I mean, it's not like he's Been compelled to be the president of the country if he feels like he can no longer take the heat that's coming from the kitchen Probably might not just be too late to take a bar, but how many more months just before that Bex university lecturers say is enough is enough Again, to Nubu Shatima You have the clerk the clerk Boonee Bajabia Miller orders differ over the muslim muslim tickets apc governor's visit president Okay, to Nubu and Shatima's ticket And also you find vice president Yamio Shiba Joe to Nubu governors, you know shun for apc grand rally today article order pdp leaders, you know shogu for a delicate and thirsty and shun grubba gunman attack Label party candidates and residents fire outbreak in our court candidates house I mean all of this is happening one at the same time Nigeria security crisis assuming dangerous dimension says the acf Lagos government orders pop into boat mishap Just before we move away from the Nigerian tribune You have we use u.s.

Thank you so much chris for making out time to be part of the breakfast Thank you very much for having All right, then let's start off with the uh, let's start off with the last one the Nigerian tribune Niger last 4.2 trillion crude oil revenue in six months now This is not because we want to actually use or uh, we want to just be on the other side of the divide It's because according to opec. We haven't met our quarter that's been Given to every, uh, you know country at a time producing country So our quota for the past six months Nigeria has not met her quota and that has resorted to losing 4.2 trillion naira That is no news. That's a mess if you ask me. It's no news Is a no fire And this has been prolonged not just our inability to meet our quota in the past six months But if that remains that um Level of oil theft, especially within the Niger Delta area in the past few years has been enormous And even the president and npc and other illegal authorities have come out to raise an alarm several times And um, I want to ask, uh, those Oil Is to limit by ghost of course not the agman base and so many I can say there are so many interest groups that are benefiting from that art And we need to question ourselves and also need to What is happening? And I'll please that Really on the future or the federal government And then it will mean so a large extent to the state government That's more Because soon relating to crude or oil is within the exclusive links Or of the 1999 constitution as amended so if anything happened within that sector then the federal government Had responded That is a one part then second part is that crude are not going to be with just Booker boots massive This is a very huge multi-billion either business And this In the in the use of tankers when I made some cuts not talking about the Um Normal Petroleum card the ones that you see on the street. I'm talking of high very very huge ship that um Ferry put on For the globe and that is why you bridge to question the activities of the Niger Navy And I want to I want to discuss the conduct my journey because the Niger Navy has the Lights to be able to put our See and this Chief Chief coming to the country and still is and Get away from our waters and this Is a very all parts of the world So you can see that is a huge Confirmed. There's also the issue of the nns DC Really to be different Which is also how that responsibility of making sure that Those most of our pipelines and Those Wells are well protected, but what are they doing? Don't forget that really good luck Administration and the administration that one of Agreement Yeah, the contractors And to protect the pipeline and also some of these ones that I think that was just Once the Came into power in 2015 and what we are having now it's a high caliber of Uh The Put on Nigeria by various It's not just a You and I cannot go into such business. This is a business By Billionaires and millionaires in dollars not just And I just believe that Have anything to do with that and they don't want to live that because if they want They know the right to do 4.2 You can make what that can do to our economy. We are not Open packet So about um, Chris came the one do you have mentioned that this is not new because it's it's something that's been going on and Yes, the also you also have an excuse on the other hand saying that old theft and Uh, vandalism is also a problem So which exactly is the issue now that we're Not making this money. We have lost It's a lot like you said 4.2 trillion are is it that It's the old theft that's taking Dominance or it's the fact that we're not meeting Uh the upek quota It's balkanin if you if you remember to produce more put that as most of those two links To the oil or dry If you remember to lay their hands on it and It you meet your target. The fact is that most of the Target that probably not be able to Export as much as possible. Don't forget the fact that several of these ios is are living the country I know that some of them have showed that their operations in the night. They're dead I have to look to other parts of Africa and gula gana Other countries, they are more completely friendly We have a large truck of oil within the Oguni And you know that the problem that we have in Oguni for a long time The government and the island is especially sure and no single oil has been tripped within the area Has a large truck of oil They don't want me initiated a plan get good Land and water And clean We haven't seen us environmental issues there Next day, we're not going to have done much as we thought It was not so much if we were here and we don't might not Let's report us Most of this Clean up is just Has to be stored and not listen to the happening So this is a combination of so many things and you cannot just In fact, the fact is that what we're not meeting at is because majority and most of our crew that is going and Might be too much is there to steal this And And I will tell you for free is that also with the collaboration of some government officials It is going to become government officials and then the government know they know what to do if they want to do but they know what and also remember that the Oil is so much to hide demand now with the pressure Because of the war going on between Korea and Ukraine So And But Bunkers and rest of them are making a way of it. So it's an escalative situation It's not So most of these issues are paid And the fundamental behind this problem So how do you react to this or the Capture on the margin tribute? And I mean it feels like we might just be here for a bit just before we move away It talks about the fact that the president is saying that he's eager to go Do you think the president is really eager to go because if he is Then he should have Gone If he's eager to go someone like most ninjas we We Failed in all indices all the promises he means to He has he has held on them and this is somebody that's had made about three or four President He was trying or not even you saw him with the handkerchief and crying So people went to go and beg him and And dress him in And And then got him to Got him to sit Personally Now today But why would the president um Chris came then wonder what why do you think the president should be making? I mean saying that he's eager to go at this time when he knows that How many more months do we have just before uh 2023? We're just you know a few months away from 2023 And the president is now saying that he's eager to go Does it mean that the president is overwhelmed and if he's overwhelmed by The happenings or uh the things going on in the country It's it's still we still have enough time for the president to take a walk You said it now you say it's overwhelmed and the man is about I just have to say look up violence The man don't tire he don't tire you see don't pass Not passing capacity In fact, you use the the local What I mean is that The money May have the interests of my dear But his state of health has not had matters And that is why we're also saying that that people are running around and seeing all sorts of things This person Some people don't have the capacity. It's not just say that I want to I want to become the president There are so many things to read You must have the same state of health to be able to do your job because the president of Nigeria is a 24-hour job It's not like being It's just one state look at government chairman is just one look at The president of over 200 million Nigeria's And FCP combined 700 and 74 local government you be having A governor had nothing to do with international politics He's just confined himself to just the state appeared but a president goes beyond that So he's not just anybody wants to wish Of course What is to have a wish and also another thing for me to have the capacity to do was supposed to show the man We just say we don't even know our best nothing that is not he said They have been saying he's not coming to that If he had his way he would have I don't I mean And just go Chris came day we were seeing what's going on in Different parts of the world we're talking about government and governance and other countries if if the president feels Pressure or the heat is too much from the kitchen Then he's not under any You know obligation his not it's not compulsory that he has to continue to be the president He can resign and i'm sure that the constitution Conceives that as you know an option for him. He doesn't have to wait until the end. He can take a work As simple so it probably might just be it might just be you know Um Another statement or words that's been put on but chris we we don't have to dwell so much in that So we're able to look at all the issues this morning on our papers Now let's turn attention to the leadership on the leadership apc defends the choice of shatima As tunubu's running mate And you have all the papers. I mean this is just dominating all the papers but reporting differently But one and the same thing if you want to ask me right here He's saying that apc defends the choice of shatima as tunubu's running mate and tunubu himself had talked about The reason why he chose shatima that's because he couldn't what talking about the muslim muslim ticket Because prior to this announcement, there's been a lot of buzz On different platforms and nigerians have been talking about Having a muslim muslim ticket and he said the reason is that he chose shatima for competence. I mean He couldn't he couldn't have you know looked at any other parts because Couldn't really find a competent candidate would be a christian How do you Sure that Even the president So many things many factors that people that may not One could be sitting there cabbie to a big christian party under which Iran You see and so many people even from this family they could even be from the white What do you want president? Where do you want to go to? So a man even if he decided to go So many people are and do we not allow him so he has Damage has been done Effectively Is that we find ourselves the past Eight years Defend what I want to defend This dog knows I have no choice than to kill him. I think for freedom. Most of them are not happy with that choice They will come out and tell you that what they support because they have Do you know what made his choice? But to me it's It's complete a lot to tell me that out of close to I don't know how many million Nigel's we haven't got probably up to one to two million Not an ass and within that range probably up to 40 million could use I say you cannot find one single christian in the north that is competent enough if I'm using his word and shatima To qualify and it has to be a muslim I have no problem with that. I think that the electorate to determine in 20 But that made his share in sensitivity on the path of Tinnubu and his party don't forget that it's not a custom that you know, we try make that happen In 2015 he wanted to run with president Muhammad as the first presenter candidate to worry And on a muting muting ticket and so many the party And the president himself thought I guess that that is not possible It was during that period. I wrote in the nominated Yemi Uchibaki The vice presidential of a piece what they have done is what he has obscured, but I think I always say the choice is seen But he said if I the power does that the same government The APC that there should be a power change from the north to the south I'd be once now also Both and And doesn't a muting ticket Quite is a paradox for me, but As I said He has been to make his choice Not my dear has got to make their choice What he's saying and which from somebody the statement in which I meet in the group is that This is another night And it's just like doing that the other days what happened That chose a Muslim as his As presidential candidate asks you In 1993-2022 as you said in 1990 with 1993 Do we have the problem of security? Do we have a church that we attack people being killed and leading? Do we have to learn this? Be sure you know so many big in the past few weeks Oh that the situation is what it is And we are not as polarized now as we were then Too much in unity in 1993, but now you can see the problem across Nigeria has problem the south east In the north east in the north west in the south west everywhere polarized as one ethnic and religious line Somebody's tell us is is another That's it is his choice and his choice of nineties Hey Well, you you actually just answer the question of if this is anything close to what happened in 1993 I mean the fact that Nigerians were willing to ignore whatever it is Well, you have answered that question. So we move away. Let's still look at the leadership newspaper this morning Very big and very threatening and scary if you ask me It's something that a lot of people have pondered. There's been A lot of thoughts around This whether or not there would be an elections in 2023 and yeah, you have As the court is saying that terrorists may not allow elections to hold in 2023 Judging by all that's going on. I mean, let's let's look at it now With all that is really going on you have the fact that this The presidential there's been an attack on the presidential advance convoy or team And attack on the presidential's convoy whether the president was there is as good as attack on the president himself You've also seen that there's also been a threat to You know the Airways we've also seen a threat an attack on the defense academy I mean one would think that that would be the surest and secure place We have seen the prison that holds very highly Sensitive persons who are being held for crimes of terrorism Been a tats in the federal capital territory with all of this and looking at this statement. What are your thoughts? May I want to be a patriot and uh so Let me be a patriot and say that Let me not Within the negative Conclusions but In 2015 we had simulation probably if not We have now and especially between us the north west and north And a nation has to be postponed for some kind of um clearance The president How to put everything in hand all his future life forward to make sure that most of the areas that we are under the Uh control of Boko Haram and other terrorist schools We were to gain them back and that Have a lesson Last week I was a I was one of few editors who had a one-on-one Interview with people of Amistar Uh And The celebration and because of our Yes, that everything will be done by the village including the That And I want to take him to the West That's the resurgence of terrorism and What I would like Look at what's happening In a place like the constitution state And some of the candidates Been attacked that of me How to rush out and make some twist last night before like that was under attack But I don't know by whoever then that of the acrobatia also sets them There will also be a level of Attacks here and there, but I believe in this issue And things the Japan is not just The chairman of national Also few weeks back The issue of its security may affect the 2023 election and the hood and secret agents are Are doing it as they can to be made sure that it's a lesson whether they like it or not medicine I'm not good for this All right Let's just quickly look at the punch newspaper on the punch newspaper Power generation drops We know that and discourse federal government battle for control We know that we have talked about privatization and privatization was not done entirely so Government still is responsible for generation But distribution It's privatized, but but do you think that government should be that's the issue government should be concerned about the control of distribution Is a is a value change message starting from generation to distribution and And then the problem we've always had and let's say it does privatization of the Or never whatever you call it The issue now is not even generated The issue is that even the ones that have been generated. We cannot stupid That is why you see the national bridge dropping every other Like a cat You see that the most of what has done you drop in 2000 hours time I think it was even a slower 200 We have not been enough capacity To more infrastructure in place to maybe to see what have I been generated I generate generate and look to the discourse to this most often than not is that they cannot even be good Because what we have presently cannot be good to take that as little as 5000 so Thinking of investing more I personally could you ask me past my personal opinion? I think that those mindsets is given to the To the discourse To be rebooked And we should find a much more balanced way that's The contents are inside and as we say in law Can finally contact the content that is signed sealed and delivered Those we will look at this process People will not shut ourselves back and see whether there are areas where we can be because The discourse I've been going into bankruptcy Go and check what is going on. Most of them cannot even pay their bills So so so the problem so the problem is the discourse so our problem now Challenge down is not generation, but it's distribution The banks the banks are ready to take nobody to school Go and look at Abuja Go and look at me if I know what is going on. Most of them. I don't need to measure the bank Let me know about the The discourse because they get them so much money to be and they cannot even pay So we have a serious problem managerial infrastructure and also And the strong one we are government going to be also in that economy So but the fact that we're not even generating enough because we're talking about the fact that what we have generated We're not even able to Distribute If we look at what we're even generating isn't even enough to distribute if you want to go by it Because over time this discourse would say that the problem does not lie on them because you cannot give what you don't have So how do you distribute what you don't have? You also you have to ration and manage what you have and that's why you have what it is So you have different sector. I mean, it's really interesting to see that and the few In some days that have passed we have constantly talked about The inability for some hospitals to function Properly we've had situations where hospitals have said they were going to be charging They are patient and a few of a thousand there for every day for electricity And you also need to consider that How much are we generating the the power plant? I was going to say refineries But one and the same thing almost the power plants that we have according to You know the the postulation the capacity for it is that it should produce about 12,000 megawatts plus But we haven't even produced close to that. We're producing below So how then is the problem the issue of distribution when we have just 2000 or 3000 megawatts to distribute To a population of over 211 million people. I'm still trying to understand how the discourse are the problem Mercy, this is where we're going back to the issue we raised when we start And you can't even buy the money you want to go Good So what I'm saying is that the money is not okay This is to support APC in 20 people for missiles that on a yearly this technology Get 10,000 megawatts into the national grid In the between that that is by by that would have had about 70,000 But instead of 70,000 we are surely between 4,000 to 3,000 So we are not generating a totally agree with On the area of generation we are not generating enough What am I going to say is that even the 4,000 we are generating we cannot even distribute So you can see that there is a serious problem within the reach Sometimes it goes up against some years back one One minister of power came out to We did the process of that there's some which or something that That is stopping on that. I'm sure if you've heard that minister very very well That is the very good When somebody like a professor but Came in as minister of power And he was on the road of making this possible But what's happened they prostrate in the act of it Chris we have to go now Chris thank you so much. We have to go. I mean I've had a great time talking to you this morning And sharing your thoughts and some issues a bit Comical if you ask me well, you have raised a valid points and insights and we're hoping that Different stakeholders would swing into action. It's okay for us to talk But it doesn't end in talking. We're talking about implementation And if there's no doing then there's nothing to hope for Thank you so much.
