We'll move away from the punch this morning We'll quickly take a look at the nation newspaper and on the nation Consensus candidate our best option Buhari insist.

Yeah, how your bellow tight security around ego square I also forget that you know There's also a narrative saying that you have the nodding candidates stepping down, you know for certain candid because the presidency I said hey, you need to come up with all of this But away from that you also have more interesting headlines on the nation this morning all progressive Congress a movement of decision That's another one some analysis I'm sure you want to find out what that means how gunmen invade church and kill many in our war Fashola hands over houses to canoe beneficiaries interesting on the nation and bad loans Mortgage banks MFBS get 15 day deadline Petrol fried raids is on the increase. I mean, that's also what you find on The nation this morning just a little bit not so much on a Monday morning We move away from the nation. We take a look at that the leadership Newspaper this morning and on the leadership Daredevil terrorist attack on Doe church and kills 58 worshipers It's a caption. You would find on the leadership 24 hours to a PC convention South yet to agree on consensus candidate can two walk together until they agree That's just something you need to think about President Muhammad a Buhari meets a PC Kako Kakus Governors ahead of primary tomorrow southern leaders Commend president nothing governors was zoning a presidential ticket to region. I mean, I think there's a lot that might be going on with the APC Even though You know that might not be what the APC would want to say well a lot is going on But yes, we know that there's a lot of activities just be going on between the 6th through the 8th of June fingers across Not in governor's position not binding on me. Yeah, how you're bellow squirted on that He's very brave and you also find stakeholders worried over epileptic power supply interesting ADC presidential ticket Kachuku more galo APC presidential ADC I beg your pardon ADC presidential ticket kachuku more galo orders take battle to a beokuta The headlines you find this morning and PDP to BOT article myths today over running mates and orders FCT minister condemns The lynching of alleged blasphemer Operators outreach over 20 year e customs concession to China firm Is what you find this morning and stakeholders worried over epileptic power supply These are the headlines this morning on the leadership newspaper. We'll move away from that and we quickly look at it It's just the last Point of court for us outreach trails on dull Catholic church blood bath It's really one. It's very sad Because he can't happen to anyone a fanny fairy says world should hold federal government responsible Criminals operating with impunity Khan laments Mm-hmm and governor carried all who vows to hunt down Asselin's Nigeria fast becoming a failed state really we not a failed state already. Come on inflation Volatile FX to side policy cannot economy ahead of 2023 pause as a board caption you find this morning outreach trails on the Catholic church blood bath We took that already a fanny fairy says world should hold the federal government responsible Criminals operating with impunity Khan laments governor carried all who vows to hunt down Okay, we take this already how APC presidential candidates will emerge Nadine elders slam regional 11 governors over Zoning of APC presidential ticket 20th on a treat where presidency Southern middle belt leaders condemn Buhari APC governors. No peace Loving Nigeria we'll want a nerd and successor Buhari Okay, I don't know which of the Buhari we're talking about but that's the much we can take this morning on the daily independent newspaper Open up on Qatar is a standby It's good to have you join us this beautiful Monday morning. I'm not sure if it's beautiful. Well, it's very sad Good morning, I see Okay now, but what do you make of you know this headline it's dominating we'll be dominating the front pages for national dailies gunmen disguises Worshipers, that's what the punch is squatter to say massacre over 35 in on those state Well, the The massacre Is being Contemporized in the media And that's a while it would just be the loud but what happens in this country when criminals make barbecue of Nigeria The security situation or insecurity the country has this apocalyptic dimension With the confirmation of death and mother by these criminals that are treated With kids gloves and so the week have up with infinity Just because we have this cataclysmic leadership by President Muhammad of Buhari Who is not bothered? No change of conscience probably because Is none of his family members is a big thing And so at the end of it or the matlaka they go on air And to be very complete nonsense the government has failed We are headed slowly But steadily and even so shortly We render with energy in this country This is not a test That's why I said for now If you make the headline and after that it will figure out and in business as usual Because we are the government that put it to protect life and property And the government has recreated that obligation It is sad And that is why even Nigerians clamoring for self defense And all in the government to allow Nigerians use They are going to protect themselves But the federal government Is not ready And I'll take depth here to that. I know that Honorable Adi Adebu Who is I think chairman of the committee in the House of Breaks or finance or whatever Proposed a deal with that effect But nothing has been heard Mercy it is quite sad Unnerving This happening That we live in a country Where all the federal government is interested in Is looting the trade group Every day you hear an accountant general of the tradition has stolen so much money and admitted to bill If former SGS stolen so much money and admitted to bill Uh, CCTV man Disclose that that would that Disgrace he displayed And it's a loud feeling you have a magoo That has been indicted Isn't promoted to AIG and retired And when you have people committing all kinds of crimes it's impunity. What is your question? Tomorrow they come to tell you these are not Nigerians What is my business if they are Nigerians or not? It is your duty to protect us. If they are not Nigerians, how did they get this? If the borders are closed, what do you do? You see you have a government that is reckless Completely reckless and insensitive to our apply And this thing will continue and that's why I said we're ahead and so because When a man is pushed to the world he bounces back with his double efforts I will not sit back and allow you to slap on me like a cow I won't do that. I will defend myself You see a man with a gun You start a responsible man. You start asking questions. How did you get this one? How did you do this? This is a security oppressive Who asked this a person man? How did you carry this? How do you rise the license? You prosecute it. You convict it to journey This case you judge yourself, you cannot go out there to arrive to the criminal's committing this massacre And you say you live in the country, you then face it completely face it Open up on Qataria. Let's also look at another caption Consensus, candidate, our best option. Buhari is insisting. I mean if it's like the presidency A lot's been going on. Of course we're expecting that the APC promise should you know Should commence at this point in time. Even though INEC had stipulated that The thought of June, apparently 4th of June should be concerned But there might just be some extension Now you have the APC saying that Consensus candidate is a best option because the president is insisting and that's it And so to some quotas you have the southern governors were saying. Oh, yes, we're saying I mean Everyone's stepping down to say let the southern governors continue. But your higher bellow has not It's not even in part of the school of thought of all of that. But really let's get to the crux of it What do you make of this one? Consensus candidate our best option. Buhari insists. I want you to juxtapose that with the fact that You know the APC If it's a Provided point, let's call it Okay, and the whole accent Is to impose a candidate on the party. There's only a subterfuge To impose a candidate on the party I just But then why are you saying it is a best option because it goes too well That is the perfect candidates might not emerge at the convention And so what he's trying to do is why is it prepared candidate to the backdoor? Why would I call it a backdoor? Because it is provided for in the electoral act. So I won't I will no longer call it a backdoor But that's the way of forcing Is perfect candidates because they are already said That these perfect candidates is close to his heart Which means they are the perfect candidates and right is who we are human beings Right in their head. We all have choices based on certain considerations So what he wants is to ensure that All the contestants Agree with him On his first candidate. That's why he said is the best option But we all know that that in an ideal democratic society You allow all to go to the polls To test their popularity And legitimacy Why are they legitimacy? No both times People make some legitimacy and legality Legitimacy is acceptability Legality has to do with law You know, so that normally you allow them to go to the polls And test their popularity And legitimation But he probably is scared That if that is allowed to happen His perfect candidates might not win And I believe that is what has been causing the procrastination I'm talking about the conduct of the convention So that they could resolve these issues Smoothing out the rats And then on the job convention You have just a consensus candidate But it is obvious that the likes of TDB Who are said is not going to acquiesce To a contest And I see one or two other persons Also saying no So everyone is on a consensus Don't forget the agency has it in their pop That you have to sign that when once the party agrees on the candidate All that will withdraw They are working in saying Which Braili's president Braili's thinking So I don't think it is the best But where is the leader of the party? So if others agree It's a party decision And the party decision is supreme But do you think Okpunabangkitaria Okpunabangkitaria, let's get to it now Do you think that this might just be Some form of consensus and agreement right here Because you have the Northern Elders slamming the regions I mean you're talking about 11 over governors Zoning of APC presidential ticket You're actually talking about the aspirants And they are not talking about non aspirants You are saying consensus So you are talking about the aspirants That is what the electoral are provided for Not you messy Not me Not non aspirants So if the aspirants agree That's weak Because the Northern Governors will slate it Why will they slate it? Because they are not happy Most of them want it So they're not to retain it It's like the hegemony So those that are vast To pass it into the South Will escalate it Don't doubt about that Even if you talk of the South You also have the South East Don't forget So the truth is What you said consensus If you think it deposed you Of those that are sparing In the party They are not considering your opinion They are not considering my opinion It is just the opinion of the aspirants That's all All right Let's also see you I mean looking at the phone page Of National Daily This morning You have inflation Volatile effects to sign post Economy ahead of 2023 polls I'm not sure Like you always say You are not an economist But let's show your thoughts on this one All right Why do you have to tell the world That I'm not an economist You come again But tomorrow now you Tomorrow now you have not a mathematician No, no Where? That on the light of this That's okay No problem That with me I already talk of Inflation, Volatile products You know This is This is an electoral cross sign And so you have just like the PPP convention There is this rumor That dollars we are flying Let's write our center $50,000, $30,000 And of course that could stimulate Inflation in the economy And politicians This is when You have so much money Inflation That could definitely make inflation So We rightly said I'm not an economist But with my little knowledge Of economics in secondary school We all know Who wants to lead inflation And when is The When you have the political hostages You have so much money in circulation That automatically would trigger inflation in the economy Let's go to the leadership now I mean You have a very Interesting headlines this morning It talks about 24 hours through the APC convention And the fact that you have The South yet to agree on a consensus candidate Not let's not forget that When we talk about the South You have the South You have the South is And you have the Southwest So So What is your question? My question now is What do you think about this? You know The whole idea of the South North Agreeing on a consensus candidate The South is not a joint consensus candidate Unless it is That candidate is imposed On the party We've only got a result Like you rightly said You have South where South is And South, South Now the Southwest You're talking about the Unibrow and Co South which you're talking about the Igles South, South you're talking about Women, Biasa, Delta And five more cross river And they all believe that they have the right That is the South is for example The Igles believes that they have been so marginalized That the best way to placate them Is to give them the precedence If they have to have the stance of belonging In other words too I agree Then you come to the South We don't have the genital But they will tell you that from the platform of PDT But you're not coming on board to rule PDT Or APC You're coming on board to rule Nigeria But what if the president's candidate is from the South South You have the Southwest They're also believe that you have the And a passenger You have the Vice-City and Vice-President But even at that They will tell you oh no So if you say If you go to the South And you want to be just and fair In actually the Southeast But that will be the case When you take on the advisement What is going on right now And the allegations against the South is Especially the ESN and IPOC They don't think anybody want to give to the South East For now Although they will also argue That if you give to them There will be a cessation of hostilities That might also be the argument But for now I don't think And the APC will give to the South is So between the South South and the Southwest Now who are the clouds Who are the nexus Who is close to Mr. President's heart Who is going to be Mr. President's political right That will be the timing And that's why they are talking of a consensus candidate Okay very interesting But fingers are actually crossed And we see how all of this You know pants out It's not all about Nigeria's society It's not all about Yes Today is the sixth If I'm not mistaken And of course we have the APC Presidential parameters Would run through the sixth through the eighth So I mean It's like one, two, three days to go Let's come back to Not in governor's position And not binding on me According to Yaha Yabella I don't get it Because right now It feels like you have an agreement I mean everyone's come to an agreement And like you know what In the APC The presidency has said And it feels like a lot of persons Were waiting for the presidency You know to make the comments in the APC Especially with the aspirant And we have you know different reports Saying that some candidates Especially from the not Have actually backed down Because you have You know this report is going out And all of the signature But you have Yaha Yabella saying Hey this one does not consent Yaya Yabella I don't know Can you hear me Loud and clear Okay I don't I don't know where Yaya Yabella is Getting in God's room honestly And I don't know what is giving him that confidence He said it's not binding on him It's not going to sound alone It's just a question of Agrocentrism You know Everybody who is in this race Is not there in the image Of the electorate or Nigeria And they are just there to For their own, for themselves And that is why he's saying It's not binding On him And that's also going to be But you see The truth is I listened to him yesterday On the sister station And he was full of a provocation In one breath he said Anybody the president brings forward Is going to accept In another breath he's saying Oh because The issue of the decision by The not Is planned on Mr. President's presence To a southern candidate Now he is very ignorant Of that preface Then why he also said He attended a meeting Where the issue was also muted So it's a matter of double speak And he is saying The decision of the not And not binding on him So I don't really know Where he's going to get his thoughts But when you have the President, you have the Prefect Candidate When the Prefect Candidate makes it I can tell you Willy-Milly He will lose Even if he goes ahead To the polls Because they will team Against They will team up against it He's definitely not going to get it I can tell you automatically He's already out of the race Not because he's not popular Not because he doesn't have the Quality Or he doesn't have what he takes But because there is already The decision to zone to the south And every other person That will advance to this decision Will be on the zone Out of how many as we have Give two or three Say they disagree They will lose Others will back The candidate of Mr. President So they will have to go to Another political party To realize that ambition So whether he agrees Whether it is binding on him or not Is completely immaterial Let him pray That a lot of people Including the president Will agree That they should be thrown open But once they know That Mr. President Is looking at the southern candidate The question will be Who will be that southern candidate And I can tell you Where you have 13 as well At least 9 will support the southern candidate And that candidate will win at the election So what he thinks Or whether it's binding on him Is not consequential at all I mean it's a lot of confidence for you When you say that that candidate will win You know at the general elections A lot of Nigerians might not agree With you on that particular one But let's move away from that Let's also speak with them No, I agree with you on which one You say that whatever candidates That you have 9 persons agreeing amongst the 13 Would become the candidate That the APC would definitely accept And of course On the long run Would become the candidate That will win the 2023 election I don't say we will win the election No, don't say that please I said we will win the primaries Not the election please Okay, that's fine As it's okay for all of that clarity But let's look at this one now If we understand that You have a group of persons Who have been agitated And asking for They are saying that they haven't been part of the system They feel marginalized As a matter of fact they have been marginalized And so If you also look at the gentleman's agreement That is not recognized constitutionally You talk about the principle of zoning And those who actually enshrined it And it has become a practice One more thing that you know The APC should have conceded Saying that oh this is what it is A certain region is asking And the argument across the board I mean allow me Is that every region in Nigeria Would have a person that's capable So the issue of capacity They have you know What it takes to become president Or occupy a certain office In every region you have A certain individual that has that capacity Why has the APC Not been very definite with your decision Because when you say You are allowing the presidency to this Zoning to the south You know that you have the south south You have the south east Then you have the south west So why Why has the APC not been very definite With your decision What zone exactly If you had me clearly I said Normally for equity planet and justice They should go to the south east I have my preferred candidate Roti Michibu Kamichi Now the truth is South south Yes But I say is that of equity planet and justice We should actually go to the south east But for certain reasons For now They might not want to give it to the south east That's why they would be considered the issue of DSN and I4 Although the south is not able to also argue That that is a function of marginalization and strategization And that if they are given Is to put an end To mark the situation of hostility If I said this So but then It is not up to you or the public It is up to Buaren And his colleagues are looking at That's the issue That's the point there And that will also I would not want to say This should be true open Yes, this is just a let the south south context Sorry, let the south And from among the south you choose If the north calls on the evil On the south east On the south south On the south west five But that will not happen They will not have such a How am I supposed to say That he will so to speak The president will force a candidate That last issue Don't know the word I wanted They will not be given the last issue So the president will force a candidate He already has a candidate close to his chest And that is that candidate He will have to force on the party He has said no I will not disclose the identity of the candidate Because they will kill him And that is what he's trying to do That's why he's insisting On a president from the south Now if you go to the south east If you go to the south west If you go to the south south We will know Maximum 24 hours from now We will know But if we talk about equity And justice We should actually do the south east But I don't see them giving me to the south east That is the truth about it Okay, so but we need to move away now I mean because we're out of time But the question is Why I mean understanding You know the issue that we have at hand Understanding the dynamics And we're talking about democracy We're talking about fairness here We're talking about justice and equity And one would say that Why would the APC not consider the exact issue I mean why do we have to You know dilly-dally The why is what I just explained to you Nelson ESN, iPod I just explained everything The why Although there will also be a counter argument That you have that Because they have been marginalised and discriminated against But that is your thinking That is my thinking Will that be their thinking That is the issue That is the fact I'm not saying That is what I said Because I've been told Open, not normally Well we But it won't be told Open That's okay Thank you so much Okpunabong,
