We're out of time We start off with the leadership Chris The interesting conversations across the pages this morning and the first in the leadership He talks about the 2023 campaigns begins in 2023 days. Nigeria is sick competence Above party and religious Ethnic concentration. I think that there might just be you know a mix up with that paper. So as I take The nation newspaper now on the nation newspaper PDP crisis. I will crush my detractors says we can It is too late to break my ranks I take already sharing position before the polls as rivers governors Governor worst of insecurities over federal government tells Nigerians. I mean, it feels like we've been hearing that for a very long time 3407 insurgent surrendered 96 arrested by troops Abuja Khaduna highway now safe 63 or 66 terrorists killed anti-terror war to be intensified 52 captives rescued petrol scarcity looms as Ipman stop supply. It's going to be a big trouble for us How Lagos vision or how to new booze vision turn Lagos into a mega city? Well, it's not conversation. We're ready for Elizabeth trust as British Prime Minister collapse building Lagos Commissioner resigned and federal government to spend 5% tax and telecom services The headlines this morning on the nation By moving on from the nation Let's go to the next paper that the punch newspaper with some interesting headlines For us this morning the big one Muslim Muslim ticket The headline says no agreement with Tinnaboo can insist talks tough talks tough And the writers to that donation to Cooker Center not bribe to pacify Christians says can Donation to Cooker Center not bribe to pacify Christians says can Can's conscience not for sale prophetic voice cannot be silenced Christian body and PDP jittery of a Tinnaboo's visit to Jonathan According to the APC is what you're saying or none of God promises issue-based campaigns We shouldn't the best more from the punch this goes fail to utilize 1,936 megawatts Amiss blackouts is according to the federal government. So what is happening to that? It's just going to waste FG suspends 5% telecoms tax on calls and data. All right.

That's what the federal government is saying really Really because how many more months after I mean in December were just how many more months before? The tenure of this administration comes to an end led by President Muhammad Buhari It says worst of insecurities over what we cannot achieve in seven plus We're going to achieve in how many months counterinsurgency not verified Defense Minister is saying wow Economic reforms must support military Offensive that's what security experts are quoted to say and just before we move away from the daily trust newspaper death toll now 372 as floating Spreads to 33 states FCT including the FCT.

Deploy that's what the minister is saying and Buhari suspends new excess duty telecoms tariff hike Boko Haram runs shorter food and weapons as food as flood takes over Enclaves and Lagos Commissioner resigns as building collapse death toll hit six some people say this is political But we see how all of this unfolds emotion returns to winning ways Strikes gold in Berlin And that's it on the daily trust newspaper The funnel paper on our table this morning happens to be the Guardian We have a big one from that paper focusing on the crisis in the PDP the headline We care QC a ticker coa are you of sharing positions ahead of? 2023 indeed he has been in Abia state commissioning a flyover believe it or not Built by government puzzle for those who are seeing puzzle is doing nothing. And that's one for you He's sticking it up to you right there, but we can add a new song I think about one new song to sing and the the band in Abia state a puzzle came with a band for him So they did the Abia version of our city sweet as you're going to paint them I would say the area version was quite interesting to see you had a dance or two also to give them a Wikis baskin in in in the euphoria of the attention is receiving more from the Guardian all Industry FG to install new flow meters take over production Production data from all firms. Okay Trust becomes third female UK Prime Minister that's talking about least trust We have Petros Kesty Looms a Superman announces warning strike over bridging claims Buhari suspense proposed excise due to on telecom sector banks review Working hours over security concerns. We are ahead. They also were reviewing that over Dizzle issues or cost of operation and trial of parents guardians out-of-school children begins September 12th says of baski trial of parents Guardians of out-of-school children begin September 12th says of baski Interesting one right there and we're bringing up this point Of course kids Chris can they wonder to he was his take on what the papers are saying this morning. So Chris let's start with the the part the nation it also echoes what The Guardian is saying given space and attention to the crisis in the People's Democratic Party We can say he'll crush his detractors and also saying that Articule Kawa and are you are sharing positions ahead of 2023? What are thoughts on this as captured in the nation newspaper and also the Guardian newspaper? Let me bring you up to speed on the remix. That's some remix of What is it was a So what is saying is that just a remix And that whoever gives me is who I'm going to give so it's no longer so they sweet them You depend them is not now who did mean I have to give that was it done That was the remix of that song and I inside time that I wish them Govna we care to be nominated for head is next year He has so many songs now they can win him as a new Entrance the one that what a boo, you know the one that put a boomist I was sat on all over the place that The person that won had no His song. I think we can we can make a very good Artist so they probably should have a word for the best singing governor Yeah, basically they should play take a category for that so that we can all go to Atlanta next year To What is happening is Is nothing new it's just that the gladiator since the beginning and there seems to know Truths Insights and then the neck of Pdp Meeting We'll be having a meeting they make a man meeting in the next 48 hours That in itself would determine whether how you will remain as the German national chairman of PDP or whether he will go Betz the article come from what I'm also reading at the beginning and saying that Are you is going nowhere betz? The problem is that Nigeria sir I know those students of history, especially our politicians. Let me just give you a brief in 1999 the Southwest did not vote for um And he won the general election in 2003 yes, the South West okay further. Oh, this is our best thing. This is a man from our side Let us know the good for Mollusia go about so the Southwest governors And who are mostly in the 80s then decided wanting to vote for Ambassador as president then vote 80 governors ass as governors You know what happened at the end of it all That boomerang and PDP won all the states in the Southwest except for Lagos That was when I showed you a black man to know boo That was governor so that attempt boomerang so if any of these people going around as oh We're going to get another candidate who vote for the president and the president and put somebody as governor in our state It has a work man second one in 2015 some governors some people left for the end end PDP You know that to join a the nearly for the APC then Coffee message ask yourself today Where are those people all those people that let PDP I went to join a piece today They are nowhere to be found people like Sarah K and rest of them so many of the governors from PDP So what I'm saying in essence is that our leaders should be very very careful The governors of these governors of PDP should be very careful And the ones I'm even between most is Maki in there because Maki there is only governor among those for governor They're moving around that's how the second term outcome is not coming back Week is not coming back. It was just not coming back. It was the best case scenario They are moving to the Senate, but Maki has a second term and APC is very strong in In your state, so if it is like I don't be talking and trying to destroy PDP a party He himself is going to be a candidate in 2023. Then he's is making a big mistake But let's meet how this pans out in next week's and see what the PDP neck will come out. Whether are you remain or go? All right, Chris, let's take a look at the Daily Trust newspaper Let's you know go back, you know to the Bible You remember the story where I know that you were Christian and so you probably remember The encounter where the angel said to Mary that she was going to have a son and she said how can this thing be? When that she's a virgin and she has no husband On the Daily Trust the federal government is saying that in security would actually he will eliminate Let's read it the way it is. I like how the Daily Trust caption said will eliminate all terrorists by December That's what the federal government is quoted to say and my question is how can this thing be? You know the federal government is always setting targets And I remember when the former chief of Amistath Berata came became chief of Amistath He gave a say within three months that also they're about that They're going to eliminate Brooklyn Haram and the rest of them and on to he left you couldn't do that Um, I also remember that when this government came into place the minister of information Lemon man told us that what is now happening now is the last kick of a dying horse That horse is still jumping around the party you find that horse at the back beach Moving up and down. So Our leaders have been trying to set unnecessary targets for themselves But the good news for me is that that's any doubt. I'll give you to this go at least in the last few weeks We've seen some high level of Uh They are taking the the military are taking the facts to the to the terrorists and they've recorded so many successes Uh, especially in the north and you can agree with me that the attack has not been as As vast as it used to be Just here a little attack here and there now and even at that they the the military seems to be using the The new military aircraft that be that was acquired especially into canos to effective use Then my worry is that few days ago the chief of never stem chief of estaf came out to say that they are having issues with using the Airplanes on air force planes. Why because they are also running Short of aviation. Well, you know the problem within the aviation industry where the commercial operators are already crying That they are not having enough issues over that So expensive the chief of estaf is also crying at that This may affect the success so far be recorded especially in the fight against uh insurgency So I would I pray for the government the needful they find it always you tell us that um, they would eliminate insurgency by By a December this year Even the greatest of countries united states of america ocean the rest of them have not said that it's totally eliminated terrorism and rest of Um, so but let them keep their eyes on the board. Forget about giving orders on the services targets When it comes and we it's not just we know you don't need to tell us Just three days ago plus about 30 Uh, uh, 20 people. We are kidnapped in somewhere in non-postage While they were coming from a wedding. That is also part of terrorism and rest of them. So Uh, but let them keep on doing what we and But setting on a certain target is not for me because at the end of it If you don't be able to meet that target, then I just will see you as a failure. Why don't you just keep fighting and do the job? Interesting. Let's move on to the part you need to pay for a craze. Can you wonder when? The the picture right there, you know a picture story on the front page is one that leaves Makes the term the tummy turn um, I mean I I covered the The apothecary building collapse. It was quite gory the questions have had a very very tough deal a very bad deal As far as building collapse are concerned in in in legal state the commissioner for for um, uh, uh Urban developments and fiscal planning for whatever better way to have not defined it. Well, um, he's had his work cut out Uh, the the latest is of course, they say formal building collapse Copsies have been recovered and the commissioner has resigned What are your thoughts on this? Let's start with the entire building collapse And the fact that more bodies are being recovered and then you speak about the resignation of the commissioner That is a collapse too many and this is not the first time it happened over and over In Lagos and we said the problem is that nobody's been brought to book to account for uh, for this Uh and um I'm a journalist True that that that particular building had been seen several times and he was removed by the contractor and government Closed their eyes to it and we learned that the guy was always posting that he has people Over wherever and that is why so you can see that for me The the resignation of the commissioner is political to me. It's just political He's supposed to be that commissioner if he wasn't prosecuted because that means he has not been doing his job If he's sitting in his office and such is happening. What did he do about it? Not only the commission don't forget that sometimes a good the general manager general manager of the One of the authorities was also suspended. I both remember Do the last collapse that the general manager was suspended? I'm Chris is it possible sorry to interrupt remember Is it possible that a commissioner would know about every single application for every single building that is made in Lagos state a city that is the most popular on the continent Why No, no, no, no, no, I'm talking about maybe you have officials in the in the in the agency you have um So Why are you blaming the problem of Nigeria economic, social, uh, insecurity? Why don't you just be blaming the stars? Why are you giving the responsibilities everything for As far as this as far as most of this concern Anything happens here in cross tv You as a staff may not be heard responsible the managing director of plus tv with the head responsibility That is what is Responsibility so that is why he is the CEO of this so So the same thing goes around so once I give the responsibility You are supposed to get the right whether he's there I'm telling you now that they have been report that that please have been seen and don't see who sit and don't see We go at the commissioner. He has enhanced his family secretary He has those under his controllers and rest of them who are supposed to be reporting to him That is why he's the commissioner of land in and over planning or whatever you call it But that is never here for here for me I've only said that Most of this issue we have is because the those in the ministry are always going with these contractors What are the impact assessments that are supposed to be done on that duty We saw what happened today With one in the queen a collapse where a building was made for about 17 plus and somebody took it to 21 And there were people in government who didn't do anything about it until that building collapsed and killed several people including So They must have done the different but I see through that until we start holding those In charge accountable and mention that they are prosecuted We'll continue to have this kind of problem Yeah, he is the commissioner for fiscal planning and not a band involvement Idris Salako. Well, let's quickly Let's quickly take a look at the punch newspaper The top corner of it talks about 11 states universities Shroning Asu and the federal government threatens the union We haven't really, you know looked at the issue I mean most times Understanding the dynamics and what's really going on. Why is the government? You know not agreeing to the agreement that they had in 2019 If you follow if you look through I mean some of the content or the issues that asu is asking for revitalization of universities Moving across. I mean I I graduated from a university and if you look at the structure of this university There's really nothing to write on about This lecture is some of them who are professors are still earning 500,000 Naira as a professor 20 years ago over 30 years ago And some of them who are also professors right now Senior lecturers don't end up to 350,000 Naira Are the consents of asu not, you know, legitimate? Why is the federal government not shifting grounds in this conflict situation? Next I would have been surprised that we finish this review Without you coming up with the issue of asu I know how passionate you are with The issue of education and especially as a consents asu And the lecturers so I'm not surprised they're coming up with it. We come here every week I would discuss the Scottish last week and I get my view On it and I said that it's high time that I have to meet different So that we can open up the universities We might have we might have this agreement But in application that I've already said is a given take you can also Remain and stand at the point and say that you can't do anything about it My concern is not even about lectures and these people that are saying that too Last week or this week early this week You know, you said in March with a report that Out of schools to turn in and there has risen from about 13 points Over 80 million it is 50 million And that is just Certainly speaking to them and I was asking I hope that they also put Into content and add the university students that are out of school now because they're also Out of school in the past seven months ago But the rest of students are not those in federal and state university have not been to school But if this thing lingers then what is happening? What is going to happen because we're not sourcing great the waste the state universities are tried now to start Remove themselves from the astro strike a level of state universities Have decided to pull out of that strike and My university the one at the left of my first Negotiations yesterday matriculated their student that means that The out of the strike that means that moving on So I think this is the best time for us to be able to come on. Yes An agreement was signed and we continue to play that Chris we're ending this conversation now my point here is Chris I mean It should ask to shift grounds or the government should shift ground because it's a conflict situation and you have both parties Not willing to compromise But if you look at, you know, who should be shifting grounds If you if you if you if you move across the entire, you know, universities In the country you look at the infrastructures really nothing to write them about How many times chris have you had that people are coming from other paths of the world to, you know, to be part of the Nigerian education We're talking about infrastructure now. We're not even talking about I mean if you look at the welfare some lecturers have passed on Because so far they haven't even earned anything from february and some of them are dependent on this salary to take care of their Medical bills and other people are already changing profession. What becomes of our education system? Really, who is winning in all of this? Is it supposed to be politicized because that's what it looks like now Messi, I'm a chartered mediator and also a chartered arbitrator Of united kingdom and I tell you that in arbitration It's it's leave and take you don't remain understand that means that you're not going to arbitration What we're having is an issue. I'll say the time with a number that the government Is will be well-ported for refusing to abide by agreement signed with us Right the fact you don't sign an agreement and go back on it But the first remains that there is no way 100 percent of those issues are taken to be resolved So as well, I expect as it were given a government Certain factors if you mean certain did this certain demand. It might not be 100 percent We call off the strike. I give you another Automator if you give another Of our six most to be able to meet that if you don't meet that my primary response on sign not only I'm talking about the student We are talking about as to as to their students the higher home that paid off campus and for the past one year They are ready to aspire and they're going to pay again That's all right. All right, Chris care wonder we have to go And we are passionate about this matter because of time We have to go we thoroughly enjoyed your Your analysis this morning and we look forward to having you same time next week Ranka did Indeed um, uh, that was a Chris has been Chris kendrick kendrick mohammadu one do Oh, should I choose a different one? All right, Chris Yes Yeah, absolutely. Thanks a lot and have a fantastic day. We'll take a break now when we return We have our first major conversation. Of course. Let's check out what happened today in history. We'll be right back
