Let's quickly welcome our guest today. Call our a Who's illegal practitioner to the color? Thank you very much for time. Let's quickly You're welcome Let's really start with this one since it falls within your domain as a legal practitioner I'm what I think what's what is your ticker the cock nullifying the Ogun PDP governorship primary? Is this something that I mean what what are your thoughts on this general? When you look at the Electoral law and also the I'm like regulations Guiding the conduct of party cameras You will see that there are no ambiguities in those laws First and foremost You must put a neck or no key of the primary the forms must have been properly obtained the support and failed and Of course, I'm next must be present Where the primaries are being conducted? Well, you find that are too many times Not just the PGP When they are conducting the primaries The other people have obtained some They will not put all of them on notice As you got the time and place Where the primaries will be conducted? You find that are too many times all the different political parties don't follow the rules and regulations of I'm neck and also the constitution of their own party. So if any aspirants is agreed chances are that such a party will go to court and Then there is issues and when issues are raised and then the court finds out that the party has not complied with its own constitution I know who's a regulation such party primaries are banned to be Caught by the court. I suspect that is what has happened with regards to the primaries Now the daily trust talks about 23 Kaduna trained passengers who were Experiencing or sealing the hands of their captors. I mean six months and they're asking that the president should leave up to his promises well I'm not sure that the president Is ready to live up to his expectations I'm also not to show that our security chiefs Are also ready to live up to expectations We are being in this dilemma for more than 10 years and I would think that after 10 years the security chiefs especially agencies like The security service that the DSS the military intelligence the Nigeria intelligence agency should be abreast of the sources of this insecurity that we have in the country but Sadly, they seem to not to be on top of this again if anybody is Still looking towards present value to find solutions to our own security The person is merely waiting for God's because the president a month or two ago I said he's eager to Go back to Cassina and go back to the next president and take a rest He has tried his hand on the security So for certain and years now He has been unable to find solutions so Is it a few months that is remaining that we now be able to find solutions to their security? Let us just pray that Whoever may be coming to power in 2023 As the president as governor and senator and what I will we be people Who are ready and who are eager and who are the world without to provide security? For the Nigerian people our security agencies have been presented Better police water bill So if the security agency is infiltrated you will require to approach that security agency and they will organize it for you to be able to deliver The services that is required by the Nigerian people Remember just a few weeks ago. It was in the paper that One dismissed officer of the state security service DSS Participated in the robin of the bullion van Somewhere in the South East We have also in the past See now, I may have polices simple these officers being accused of participating in robin beautiful for the airline and Is that has happened in some other kinds and countries The authorities will look into the ranks of some security agencies Fish out the bad guys among them and then you organize the agency But have you seen that apple in this country? It doesn't happen So long as those security agencies continue to secure The incompetent leadership that we have in the country in power They will never be interested in making the security agencies do what they're expected to do But today our security agency are incompetent when you come to investigation It's really discreet investigation. They are also incompetent in prosecuting cases We're talking about Let's say we'll still stay with it You were talking about the fact that the president had given assurance to Families of those who were kidnapped and we're talking about And President has been believed to be a man who has integrity So we can't be saying that you know the president makes a pledge or you know gives his words and says Don't worry. We will get this persons back to you You know within the period is six months and counting and how many months before you know the tenure of this government ends before he leaves office But my reply to you will be Is it the president that will go into the forest? To go and rescue those people The answer is no. It is a security people and if the security people have their life to their responsibility And this bandit has been going on for so long They would have developed a template by now to rescue people whenever they are talk tech Look at what the American people teach They came all the way from the US because that's one of their citizens Was a talk tech and they came to our forest. They are rescue the person If people can come all the way from the US, why is it so difficult for us the citizen? the landowner Difficult to rescue our own people I don't know whether you have traveled to the north before. The north has no forest. They talk about forest They are all grassland. When you fly over the north With the niacabs or inside the plane, you will be seen everywhere on the floor So what is so difficult? Technologies are also there to rescue people So I'm not too sure that I want to rely on the assurances of Mr. President Let the president Just begin to run right is and over loot and let us pray Then we have people who know about what to do Come into power in 2003 All right, let's go back to the nation newspaper It's like other papers give some coverage to the situation regarding more take one the quest by governor Rotimi occurred a little to procure arms for the outfit saying that of course in previous days the papers have covered You know reported that he is saying that the the african's function successfully Efficiently without arms and that they will get it at all means but the presidency today It stated in the nation replying Accurde who himself is an APC governor that no state can carry arms Can arm its security outfits and it's called cautioning against politicization of security or thoughts The president may be right in the sense that the Constitution Has not given power to any of the state To even establish a police And also I'm sort police and even to consider giving them the power How many of those states? How do we know? Set up and you quit those security agencies that they may be setting up and according to I mean in accordance With the international best practices and standard The answer is no most of them are bankrupt They haven't paid salaries for a long time now and then Even the arms and ammunition that they are going to take on some of the security of it that is established They are busy look at the number of people that they are material in No, you're for example in Those days for example But they are so they have done with the pump action going that they are calling presently so I Want to say you require to amend the Constitution to be able to Create safe police and also give them the arms and ammunition that they require To do whatever they need to do more importantly We must be able to set very high standards and do diligence into people will include into most of these Security outfits the whole deputy commissioner of police has been accused of Participating no adding an abetting drug and trafficking the same person has been accused Getting an abetting. Yeah, we are who boys So you have also mentioned this morning the case of it is needs the DSS official Who participated in a number of the operation? I mean it is nothing of pressure in the south south The crisis is a very deep one it's a problem That you need people Who have the courage who have the foresight and who are not ready To endure the security chiefs with regard to the performance of their jobs Well, I'd like to show your thoughts on this you're a legal practitioner It's on the punch among all the papers. It talks about the United States courts that jails Abew dunes x8 for stealing 20,000 identities it's a very few of them but For Nigeria As a nation You will collect now that young man is said to be the deputy of staff To the government of the states and so if somebody high-ranking person like that as Identity theft and fraud then What would you think the internet in the community? We'll be looking at our politicians and public officials So far they wouldn't have any good things to say about it. They will begin to treat all of us with suspicion And that is the reason when you travel outside the country as soon as you get to the airport And you are prohibition the greener passport. You are treated with a odium You are immediately suspect somebody to the worst well The law are taking its course America is not Nigeria where you can bend the rules to satisfy And the political office orders I'm more important the tool. They are doing this case as a game Open the Pandora bus The most of the people you have as politicians today about one time or the other In case you want for more criminalism or the other either so that sounds for their political ambition or To be able to live a life of assurance Which they are not entitled to by virtue of their vocations We need to as a nation tighten the rules the more permitted in the dispensation of justice and also ensure That both the tiger and the fly When they are caught in the web of the law They get you poor punishment All right, so they call out. Well, we need to go now. Thank you so much for being part of the breakfast.
