 On the breakfast, traffic situation, according to authorities, indicates that 95% of transportation is done by road for a city over 22 million residents. Houseave is a water transportation system and what is the capacity of the state waterways? Also on the breakfast, Fungke Akindelé has been unveiled as a running mate of Ola Gide. I did it all for LEGO State governorship polls. And also do you not forget who would be going through today's papers analyzing the biggest stories of the day. Welcome to the breakfast in Plus CV Africa. I am Messi Boppo and the holiday has ended. So I hope your work, all of the enjoyment and celebration has come to an end. Definitely whatever has the beginning would always have an end. It can be seen with a traffic situation as everyone is going back to work and going about their businesses. But it's a good thing we're always here, never a holiday. As always we set off with a top trending conversation. And number one for us this morning is that Nigerians are reacting as the People's Democratic Party here in LEGO State unveils Fungke Akindelé as a deputy governor. Now a lot of you would know Fungke. I mean we don't even have to go into the nine yards of the story. But very disappointing I would say is the kind of comments that has you know generated has been generated or the reactions and feelers that we're getting from Nigerians and especially legutions talking about the fact that you have Fungke Akindelé. I mean we need to go beyond all of that. So yes some comments you hear some people say hey you need to go and fix your marriage. One who cannot fix her home is someone who's you know coming to talk about becoming a deputy governor of a state. That's mostly the comment that has dominated the space and all of the reaction and feelers that you have got you would get. It's a good thing because prior to this time there were several rumors and what have you I mean you know the marriage situation. But she's come out and she has also really stated categorically that she will be running for that particular office. She stated her interests, her concern and how does that end. And to be very very realistic right here without any sentiment and bias it's that everyone has a right including myself sitting here. I do have a right as a matter of fact within the constitution as long as you know I do not contravene the law it is within my capacity to say hey I want to become a governor. I want to become a deputy governor or of course the position of a deputy governor is usually nominated so but the question has been why is she venturing into all of that and nobody is talking about capacity everybody seem to be saying hey what business does movie and acting I mean and you know governance I mean for a party as the people's democratic party it would be crux of a conversation. How dare you say you would pick the lights of a kind of late to be a running mate then it's it might just be a big blow for the party especially when the party is saying hey we're coming out as an opposition you know to take over the state in 2023. But let's not forget like I mentioned it's within the constitution you have a right to vote and be voted for and if you have Olajide who is you know the governorship candidate of the people's democratic party saying that his spiked his spiked funke as a running mate then and that's it because everyone has a right to vote and be voted for it would just be dependent on the people on the day of the elections to decide whether or not the one despised so it's okay for all of the sentiment but let's not forget that I mean she's not acting contrary to the constitution she's not she's not doing anything wrong so it's normal it's just natural and all of the issues that have been raised for instance the issue of failed marriage you're not able to put your house together you're an actor we have seen actors who have also ventured into politics especially in legal state we'll talk about the likes of Desmond Elliott a lawmaker so so I mean so what's different but let's just you know allow that slide and let's not also forget the fact that I mean funke akindili has not committed any crime if she was nominated she accepted it and she has decided then it's dependent on you the people on the day of the election to decide who becomes you know the ruling party I mean who governs the affairs of the people let's not forget that really the number one motive for every political party is that they win an election and the control government and so let's see what happens with the people's democratic party right here in legal state it will be the crux of a conversation as we proceed in the course of the day all right we'll move away from that another one talks about the president of the federal republic of Nigeria he says that he's eager to leave because being a president of the federal republic is a difficult job it's been tough being the president and and unless even for once reason with the president less reason with him do you think it's easy to be the number one citizen of a country as Nigeria as complex as he would be you think it's an easy job it's not an easy job so if the president says hey I'm tired he actually didn't even say he's tired but he's saying he's eager to go and if you look at the word eager if you want to look that up it talks about willingness you know very strong will to do something some people have queried you know the president's statement he's talked about a lot the fact that he's willing to leave he said being in charge of the country's affair has been tough and that he's eager to leave office Buhari said this when he hosted some governors legislatures and all progressive congress chieftain at a Dara in his Dara home in Katsina I mean following the the celebration that it all could be a holiday in Katsina and he said that he would do his best before handing over power to the winner of the 2023 presidential elections and the story will not end here the story continues but we just need to just leave it at what it is it's okay first of all you also need to understand that it's it's not it's not an easy job to be the number one citizen of a country it takes a lot you're talking about a country where you have different concerns I mean there are a lot of issues security issues especially when the president in 2015 had promised Nigerians that the security situation of the country will be sorted out I mean look at that and and then you look at the current reality what are we faced with it would be a tough job for mr president if if I were in his shoes it would be difficult it's more like you you said to your daughter I would get you chocolates before I get home XYZ made promises and commitment to your family and at the end of the day you weren't able to leave up to you the expectation what do you expect it's going to be difficult it's not going to be easy so yes you also made commitment that hey you know we're going to tackle corruption but people have seen it in different dimension it feels like you might just be with a certain set of persons you have favorite in the family system and that's what the president is faced with so it's okay to court the president some slack that it's a difficult situation it's a difficult situation for him to be in but even it's really eager to leave I mean something that because if you look at the definition of a eager you want to look at a wheel strong will to do something if the president really wants to leave it's not difficult he can tender his resignation and that's it so it might just be some semantics that the president is just putting on that statement because if he's really tired and he's overwhelmed or he can continue he can go away you would also want to say that even if he doesn't even say I'm going to put on uh I'm going to sign the letter of resignation and attend on my resignation then there should be a vote of confidence that should help him you know speed up the process so in all of this is the president really willing or he got to leave or he would have to leave when it's time that's it this morning but we move away from that and look at the fact that Aregbashola has blamed and says for the prison attack we know the prison attack situation where the kujir correctional center was attacked and there have been a lot of questions that we have not gotten answers to question as to whether it was pre-planned pre-meditated looking at the current situation and the happenings but can you say that the ensass let's look at the ideology behind ensass the protest that happened it was really about ending police brutality and the people got to a point where they say hey and up until this moment as we speak nothing has really changed because you still have constantly every other time police officers those who are supposed to protect the people and those who are supposed to be friends with the people you know maltreating the people manhandling the people in the course of discharging their duty once upon a time sometime last year I witnessed a police officer you know putting out live he shot him he shot randomly I don't know why he was shooting and I could not even get over you know all of that memory and experience it was really scary just imagining that the bullet could hit anyone that's what we're talking about so how do you blame ensass for the attack the prison attacks how what is the correlation it doesn't really really make any sense I don't see any connection but if you see any connection then it's okay to bring it to the fore and let's talk about it but if you're sick we leave in a system and a climb where there's constant blame game nobody's willing and the sides have to say hey we're taking responsibility for what it is so there's a difference some peasants have said that this government the current government is in bed with what's going on when you have this terrorist terrorizing lives and properties and all that's going on it's it's it's some kind of connection that there might just be some kind of relationship right here with the government and these group of peasants who have decided to ensure that the lives of the people are no longer safe and the terror and this attack so I'm trying to understand where Nigerians who were not armed took to the streets in different parts of the country to say hey we are tired of all that's going on we need you to end this brutality end it please the slogan at the end of the of you know the police the Nigerian police is that police is your friend really is the police your friend when you see the police officer do you feel that you know you have a relationship with them it's a question that I'm asking but that's it and just before we move away to just before we move away you also have the fanny ferry leaders backing Peter Obi it's quite interesting because for the fact that you have a spin a clamor a lot of peasants feel very dissatisfied and in 2015 dissatisfaction was on top of the boner front boner and so that's why you had the emergence of the all progressive congress because you had different forces coming together to form a force which is the apc but in 2023 we have seen Nigerians very disgruntled a dissatisfied with the status quo there's a lot going on and without the fact that you say Nigerians if you are a Nigerian or you live in Nigeria then you can tell one way or the order you want to look at the cost of leaving the hash economic situation you won't talk about insecurity what else you want to talk about the ease of doing business what exactly is going on but the argument over time has been that the Labour Party prior to this time you had Peter Obi who was in the all progressive congress and that wasn't going to be the case the argument has been power should actually go back to the south what part of the south some people say the south is and Peter Obi is actually from the south is a very wise decision because if you look at the electoral act if he had continued with his ambition to contest that election eventually not making it then he wouldn't have or stand any chance you know to via under any political party so first of all it was very brilliant of him to have left the people's democratic party and then have him in the Labour Party the question now has been do you have the Labour Party as a party that has a structure people talk about structure every other time to win an election because for every political party I mean the sole purpose you have political party existing is that they grab power the win an election and the rule that's the essence of political party so for the Labour Party do they have what it takes people have criticized it it's not a popular party if you look at the different states of the Federation do they have what it takes but something different might just be going on from the fact that you have people who are saying hey we're ready to you know put out financial support we're ready to chunk out resources the lean resources that we don't have to support a candidate and despite not even paying attention to whether he's from a certain region it's very commendable some people have said that the fenneferi saying that they're back in Pitobi is a plos and might just be a taught force that doesn't necessarily need an external force a force of different structure to come together but the fact that you have the force of Nigerians in different strata but that's the size of a conversation this morning on a top trending we take a break when we return we'll be looking at the front pages of a national release please stay with us
