Good morning. Good morning Nigeria. Well let's start off with the leadership newspaper this morning as always will be paying attention you know to the biggest stories on the leadership newspaper. The board caption here talks about how in fighting this loyalty costs APC's defeat in Oshun. Wow it's just a reminder of you know thoughts that happened with the PDP. It feels like the PDP had a lot of issues but they were able you know to sort out the issues that they had prior to this time. In fighting this loyalty costs APC's defeat in Oshun while jibylation in Oshun as a delicate family produced second governor in 30 years. Interesting.

Well that's the much we can take on the punch away from the punch we also have another paper that's the nation Adelaide APDP celebrates as Oye Toler studies result. Interesting but how do you explain the fact that you know the president had moved on to congratulate Adelaide and then you have a governor still trying to study the result.

NLC vows to go ahead with nationwide protests over closure of universities. Now the essence of this protest according to the NLC is that it would force the government to implement the agreement the government had entered with the union prior to this time in the previous year. Let's see how all of that's going to work. Will this yield and a result will the government be moved by this protest and even the fact that you also have the health workers saying they're threatening to come back on the strike. Underneath that's not underneath because that's a caption on his own. A broadly you have Buhari or shouldn't people have expressed their will throw a ballot it must matter be respected and some people are studying you know the result.

Feels like we're taking this already. You also have a picture that was also on the leadership. His excellency President Mohammed Buhari unveils the NMPC limited and you have the president's picture more like an egg shape cracking and the sun shining. Definitely on Niger and this would happen on the 19th of July. The presidential conference, ASU Rock Vila, energy for today and energy for tomorrow. That's what you find. Okunabong Kataria joins us this morning as we go through the papers. It's good to have you join us. Good morning. I don't know what's wrong with your, with your communication. I can hear you loud and clear. Oh yes, I'm going to end with clear introduction. Good morning. Well, it would be on the network now. But let's hope that we have a smooth conversation quickly. This one on the leadership, it talks about how infighting and this loyalty cost APC's defeat in Oshun. That's how the leadership captions it. Do you think that this is the real situation that the infighting, all of the confusion that the APC might be going through was responsible for the defeat in Oshun state? Yes, well, in as much as the defeat could be polycosas, that could be other factors such as maybe all administration and what have you. But I strongly believe that the party is consumed in the very smoke at Bell Stop. And that very smoke that probably could be referred to as the last straw that broke the condom in the rift between the minister and the governor of the state. Don't forget that the minister has a large followership in that state. And you cannot wish away his clout. And you know the fighting was so intense and the rivalry, I mean, so, so bitter that Alec Bershola was at a point working on how to remove the governor. And so I strongly believe that since that day in work, this was seen as an opportunity, notwithstanding that a delegate was definitely going to be the beneficiary of his reach. It's an opportunity for him to withdraw his support for the governor. And by extension, allow a delegate to win. That is one. Then secondly, to me, this is what I refer to as repristination of the a delegate's to-lun mandate. In 2018, or thereabouts, it was quite obvious that a delegate won that election. And that mandate was stolen through the courts. Of course, at the court of First Instance, which was the tribunal, I didn't like it won. But by the time it got to the Supreme Court, that judgment was observed and victory was given to the governor of the state. But obviously, even if you looked at the margin, it was just about 400. And that will tell you that the most popular of the two of them is obviously a delegate. And especially with the support of his niche, if you do. So I mean, it didn't come as a support with lots of political fundings that a delegate was definitely going to get in 2018. So to political fundings, it didn't come. And let me also at this point comment, Kainek, for their transparency, for their credibility. And at this time, in that election, the give us support. I also want to comment, the people of Osho, who are canonical. How to drive from the pre-election, during the election and after the election. Of course, we have pickups here. They are unfounded allegations of gun shots on that particular day of the election. But even the election monitoring groups, the civil society groups, all are tested to the fact that the elections were relatively, or let me say 90 percent, history. In terms of the give us, in terms of the conduct of the election and the conduct of the electorate. All right. But let's also delving to other issues, dominating the papers, different papers this morning. We've seen that on the pange. We've also seen that on some of the papers. It talks about the incumbent governor starting, you know, the results. We also know that a peace pact was signed where he himself was also very present and really don't understand what that really means. Saying that he's starting, you know, the outcome of that particular result. One would expect that the governor would have as well gone ahead to put out that call. I mean, there's usually a call to make, but or a message to send at the end of the day. The president himself has actually gone ahead to put out a comment and, you know, congratulate a delay for winning the election. What do you make of this scenario where the governor, the incumbent governor, has yet to put up a call, but he's talking about studying the outcome of the elections or the result. First, the governor is dazed by his overwhelming victory. So I think he's yet to recover from that shock. And don't also forget that the governor is also a slave to his structure. That structure, I'm talking of his political family, and there are a lot of persons who are not willing to submit to victory. Rather than submit to victory, they will stop at nothing to truncate the process or at some point, you know, see if they can, I would like to put it, change whatever it is. I can tell you right now that you have those legal mongers, what are called legal financial mongers, those that will now be advising him to go to court. You remember in 2018, what happened? And then we got it at the Supreme Court. So-so pulling unit. They said there was a gunshot. At this place, both were voided. Those voided votes, ordinary would have been your votes. The only was orchestrated for you to lose. The whole essence is just to get more money from the governor. No Jewel there is going to be an exercise in scrutiny. I'm not prejudging anyway, because when you look at the margin, I don't know how a court will, with every way, overcome that victory. They tried it and succeeded in him or state. The world is aware that a maker here was the winner of that very election. How the court manufactured the figures they gave to Udo De Ma to tomorrow where we'll get to see. But the Supreme Court spoke. And of course, it has only failed to God. And that's why that judgment is standing. However, more than 19% of Nigerians impugned this sagacity and also believed that we do respect the justices of fully compromised in the Metahedra case. I pray and also hope that the justices will not be fully compromised in this particular matter, because it's going to be a prescription for anarchy. This man won and won squarely. Udo De Ma wants to study and wants to go back to the university to study election results up to PhD level. That is his own cup of tea. Nobody's going to question that. If he has a team of lawyers that believe that they can, they have, the matter is just this year with it, I'll go to court. No problem. It is also their constitutional right. But I will say it here and now that Nigerians and the world at last have adjudged that election free, credible and transparent. Therefore, we don't expect the court to subvert the will of assumed people. We will not accept that. Adiliki has won. Udo De Ma asked Ubra to study. He can write his thesis on that. He can be a professor of studying of election results. There is no problem. But that election will span and that is what it is. All right. Let's move away from election issues now. Another one that's quite interesting. You have that on the leadership newspaper and also on the nation. It talks of the unveiling of NNPC as an entity. The president will be doing that in no time. And now according to the acts, you have an act from 2021. That's the PIA industry act of 2021. Where you have the PIA, thank you. Where you have the NNPC should be a new entity. But looking at this entire act and the fact that the president will unveil this in the midst of the fear crisis and situation, what do you make of this? Is this really good news for Nigerians? Does this mean that the issue of a fear and petrol issues would become the issue of the history now, would be in the past? You know, one man that has always believed that we have the various governments always plundering a mass of politicians. This is a clarity of morass of leadership but beauty. There is no problem in unbundling. I mean, it is going to ensure efficacy. That is to give us the desired results. The only thing is encourage competition in the market and we all know the advantages of competition. It will definitely lead to reduction in price. It will also lead to an increase in quality. Enhancement in quality. These are the beauties of competition. But you see, a lot of us are worried. First of all, the federal government didn't need to do all this for us to have fuel and for the refineries to work. But because the federal government, I mean, we don't have to have a better government now. But because the federal government is complicit in ensuring that our refineries are horrible so that they are capable to go ahead with this partition of fuel. They allow that the refineries to go moribund is comatose. Yet every day we spend, or every four years or two days, we spend billions of dollars in quotes for turnaround maintenance. And don't forget that if I pay with workers, those who work, they pay their paid exorbitant fees amount in terms of salary and remuneration. You see, a government that is running, the refineries is not working, you are retaining the staff and you are paying them salary. But back to your question, the truth about it is that we are not good at it. We are good at refineries. There is no problem with that. Even though, like I said, you cannot justify it, because food and management will still have, the government will still run the refineries, make profits and the prices of petrol will drop. If we are good at it, if we are sincere, it's just transparency, it's just credibility. But all those things are lacking. Okay, now you want to find the issue will be where the refineries, the corner by this same, this same kabah, involved in storing the refineries and kumachos so that they can export our food ridiculously and import them to make abnormal profits. It is great because you see, hey, no matter how you're bundled, I don't have the financial capacity to invest. Maybe you don't have that financial capacity to invest. Just the kabah that has been making it impossible for the refineries to walk. The same kabah that has been making it impossible to sell the food to be sold at 100 Naira per liter. That same kabah will be the ones to buy the refineries and invest. This is why they don't want to invest. And what will be the difference? And this is the last result. They also know. Look at NEPA, for example now. Look at NEPA, the situation is worse now. The idea is that it just may reach up on daily basis. The situation is worse. The same thing will happen because there is no sincerity, there is no credibility. And you have a president who said he's tired. Just last week in Darae, he said he's tired, he cannot wait to go. So that's why I said you are talking of mid-sized vacuities. The Nigerians don't really understand what to do. Every policy is aimed at satisfying a microscopic view. That is the truth in this country. And that is why we are where we are today. So if you're on board or not on board, you have seen the pictures of the attorney and the pages of the papers, beautiful, good aesthetic work and so on. You said the song will shine. This song has always shown on Nigeria, always. But the problem is that as God is allowing the song to shine, Nigerians are building artificial shades to prevent its illumination. And that is why we are in Nigeria in perpetual darkness. God is saying go and shine. Our leaders are saying God forbid there are these shades to prevent illumination. And that is why we are where we are. Let us see this song will shine. I doubt it. It will not shine. Not under this administration at least. Not under this administration. But some people say that it's within the powers that the people do have the power to ensure that the sun actually shines. That is the power that was exercised in our show. And the power that will be exercised next year. That is the power. Okuna Bunkatara, let's get to the point. Those who also have the power to make it shine immediately are cowards. I'm talking of the national assembly. That is the only one that can effect the change. Those ones are compromised cowards. So we don't have the choice but to wait till 2023. Also, as done is over. Nigerians will do their own 2023. Ok, it's good to say. I mean you have mentioned that members of the national assembly do not have the gods. They don't have what it takes, you know, to ensure that the sun shines. You know what I'm talking about is your choice of what you try not to do. They don't have the gods. They don't have the gods. Alright then. The amount of the gods is the cowards. So it is very hard. Let's look at the punch newspaper this morning. Marketers finally hike petrol price to 117 hour to 190 hour per litre. That's a current reality. What do you make of this? I mean how will Nigerians actually survive this particular process? Especially when we understand how the economy is dwindling. You know the purchasing power has also reduced. Yeah, you see the economy is exceedingly inflamed. If I ask you a question and I try to get a sincere answer from you, how have you been surviving? You don't have an answer to that question. You will tell me now God, because one minute you don't have a problem, the next minute you're able to solve one or two problems and that is how you've been going off. Unlike the civilized clients, where you have your salary and you can plan with that salary. In Nigeria, how do you plan with your salary? When in the morning they give you maybe less than your salary, say 100,000. In the morning a litre of petrol is 160 and in the afternoon is 190 and in the evening is 220. How do you plan? And it has domino effects, because the market women too, the hotel are the same, the medical doctors are the same, they're all going to the same market. Domino effect. So when you say how in Nigeria it's inexplicable, it is better experienced. I don't think even the best economists can come up with this. They will tell you one thing, negative impact. That's all. But I think even the economists are tired and cannot explain the Nigeria, it's so peculiar. So are we? It is hunger in the land. It is portable on purpose, hunger in the land. There is bewildering for people who are building bitterness in the land. We are in one big, how would I call it, violent despair. Nigeria has a despondence, there is no hope. I should speak right now. It is a question of your time though is God for us all. That is the situation we found ourselves in this country. Bleak, gloomy, green. You get up in the morning, you face the challenges you see. You cannot plan to say, oh tomorrow is the electricity to start it. You can't even notice it. Tomorrow I'll have to go to the shop to get my groceries. I have a 100,000 actually. By the time you go there, you find out that the 100,000 are just for food. I listened to a friend who said he went to buy petrol last week. And it was supposed to go for 165 in Abuja. And when he got there, he said fill my phone, he filled his phone. He was calculating 165. At the end of the day, he paid 200 lira per liter. And when he filled it, he said how? He said no, look at it now, it's now 200 per liter. How do you plan? That is how frustrating the situation is. So are we likely to see an increase in crime and criminality? These are concomitant effects. These are concomitant effects. Because you see, I said, beware of the possibility of bitterness. Do you know how it feels when you get up in the morning messy? Are you trying to look at your son, telling your mommy I'm hungry? That one is saying mommy I'm hungry. The next one is saying mommy, I'm rather temperature or I'm having fever. Then the third one tells you mommy, I can't go to school today because I have not paid my school fee. What will you do? Let's face it, let's face it. Nobody is trying to justify crime. But what do you do? When a man is put to the wall, a basket back with a double that. Especially when he has to do the one that is dying, as a Sikh, take this off. That is the truth about human nature. That is what you can do about it. Survival and updates. And what will this mean to you? Because even the country itself has told you that Americans will tell you, think of what you can do for America, the safest leader of America. Think of what you can do not what America can do for you. Then the Nigerian will now also take over. They will say, what can you do for the country? What has the country ever done for me? When the Americans say, think of what you can do for America, not that America could do. It's like a father who has finished training his son. And he has discharged his obligations. And he now takes his son, I've done my bit. Now you make me proud. It's like taking care of a father in his old age. You've done nothing for Nigerians. You've never read Nigerians. You've destroyed the country. You've rendered them, you've popularized them. And you say Nigerians should think of what you can do for a country that is not responsible leadership that is, oh my God, idea in terms of crime. Open up on Qatar. Let's move away from that. To increase in crime and criminality. That's the truth about it. I can actually feel your heart here. Unfortunately, the victims are going to be those at the bottom of the Pachinada. Because when they reach and they might be still, they do not get to them, they still will get to them. Open up on Qatar, quickly. When the crime is still foul, not foul, you go in for five years imprisonment. Well, I can feel your pulse on this one. I mean, we can feel how you're always very passionate about this issue. And we can really feel your heart. But we just hope that it would be the same thing with our leaders. I mean, we wish they felt this way, the way you're feeling right now. And it would swing them into action. The burden of people. But quick one, because we have just a few minutes before we call it a wrap here on off the press. And let's look at the fact that ASU, following the ASU strike that has lingered for a very long time, this is on the punch, the NLC plans and national protests. And the police is asking for notification. The NLC is saying they're backing on the protests. Maybe this would also help them force the hands of the government to implement the agreement they had entered with the union in the previous years. Do you see this yielding any kind of result? I see by listening to you today, I'm listening to you today, always mountain pass and Elevator and Santa Monastery. You see, why wouldn't, why would that address these issues? If you observe, if you compare this book in the last two weeks, we saw children of government and ministers and so on graduating abroad. So you tell me, why would they be concerned about ASU? That's why I say it's about the poor man. If you guys know what it may be, all these kids are done with school. He has only just to send them abroad. So he comes on a kind of nonsense. Sorry to say, to use that. But that is the truth about it. There is no sincerity in addressing the ASU water. The government is ready to spend one billion dollars or to give a neighboring country one billion dollars than to spend 500 million addressing the ASU matter. Why? The president is no bother. The ministers are no bother. The governments are no bother. They have what they do. They can buy universities. Most of them can open their own universities. And so to a head with the common man's children, that is what is going on. As long as what we are going to do, we are going to apply the federal policy. And what is that policy? We are prepared to be negotiated. After all, we are not going to suffer for it. If they want to go and strike for one million years, no problem. Well, it's not affecting the kids. They are students who prison dollars and empowers. Okunaban Katari, I hope that we are able to talk about this some of the time. On her stories and of our early days, if they use that money, put them in. I already won with the minister I used for a seven convo. What does he do with seven convo? What does he do with seven convo? What does he do with it? You see, it's all about food and management. And it's all about scale of preference, opportunity cost. Okunaban, you have leaders who are there, yes? Well, we have to go now. Oh, okay. It's all right. Thank you so much. It's always a delight to listen to you. I mean, share your thoughts on these issues. We hope that someday Nigeria would be a better place. And I'm hoping that we will be alive to witness all of that. Thank you so much for being part of the process. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. I was always very passionately listening to Aupinabong Kataris share his thoughts on these issues. And, you know, the question would always be what exactly is the problem? Are these things so impossible? Is it so difficult? Is it like going to the moon? Even going to the moon, it's been possible these days. Well, that's the size of the process morning. When we return, we'll be heading straight to our first major conversation, looking at the ocean elections, the preparation, the turnout and the victory. Stay with us. We'll be right back.
