We are resolving rift says jibrin how generals influence the cause choice Umahi part should shift to south It's a big one there on the front page of the nation. We have more Air Force kills terrorists leader 27 insurgents neutralized them. It's not every day. We had an Air Force Recording victory on the field of battle, of course people have been asking questions about the super trochanogets and some of the helicopters But by Nigeria All right more from the nation subsidy FAC demands petrol consumption records from NNPC FAC demands petrol consumption records from NNPC seem simple are waking up But is this too little too late?

So of course probably The fellow government will be believing in move ahead with that tax Call data costs to double as FG invokes new telecom tax Telcos others kick says policy unfair ill time while communication minister opposed proposed excise We're consulting on implementation finance ministry saying that more from Daily trust enough fighter jet kills banditry kingpin followers in Katsina. All right Presidency laments killings of villas animals Presidency laments killings of villas animals Some of the stories on the front page of the nation and at this time we bring in open up one cut area Open up one cut area. Welcome once again. Let's start with the Yes Okay, okay. All right, I hope I'll take your team are listening and They're gonna join up hook up to you now But but whilst we're waiting for for now born cut area to join us Vazum, which is a good one And we will begin with his state which is River State and open up one cut area is quite a Well-known he knows the affairs of River State more than most people do so he'll be commenting on that There was a speech given by the governor of River State. Yes, I'll wake a day ago where he he said alleged that some Politicians are trying to destabilize River State and These politicians who own hotels and businesses in the state who have those businesses affected if they Continue to destabilize allow themselves to be used to destabilize River State and so I'd like to take His take on that but the big one on the front page of the nation weakest camp slums article about divide and rule in PDP since the nation These days is really taking a lot of time to highlight the problems in the PDP and Of course as a paper that is seen as Maybe a mouthpiece for the opposition. It's no surprise or I'm told we have it open up on Kateria and go to area With us on zoom basically tariff you there can you respond please? Yeah, fantastic, so let's look at what's happening in River State with the nation saying weakest camp Slams a tickle over divide and rule in PDP Governor Titans hold on reverse chapter Is there is there a connection between this governor Titans hold on reverse chapter and then his recent State-wide broadcast where he said, you know that some politicians are being used to destabilize the state You know, what do you know about this? So that's clean as the governor Possession of certain information that we are not aware As the governor you put it to put that much on property. I must not shy away from that But a lot of people in tune the veracity of the clean and that is because of his previous position to recognizing and A man that is in previous previous to criticism means or dissenting Now we are all sees of what happened to Faradah Boogh As well as reverse test people are concerned Faradah Boogh the charges prepared against Faradah Boogh. We have talked about this and his major scene is supporting a tickle and Daring to contest for the government So they did orchestrated all that in order to deny him Participation in the primaries now if you talk of You had hoteliers or politicians using the hotels using hotels to recruit talks Reversed people that didn't do that if I have to recruit talks. I don't think I'll go to the hotel to recruit talks nevertheless It is believed that when politicians hold their meetings in hotel Dogs will be sent there in order to incriminate the politicians that are holding meetings even if Those talks we are not invited by the politicians And the hotels they will use Will be shut down or raised just because the government might think those hotels owners of those hotels Have sympathy for those politicians that will be having it is there from getting that they are out there To make money of his mess to make money So that is why a lot of reverse person a little bit skeptical And that this current might be a forewarning to intimidate political opponents Excuse a stalking horse Unleash And Mayhem or whatever on political opponents So I'll enjoy politicians to be extremely careful. They have to be circumspect They have to be extremely watchful because Most politicians will not hold meetings in their houses Some might not even want to hold me In the very old political parties the world's secretary of party secretaries Some might not even have the party secretaries right now depending on the political party And so we'll all fall down, which is normal and which has been a tradition But you know, we have a government that holds opposition As a substitute Your position Interesting interesting interesting one all right there the way you put it Let's look at the the activities of the the Nigerian Air Force still on the front page of the nation This time I mean we rarely have Air Force activity, you know Usually the army, you know neutralizes attacks theories kills and turries and some of them get killed but this time We're hearing the Air Force has killed a terrorist leader 27 insurgents neutralized The paper says cause of inter of terrorists including one of the notorious commanders Al-Haji Abdul Kerim lawal aka Abdul Kerim boss have been killed in a strikes coordinated by the F air component of operation Hadari Daji at the weekend is it a successful strikes. We're talking to that a Key terrorist enclave and hideouts in the Ruga forest in Kitsina state So this is a quite interesting one to hear that the air power might of which Billions of now have been spent to purchase are being used To neutralize the terrorists and bandits if one call it that Yes, so so what I thought on the fact that this This this this victory or this this killing has been has been achieved of a terrorist leader by the Air Force vis-a-vis the question about the use of Nigeria's air power, especially support to counter jets Well Like you likely note the army is the one by synonymous with a fight against terrorism in Nigeria We go through that's called a lack of synergy because Normally you to have the army the Air Force and the Navy Working in harmony to end the set to ensure the cessation of hostilities but In Nigeria the army I think you've just settled with that responsibility Now they'll say they have killed one of the terrorists So they said but Nigerians will say well, thank you, but we are not satisfied. We are not really impressed these are criminals that make barbecue of Nigerians on daily basis. We have kidnapped things we have abductions we have killings and so on on daily basis and you manage to kill one Out of the thousands are you making so much noise? I mean, I guess that Nigerians to clap for you What happened to the billions bootlegs? What would have preferred to hear is that the lies of Burakai and Co Our indetention was quandering the money meant for the purchase of Hamza This is not what of Nabean Kothariah is saying. This is what their successors said And it was corroborated by the NSA that the monies are located They could not find the answer and we have to justify their location And what happened is that president rewarded them with ambassadoral appointees and that's why a lot of people believe that the president is accomplishing the giant triplets of indiscretion complicity and inertia have bestowed the sword the war and sharpened the sword of this terrorist and so coming to tell me you have killed what what of the army captain That was indicted What has happened to him? What of Gumi? He is the president who come on earth to say we think we give much of that to service chiefs To ensure they eliminate this like bandit trope area terrorism and Gumi come out within 24 hours You say that cannot happen unless they never should be bandit He's moving freely now Look at the Kujie It took them about three hours to successfully pay out the operations in Kujie Kujie if you know Kujie so well you have military formations there Not one shot from the military men of military officers not one Over 300 persons even in Kopi you have 300 clients You will see them you will notice that Successfully and left The soldier could not retire or at least pretend to retire This is all the bandit's left After three hours three days to the time they dismantled roadblocks and you said the government is working say this don't forget That Was one of the strong advocates Honestly for this Boko Haram people terrorists He said that hopefully that was before he became a president He said if they nanged out the other militants will be granted Why not Boko Haram? Boko Haram was nominated For the president that even though he declined after that they came up with this story of these we are non Nigerians They came from Nijai Don't also remember Barajie All right, that APC were the ones that recruited these characters It has not been contravatted contravatted Barajie They came up to go nerve-racking Also, it's in which has seen now We are in has also come up only to say in Kalea one of the reasons for Constructing a real way to the J is because his siblings are there are from there Recently also boxed cars for the Nigerian government. This is how they are being called So if you observe there is that the next year there is that a willingness to continue because These characters are seen as they are in bonus But if anything should happen in the southeast, oh, we did get you for us Don't raise that village That community, but if it happens, it's not that you don't we keep books. All right. All right, so put up Oh, yes Yeah Mr. Kutaira because of time let's move to the next paper. That's a good question. You asked what happened We have the the the Daily Trust telling us cause data Costs to double as FG invokes new tech contacts. I mean What what can I do? It seems no one is really complaining As much as a pandemic the means of communications has been complaining and this is going to come into effect and we'll pay more Sure, should Nigerians be be complaining about this Some more you think that there's nothing that can be done to stop this you think that people should support such a move Copy using we have a government that is insensitive Government that is call us a Government that is run alice We have this problem because we have a morass of leadership back duty because it is run alice It is like a drowning man. I'm trying to hold on to a straw doesn't know what to do and Transfers the bonding to the masses What we have is capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich They take the necessities from the poor And ensure they give luxury to the plutocrats You know that any policy now Look at how individuals Nigerians are They can barely think They can really All right, we seem to have a network interruption that we don't open a ball in Kota Zoom feel me single Tara either. Can you hear me, please? All right. All right. All right. We have in that challenge But hopefully we can get up on a bone to Tara to to join us pretty soon this this telecoms tax is a very interesting one because of course The minister of communication is the first person who is shouting the most insane You know this tax is not Welcome me single Tara having complained about this. What can you see about the reaction of Nigerians? You know because it could be said that people are just doing about their business You know the nation has sunk into the slump that's for Nigerians are despondent. They don't know what to do anymore Now you will agree with me that a lot of persons don't even have that on their food Even to buy what we call credit That is the truth about and you want to What's in that situation? The only way I just can express themselves is By protesting and tomorrow when they go out to protest you tell them it is illegal when it is the right of Every Nigerian has to recognize by the constitution to protest but because it goes back in draconian A line will come out to try to look at what has happened to do your sister station We'll come out to try to That is what you have But I tell you when a man is put to the wall and bounces back with the double that boy All right All right, you know already at that point Already at that point on daily basis the tenures need to be taken away from the people They need to be taken away from the people They need to be taken away from the people Already at that point on daily basis the tenures negation of the country Have been threatened Our political agenda is overheated Social climate is sitting in I don't know if it could be argued Yeah, yeah Yeah, I don't know if it could be argued To me it seems that people are not really aware of what's going on because I mean I don't see I don't see a reaction that I mean this was seen if this was Sri Lanka for instance Probably would have seen people shot in the nation down because so they're gonna pay an extra tax Just an extra tax I mean we've seen countries nearby have had have something like e-Levi and then they took the government to task These things are not Are not orchestrated You know what is this fast Riot or protest and all the following riot protest The government tries to I told it into a riot but failed They had a fast protest And that would have the NLC It's going to be a combination of parties And it's going to be a spontaneous That's what I said When you're pushed to the wall and you're bound back to the double-level And they're going to be a spontaneous Even if you're speaking with us, it's going to be today One question justice is mighty And that is it So it is not as if we've resigned ourselves to pay I mean I mean like I'd be an accident And it was allowed to me Who said the resigned one self to pay is to be crippled fast It is mandatory And nobody wants to be crippled fast Nobody wants to be crippled Not about being crippled fast Nobody wants to be mad And nobody's mad So I tell you That these things Are insidious effects It's a gradual thing And definitely it will explode That is inclusion already Work for the exposure That's what I said When I heard that We render We slowly must tell you I've been cautious We render We render food And I I can assure you that This is not what Nigerians are going to do Alright Thank you very much We have to go Let's see what happens in the coming days and weeks This tax will be implemented And nothing will happen I dare say But let's see Let's see if that will fly I want to thank you very much for the time Let's see both online I like that Alright It's been a pleasure having you I must say you look quite sharp Quite crisp And quite dapper Thank you for your time this morning Thank you Kofi Alright Okay Time to take a break To look at what happened today in history And when we return We drive straight into our first conversation Looking at the elections forthcoming in Nigeria There's still the breakfast right here On Plus TV Africa Stay with us
