Good morning to you, sir All right, so it's not a story that has made all the papers But I think it's an interesting one and that is the story in the nation or the tribune rather saying Plateau State military ones residents against self-defense Now quickly let's have your thoughts on that story first I Or whatever This is what I want to get is this you know does this sound like the army is equating self-defense to reprisal attacks For The The issues But I think it's not dependent, I don't think that's a matter. Alright, I'm still talking security now. Let's move to Bainway where there's a story saying Akume and other APC leaders demand state of emergency in Bainway. Governor Tom has of course reacted to that and spoken against it. And basically painted it as a political struggle or APC's way of trying to derail his government in the state. What are your thoughts? APC's entire security account, the security agency is under the control of the federal government. So according to what I mean now, they may be in the NSDC minutes. They are under the command of the former chief of the armed forces who is the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the APC member and the Prime Minister of Kuwari. For you to know, they want to declare a state of emergency. They are going to go to Bainway, even of the federal government, because the state government has no single security apparatus, the state of all these local people, these sort of by-state of other countries. They come to think of things. I've also made this case, I've also called for the declaration of the death of Masih Kassina in Borneo, even the two that were killed in Zampara. And so many other people are thinking on the daily basis. Have they also displayed that in Padang? That has become a party brand, a killing theater of people, of which recently some high-law and some others were killed. So why do they make this statement? And they can't convene to wonder, to get the part of the problem. Is that the whole idea? I'm not sure you're not sure. What is the security of the state of emergency can be declared as state? I think our leaders should be very, very careful in their own terms. They should be part of the solution and not part of the problem. I don't know what the government is saying. They knew what happened. There are so many. They ask that in this state of emergency, I'm just actually just... Also bearing in mind in the last few weeks, there has been a back-and-forth between the Benoist state governor, Otoma and the federal government, basically exchanging words here and there. And that's one of the things that also... Don't forget that Tume is also a minister. I'm saying that Tume is a minister and that is back. So definitely, in fact, the element that is against the government needs another part. So that's not the right thing. I, you have thought that I, that's the statement that has to... We should be talking about what has it done to be able to give some level of musicians to the problem, you know. If there's a problem, how is this division to be stopped, man? And they do not address it. So for me, it's not that yet, but it's just been from telling the correct statement that that is not the way to go. All right. Now let's talk Asu, which of course is on the Pontius morning, says Asu accuses federal government of deceit. As minister explains payment delay, they have also threatened to once again go back on strike from Tuesday the 31st of August. In the last few weeks, when I was on this program, I thought I'd be nagged. This is the first doctor's strike. You will realize that I've written, I'm talking about that strike. I always mention Asu and Tume. I said that, nagged is the way of Asu because the government's an agreement with Asu today, they have not implemented that. And so for Asu to come back now to accuse the government of deceit. And the minister has tried to go back on strike that that agreement has been implemented and the government knows it. Asu said that is very far away from the problem about moving the central bank, the account making thing. How long does it take to move the central bank of Nigeria? So accounts runs. How long does it take with this digital age? I don't think it's going to leave the cash from the United States of America and their wealth in their territory. I'm not taking a flight from the U.S. to Nigeria, which is less than the U.S. The direct amount is just about 12 to 13 hours early from the U.S. We did it four hours that morning we got into Nigeria, it was in the U.S. but in our own set up a digital transfer fund from central bank accounts and you say that it's taking the rest of them. But that is the way that the government has in place. That is the kind of else we see on the daily basis. That is Nigeria for you. The situation here the government has made an agreement with the union and relate on me. The message you give us in our run to the central bank to ask for an injunction to stop the ASU from going to strike. Again on strike. ASU was on strike close to one week not over a week and they go on that strike and you have an idea to go. The students are suffering. I will tell you briefly that some of those students they go to the university at the same time they go to private interest. Most of the private students are ready to go. Why go out to Nigeria and Nigeria? Are they in their 20s or their 30s? They are in their first year in their second year 200 left we are just making 200 lead 300 Also, my home here tells you this thing was cancelled and you can't not just during the afterwardestly session with large some of them cancelled to.. That means the students have to stay back to repeat and improve all the ministers that are there to leave that. You can talk to and they are going to suffer. Education is not a problem. People have to go to the target universe. And if this is not how the people result to the narrative of the night, you vote. There is no right to bring your vote. There is no security. You have to go over there. Then you say that the streets are not contributing to security by the streets. That is what my guy asked me. Everybody has got themselves. Government has totally collapsed in the rest of the city. And that is the situation we find ourselves in. All right, Chris Wanderlach. Now let's move away from Asu's discussion and move to the judiciary. In the last few weeks, there have been some very shocking court judgments. Ex-party orders here and there stay of judgment, you know, from different states. And in reaction to that, the CJN, it's on the Nigerian Tribune this morning. It says, conflict in court orders. CJN, someone's chief judges of rivers, Kebihimo Anambra, and two other states, very likely to address these very embarrassing judgments that have been, you know, shared like party packs across the states. Quickly also speak on that. It's very unfortunate that we've been talking about the TCI in this life. As a student, I remember in my childhood that most of the constitution that I was taught is that court for ordination cannot be able to annul or for whatever to do, any judgment that has also given by a court of the same kind of judiciary. So if a court has given another high court in any part of the country, not any ruling on that that has been made by a high court, if you have any problem with that, where you can cut off appeal. But a situation where it has various judgments within the same rank, the all sorts of judgements, judgments, you get one from the one that has happened to you, got one from there, somebody has went to Kebihimo and got one, another one went to Kallafa and got that. The same problem nowhere in the world is taken on. And the problem as always is our problem is that of the constitution produced in the constitution. And most people say, oh, and I don't think that's the constitution because there's no part of the constitution that I got. But I don't know that the responsibility of implementing constitution, are they doing the right thing? And so it's quite overwhelming how this kind of thing happened. And they are just persuading the judiciary to read it. And this is where the NDA, the SDA has to come into play. The children still have one high court judgements for my six days. So let's work to come out of that. This is not the photo we are seeing. Look at the families living in an university, A, B, C, P, P, R, N, A. Each and every one of those can get all sorts of thunder. We go as fast as we go. And I'm going to have to ask that one thing, the degree and the rest of the problems of the court judgements, which is needed. We just need to consider the court as the court. They don't have that degree. But that is not the court's hope. They don't have the jurisdiction on a person who cannot vote on it. And that is what is happening. So the hope that the state government of the progression and the age is made tasty, as it is in terms of the judges and judges here and there, they're telling me to just, I don't know what to even do. But there will be someone less willing to just to come out on that. All right. And now to the southeast, where it's reported on the nation this morning, says fourth week of southeast ghost mode turns bloody. I think it was about two weeks ago that, about a week or two weeks ago, that there was reports that the Citatum order had been called off. And people should, of course, go about their regular business activities on Mondays. But, you know, even two Mondays ago, and of course, you know, two days ago, another Monday, it seems like the southeast, you know, a lot of parts of the southeast are still adhering, mostly in Inugu to the Citatum order. Where do you think this is going? And, you know, at what point is this all going to end? You remember the scenario I gave you, or like an adage, I gave you two weeks ago when I was talking about the money and the cop. I am sure that you did not hear about that. That is just, just like the cop have on your table there. We have, we put you up and you say monkey, because it has been scanning you what I said you have to do. To the monkey, I give the monkey the cop, and he takes the cop. The problem is not between the monkey and the cop. The fact is that it's not drinking the water, you retrieve that cop from the monkey. You scratch up your one, you drink that one, and it's practically, and that is the station we find out in the south, where those are also not there. When I thought I started this, I was hoping to say this was not, I said this is not the way to go. But it is so good that people have lost initiative. They started this idea, and along the line, after the press came in and I said, oh, we call it, oh, what could the press in the Citadel do? Some people are taking so because of that, let us just allow them to grant people. But at the end of the picture, people no longer listen to them. People have not decided to make it a good affair. And as I've already said, it's not because of the fact I don't want a day, a day to whatever I thought it would be. Because of that, in your life, you don't feel that they come one day. Some force, force and it's calling you. They come out and attack the people. Some of them believe that they can open their shop. Some people will come and get this move and say they are fired. And usually, they just want them to grant their lost success they are told. They are money. They are excessive of whatever I thought they say. And the second stage is they also know that the government of the state does not protect them. If they believe that the government has said they have got the place to put them, they will come out. But it's not because they come back to it. They have decided to go and get the place and just let us just leave the room this morning. All of this is not because I'm here actually for the government. And it's because if you talk about money, you don't have to do it. They will continue to get that. And the question is that the economy of the house is going to continue to get to the base. So some people are going to get that. They are going to do it because if they don't want to do it, they will not be able to eat. So that is the situation we are talking about. So let me do. I'm back on the share already. Most of the part of the of the south is, every day now is like a ghost. Nobody goes out, nobody tells anything because they are tired of this. They will be attacked. And the government have not of the south raised up the estimated. And let them do. And come back with a first stage that you are free to go out of the business. Every Monday that I get to protect you, you are going to have this kind of situation. Chris Wander, thank you very much. Always interesting hearing your perspective on major stories.
