about incident The USCC as we say As in here again In a very careful manner You really collect They've gone to make sure and some of these guys are missing To stop breaking into the room because you merely would act out an act of treason To cast a warrant of arrest They go to a cell to raise you cells and arrest people in the app To cast a warrant of arrest Not merely me The USCC is supposed to Procure A warrant of arrest on the court of competent institutions Before they go in there To cast arresting people Besides that They also have completed their investigation to a very very convenient point And the service to 18 pieces of the investigation is to the gas and fuel sector What can be completed Before you go to the sector area Because you are not expected to keep The arrested process in your custody in less than 24 hours Or at most 48 hours If there is a cause within the The environment where the justice could be arranged What you see They would always like to make very loud statements They want to make very loud statements According to them And to change the right signal To whoever All the other people They are invited that they might want to arrest That they have this almighty power To do whatever they want To whoever It is suspected to have engaged In money laundering It is right, won't it? It is not right I need to put in handcuffs In the hands of suspects who did not receive arrest Are not permitted under our laws But this is my area The AFCC And then the DFS And all that They think that they have lost the law And that nobody could call them to order Sadly They mean this to us The National Security Advisor The BG of DFS And Mr. President To whom these people are responsible They never call them to order You remember the circumstances In which a man who is now here Is here for this Was arrested Here is the security mindset That he could have been invited to the office And then the effect is very quiet here But in order to embarrass the man And also make loud mohits in the media They engage in this gesture of nature It is wrong to effect arrest Without a warranted attitude Barista Before we move on It is important for the public to get the right information That is what we have here A federal High Court Justice Brian Buber Of a federal High Court sitting in Lagos In 2016 had said that This is a case involving The former DG of NIMASA The former Niger Delta militant And some others Over that conspiracy A ledge conspiracy and diversion Of over 34 billionaire We have made a statement Before the defense And prosecution council Prosecution council being Fesos Kayamo at the time He said that the EFCC Does not need He said that EFCC can arrest anybody That is alleged to he ruled actually That the EFCC can arrest anybody That is alleged to have committed an offense Without a court order Yes, that is true Now that I am saying It depends on the circumstances If for example A man or a citizen Is committing an offense And you suspect that he doesn't Detect his arrest immediately He is likely to Run away Or he may commit more Damaging of time Then the law permits you To arrest that person Without an arrest Furthermore If the The crime that he has Legally committed Is not just a Muslim Or a very creature of him Which you call felony or war appeal He has to be in a position To arrest Without Obtaining A warrant of arrest Even if you are a citizen The law allows you to effect an arrest For somebody who is a suspect That has committed a crime Without any warrant of arrest Others will require you to If you do not effect the arrest And then move on To any of the security agencies That is nearby But you see The truth of the matter is that Is the EFCC doing this The court or court is likely To run away Is the EFCC doing this To set up a political committee To move on If they do not effect this arrest Without any time If it is impossible for the EFCC To make it a very street woman In the future of this possibility For course If we are in a democracy And I think that is a fact That is not about All security agencies All in a young muscle of sex This is human dignity This is what a woman's dignity Is when you coerce a barraque In the public When you can meet quiet layers Or lack layers In fact or do whatever Don't want to do Breaking the people's home Breaking the world people are holding Making our friends compare these And they don't do no thing If a violation of the dignity Of these people Which they now find are instrumental In a very civil play Right, they may have the power To arrest, you have to warrant To arrest, if you do the copy To declare We need to move away from this Now, that's because We're really running out of time So we're able to touch other critical issues But we're hoping that we get to a point Where impunity Would not become the order of the day Especially for security agencies Now an APC governorship ticket On the punch You have a grieve aspirin stick Direct primary and a ledge Governors hijack Delegate lists What are your thoughts on this I mean, looking at this current situation I am not surprised If you look at what has been happening In the intense civil rule In the 1990s What you are grateful Means what has always been happening Some powerful people Some rich people Some very influential people Even outside the Saudi Arab Emirates Will go to any countries Bright And pay for all the forms And if you send these people That whoever wants to contest Will now go and obtain the form And if they don't like your place If they think they will not allow you to contest The form will not be made available to you People are not ready to do what they want It was very notorious for that I know of so many people Who will call to his home Call to his house in Manete I tell you, you have done this good to me before Take this form You will take this form You will go to the assembly You will go to the assembly Have the money to do their work I make Give the whole firm for the whole state This is my imagination When there are procedures That should be followed Not just by INEC Because of the party And also the Australian candidates It's a monetized policy Our policy is like a browser Those who obtain form Those who contest and those who run for elections It's meant for the ISB guys I'm not surprised But what is surprising is that 20 23 Not the things of the improvement And the security agencies The police, the CSR The secret defense and what are those They have been turning the blind eye To all different factions That face this time We are running an election in Nigeria Alright, let's Go to this headline On the front page of the punch newspaper Orders MCO Lomo This is a former head of the NURTW And battled He had to pull out and he was also Removed as well Orders MCO Lomo, Lagos and the NURTW To stop Leving drivers This is The Iqoi Federal High Court With this particular Order Yes, yes, and MCO Lomo now Having left The NURTW Is now he had been given An exalted office By the governor of Lagos State Sao Oulu Of chairman of Lagos State Parks And Garages Management So this is an interesting What are your thoughts on this This order was filed In respect to an expatriate Application filed by a lawyer Mr. Oluqoya Ogun Weje That's a very progressive lawyer Well let me say this You will recall it was last year At premium time This is the research As regards the money That you mentioned, you know Road transport workers The other They are called road Road transport workers You know something There are two prominent Minions in the transport sector And of course you have the Ocadia and market Associations and water The same thing Which is concluded That in Lagos State The transport you know Was getting as much as 200 Associates did in Lyra Paranom And that money was enough to Form the budget Of the six states In Nigeria Are you asking yourself Why would The government at the federal level And then at the state level Close its eyes and turn their Eyes So that kind of good source of money Going to some private pockets Your answer is as good as mine The music to empower these people And these people also use it To fund Their elections And also whatever Get the campaign You might want to carry out Against political opponents And also the adversaries Who are not politicians Then As for the Lagos past and what Have you all That is an illegal administration They may out of assembly In Lagos State Can you see here Well we seem to have a disconnection With As soon as we are able to have him back We probably might just continue with it But next On the line would have been the conversation Where you have weekend dissolving Cabinet and SACs Chief of staff and aides So what happens just a few more Days before you have You know the 2023 elections All right it's good to have you join us back To the color Wale I know a little much Yes we can hear you very well Let's share your thoughts Let's move away from that Quickly on the punch It talks about weekend dissolving Cabinet and SACs chief of staff And aid What do you make of all of this And how much more time do you think that he has Before He has been behaving like a booge In China we are short And for somebody I'll start to be the president of the SAC All right so We're hoping that we Have that connection And as soon as we do We're definitely here to You know talk about it But the news making the rounds Is the fact that you have the Governor of the state His members of his cabinet Chief of staff And you know the aides And everyone's asking Looking at administration And looking at governance How much more time do you have On the table To have new persons come on board And how do you achieve All that you're expected to achieve Just before 2023 But some people have said that this has actually happened For political reasons And probably because of the fact that He's declared his intention To become president of Nigeria Kofi I know that You know A little bit of closeness to Probably have experience Not necessarily Not in that light But I will leave the working River state for some years He knows me I was on radio And he felt my impact But We can start his entire cabinet Totally unexpected Unexpected? You don't expect these things I mean you don't wake up in Morning expecting that the governor Would suck his entire cabinet Everyone you know Before the expiration of their tenor You know you come into office If you have a four-year spanner's governor You might relieve one or two Commissioners you know Maybe three or four Like when he fired my friend The former commissioner for environment After we held week I say week because I was part of those Press conference to talk about The suit The air pollution, the poor air quality In river state caused by Illegal Good old refining Whilst we were At that press conference You know because it was a partnership Between the civil society The media And the river state government through the commissioner Whilst we were at that That press conference The commissioner who was the headline You know a person For that the star of the show Was supposed to address the press and make a statement And started touching his phone He would bend over Under the high table like Because I was emceeing that event And then he outtapped me He said Kofi you have to go to the government The governor is calling me Well I've been told that we have I'll finish the story later It's fine I have to have you back You were making a point before The network interrupted Please go on Thank you I was saying that Mr. Wiki has been giving like a bull In the China we are sure And that for somebody I've started to be the president Of the federal republic of Nigeria Better than the 80s I expected Of him He has always been very loud With No clear-cut objectives As regards what he really wants And you also look at Is a balance sheet In terms of achievement For the seven years He has been governor I'm not too sure There's anything Tanjigu has Searched to show for it He's not been paying pensioners He has not been paying salaries Regularly Still He goes all over the country To native funds To different people And different organizations Only because of his own political objectives You also recollect Not too long ago One of his political adversaries And a funny government candidate Was accused Of Engaging in courtism When the man went to open The front to contest The governorship summary of his party He was arrested And he said Was behind his appeal The intention of that Is to process the man From contesting The governorship summary Of the PDP in reverse state And we say for God's sake All these kind of behaviors Are unacceptable In a democracy In a decent society He also recollected That he took on the MBA Which is his primary consequence To them Or not too long ago That they are only good initial person And that they never engage In any affirmative action And God The MBA Was able to shorten his mark For him And they asked him to construct On his responsibilities as a governor To the people of the reverse state And also to be held As a quarter master Or as a kind of enforcement Over the Nigerian And the PDP as a political party Interesting times You know For river state We have on the front page of leadership Some attention being given To Nicola The issue of financial autonomy For local governments in the country Of course a court ruling You know In favor of the national financial Intelligence unit and the federal government We hear according to leadership That the governors to meet today Regarding this issue What are your thoughts on this? Are you there sir? We apologize To Nicola what has been done by the network Would get back to him as soon as we can But mercy Let me complete my story So while we are at that press conference The commissioner of environment left Someone brought his phone to me and said See your Facebook So at that press conference He was meant to address He went to the government's house And the governor told him he had been fired And that he should return all the property belonging To him to the government house So I don't know what he even drove home with The government car he was using Drama we see with With the river state government But people have said you know what As the governor He appointed his commissioners They were not elected He can decide when he wants them to go So everybody has been told to go All the commissioners and then The secretary The chief of staff to the government And then the senior special assistant But there is a bit of a rumor There's a rumor has it That the commissioners Carried themselves to his house You know he has his own private residence Sprawling a state Bigger than some government houses We call it the new government house In Port Harcourt on other judge rule Rumor has it that some commissioners Carried themselves to his house To go celebrate with his wife Who is a very wonderful lady Just like the governor wonderful and intelligent Both lawyers she's a judge And that this rumor It's not established But some people are claiming On social media that He wasn't happy that they Came to lobby in his house He has previously warned that any Commissioner or special assistant Who doubles into politics of 2023 Who becomes the next governor I remember So I don't know if it's true Some of the reports are flying around We can't tell but it may Not be unconnected to that visit I don't know if it's true Also the fact that the city special assistant On protocol was relieved Why protocol? He's not the only senior special assistant He's not a commissioner So why was he relieved? Some also say no He went to COBJ Regarding his 2023 presidential Aspirations And he went with Governor Benjamin State He went with Dono Duke Of Cross River State And also Governor Sheimaki And they're saying that OBJ told him Wike and all of them to go and support PTOB And that they weren't happy So out of anger when he got back home He just fired everybody But we don't know if that is true But one thing that you have mentioned Because of all of this is that It wasn't expected No one would actually see that That would happen In the river state A lot of persons have actually described him As They would liken him To the former president of the United States Donald Trump So he's no Trump of Nigeria I'm sure he would be happy to hear that Very erratic Some people are not surprised at that action Because the thing that he does Has a capacity to act in that way He has a tendency The characteristics are there But whatever it is It's in the room It's still in the speculative But it might just also have Some element of truth You're good Over time Well that's the much we can take this morning On off the press we do appreciate your time And thank you so much to Nikola Wale For being part of the press We look forward to having you next week On the show thank you so much We'll definitely return Back with the major conversation This morning on the show About monkey parks Let's tell you what happened today in history
