Right now we are sitting here, you can confirm, with your colleagues here, we have electricity, and we find electricity through today. So these chief makers will tell you stories. Of course we don't have the perfect system of electricity, we are working on it. Before the re-came, I was in Biasa too, and we had huge problems with electricity. And if you don't have electricity you can't trade, you can't do business. So the first thing the governor did was to make sure that at least that is halfway stable. That is what we call work in progress. So we are not totally in darkness. We don't have a three hours light per day. We have more than that and the town is definitely not in darkness. A lot of places are complemented with solar energy for the benefit of the night because electricity is quite expensive in the moment. You will also attest to it. With the rise of dollar, we don't have the right instruments to run electricity and every state has the same issues. So I don't think that should come into a political discourse. I'm also because at this juncture we still have the monolithic national transmission entity. But I hope that Governor Durie is one of those governors taking early enough initiatives to articulate and transform the new power act. The 2023 electricity act into domesticating it and making sure that it transforms the electricity network infrastructure in Biasa. I hope so. Well, that's quite true because as a diaspora focal point officer, one of my main concerns was electricity. The government made several trips getting investors to invest in electricity. But the federal policy was not friendly. So it became difficult for investors to just buy it. But right now that they have opened up that, we are very sure going to take advantage of that surely. If I may just ask, were you once in the diaspora, how come you end the portfolio? Was it because you are a returnee? Is it because you are a returnee? I am not a returnee. I am in the diaspora. I actually live in Germany and Nigeria both ways. And I guess by the very standard of what you see in Germany, which city do you live in Germany? I live in a small village called Gershkamen. That is in the state of Northern Westphalia. Oh, Northern Westphalia. That's actually the most commercially powerful state about the equivalent of Lagos in Germany. So I just wonder, I wonder if you use the things that you see there. If you use those things to encourage the quality of governance that you see in your national or ancestral state of Bajesa. We are doing what we can do. There is no magic in it. You work slowly with developed policies that matches the moment. When you have developed policies, they don't prop one minute to the other 55. You have to work and if you have to get used to it, what the diaspora has done. Very notably is our contribution to the process of democracy in Bajasa state. I think that other states can copy from us when it comes to that. Governor Diri gave the chance. We contributed very well. We did a lot of sensitization programmes so that we can be able to avoid violence during the elections. And apart from sensitization programmes, we offered a lot of educational programmes on democracy for the electorates. And then we are also involved in a lot of empowerment programmes which comes good for young people that are out of school or young people that are out of jobs. What is this issue the governor has said to be having with pensioners? Pensioners are said to be aggrieved and angry because they don't feel that they are kept up well with them. Don't you think that may affect the post part of being re-elected? You know that during election period there are a lot of mischief makers. It will be very good to record that before Governor Diri came pensioners are definitely not paid in the state. Some of them will hang out there trying to get a bit of money they have worked for. And if he collapse while waiting in a huge room and Governor Diri has eased all that up and I have not heard that pensioners are complaining. At least I am in the grass roots. I turn around the city every blessed day. And this is a new story I am hearing that pensioners are complaining. I don't think so. The government of Bias estate is the highest employer of labour. Before even the month gets up to 25th people has received their salaries. So council that discussion of pensioners doesn't exist. And the security situation at the moment, how is it? Bias are at least on a positive note at this point relative to the two other states. Emo and Kogi were off-cycle elections to be taking place. Bias are seems at this juncture to be having some little positive. But having said that our security is still an issue in Bias, isn't it? Well yes because of having to make sure that ensure the lives and properties of the electorate and securing them is from these chief makers. If it's about PDP and DOEA theory alone, there will be no problem at all. Biasa is a very peaceful state. I think that in Nigeria Biasa can count as the most peaceful state. It has also been internationally recommended that Biasa is the most peaceful state in Nigeria. It's just because of the election one or the other person props up to destruct the peace we have here. But nonetheless, our NGO has called on the IG of Police to intervene. And we had a very little, very minor, hardly mentionable issue and intervention came and peace has been restored in that part of the state again. I wouldn't want to be caught disagreeing with the lady ever since I left my name. We can try sir. No, no, I won't do. It's been a gentleman too. I'm also a gentleman. But having said that, at least one is a bit gladdened that at this particular round of humanitarian elections in Biasa relative to the history of humanitarian elections in the state. This seems thus far to be somewhat relatively peaceful. I just hope that the security agencies from the police to the armed services will not be losing their guards because it's not over until it's over, they usually say. But we need to go to… Exactly. And also this untoward phenomenon of militancy. Is militancy a problem in any way shape or form in this round of elections? Not that I directly know of. Not that I directly know of. Even though our contenders vice, our contenders deputy governor has been connected to this kind of activity. You have so many contenders my lady. So out of 15 contenders than 15… One of them, one of them. Okay. And you don't want to mention one of them? I can, I'm not scared of mentioning names you know because it's true. The candidate of APC, his deputy has been connected to militancy. The first thing he did was to improve on the security policies. And militancy is not such a huge problem for us right now. And I don't think also that before the elections it would be a huge problem. We did and I participated also thanks God. I'm very rich on experience right now. We did a whole tour of Bariasa State from all the creeks to every town. And nobody is complaining about militancy in the moment. Actually Bariasa is relatively safe. My fear is what will happen after the election. But thanks God I am quite convinced that government delivery will be returned back. So the thing about security will continue to enjoy it. And the fact that Bariasa is a peculiar geographical terrain. Geographical you know, has been a state that is sprawling on a body, on a major body of water. I just wonder what it will take logistically to campaign across the eight local government areas. Yes, people have local government areas in Bariasa. And the sprawl is possibly over the Atlantic Ocean, isn't it? That's true. And have you guys touched every nook and cranny all the local government areas? Yes we did. We made a complete tour of the state. And we touched everywhere. And the result is that Diri is loved even before the elections. Diri knows his state and his taste knows him. Diri is not a first timer when we talk about politics. He had been the secretary to the IYC in those days. It was through their effort that NDDC was formed, for example. So he knows Bariasa very well. And he didn't spare any time. He visited everybody, talked with everybody, asked with everybody. And yeah, it's not a cheap thing to go to the rivers, but we did. Anyway, like you already said, his antecedence politically is quite... He was a member of the House of Representatives. He was a member of the Senate. Indeed, he fortunately flew the grace of the Supreme Court and the governorship seat as a sitting senator. But having said that, Dr. Roslyn Dressman, we really have to wrap it up at this point. How would you want to end? How would you want to wrap this up? Well, I would want to advise the electorate to go home. They should not worry. They should not be scared. Everywhere is secured. Nobody should make them uncomfortable. They should go home and vote for their candidates. And by the grace of God, we will all have to celebrate because we will bring back government of the Edurie and security will continue to reign in Bias' state. And all the projects that the governor has initiated, he will complete them and the electorate citizenry will benefit from it. So any Biasan that is listening to me right now, please go home. Wherever you have registered, where your town is, your world, your unit, go and vote. What is very important right now is your vote. Your vote is very important for the democratic process to end here. Dr. Roslyn Dressman, thank you so much. The etiquette of journalism is restraining me from signing off in German with you. But never mind. I will be glad to talk to you in German because I studied in Germany and I speak German very fluently. Thank you very much. Thank you. You are welcome sir. Thank you so much. We are going to short break and when we are back, we will take on more on the program.
