You have Just 30 days to eye neck Deadline For flag bearers the southern governors and insisting on power shift to the south What are your thoughts on this one? Especially when you have The dominant political parties almost silent on the issue of zoning Honestly, I sympathize with the colloquial ideas of the southern governors But we must always remember at this rotational thing the rotational path Is a gentlemanly agreement It is not impossible We must also remember That politics Is based on statistics based on hard facts Is based on concrete figures And not emotional Or moral situation As the southern governors have been putting In other parts of the country has 12,000 solid votes Which no political party Can ignore And then when you look at the southern governors They have but I think I've already About nine or ten million solid votes So if you were going to be taken to constitution The chances of any political party When is the next election Especially at the presidential level You cannot ignore That's very very hard And statistics We should also remember That most of the southern People Who have been president or head of state Have only gotten there by default And we also got there When When the coup took place in the city And Tafapa Lewa was killed And then of course to Opasendok got there by default As a military head of state And then as a civilian president Which has what happened to Adiola Opasendok could not have become president So when you also look at Most people who have helped some of these very important positions They have always gotten it On the benevolent of The northern allies What the southern allies should be doing Is really to lobby Is to negotiate Is to pally Is to pass away They are the northern allies And northern politicians To concede the presidency to them For the peace, stability And unity of the country All these vancourals' noise That they are making on the basis of newspaper We think they are nowhere In fact the less that they talk about it The more they do underground Negotiation, persuasion And nothing The better for them The cause They now hold the numerical strength As the gaza becomes The president of the federal republic of Nigeria But of course we are most re-emphasized But I believe in the constitutional presidency Tunde Kala Waleh, would you say that this Negotiations and conversations and persuasion That you have mentioned should happen within the political party It should just happen outside of political party Because I mean Both It should happen within the political party And also the leaders of talks The others, the opposition in Nigeria Could also negotiate With their colleagues In the northern part of the country To again concede the presidency to them That would be the best thing But should they negotiate Because when you mention this conversation I mean I really don't understand And I'm also trying to understand The way that it's a gentleman's agreement And over time this agreement has been going on All of a sudden Something is different Then we realize that we need to Pay attention to the issue of Competence We need to look at who can Deliver Nigeria from where they are And that's all of a sudden Because it comes to the turn of another person Does this really even make sense You see The political permutation On ground today Doesn't favor This constitutional presidency That the leading parties and the southern Procedures are talking about Like I said The APC is afraid now That if the PPPP Is the presidential candidate From the north The possibility that the northern people Which they have sold the 12 million votes Will run and vote for that person Is very very high So the APC's D3 About picking a southern candidate Which The PPPP picks a northern candidate The PPPP 2 is D3 That if the APCP is a northern candidate It's a bit difficult for them To return to power If they don't pick a candidate from the northern part Of the country That is the core reality on ground now And not talk to her in 2019 2015 2007 And 2011 I honestly believe that they can still negotiate With the people from the northern part of the country That's a lot of things from northern L.I. Who are sympathetic To the rotation of power to the south There are some hotheads Who wouldn't want power to rotate But this Negotiations are not being That is how politics is done You'll not be, you'll negotiate You'll party, you'll persuade Not to start between You'll say that This is a bit difficult All right Move on to other stories Also making headlines Let's go to the daily independent Newspaper The lead story is still on the 2023 presidency And this time around PDP is in the news And PDP governors are kicking As the former vice president Is planning to retain Peter Obea's running mate How do you see that combination That's for the first And go then secondly What will it actually Do for the chances of the party Where is that happens It will be a very small Plan Or kind of Good strategy To really get the presidency For the PDP Give it to him I think he's a veteran Of my current politics He knows the terrain very well And he also has the resources And all that And then when you look at the south He's also proven himself to be A very, very good businessman He's also on his side And with the clamor Of his people That Is to be given the presidency If they don't get the presidency And at the end of the day they get the vice presidency That might in a way Kind of Be a little conversation Even though not a good conversation For the people of the southeast I think that Siku is also looking At the geometric Of the voting population That we have in the country If that's part to build what's out The southwest will be totally hosted They will be cut off They will find it difficult To really make impact also To succeed in getting the presidency Either on the platform of the I mean on the platform of the ACT For any of these other political parties And all that I think Siku is mainly looking at the political reality On ground Whether to be able to persuade Obi To accept that It's a difference that they call Obi is also looking at his own And saying He's also considering what the e-bots would want Of you will not want to be seen As a renegade by the e-bots brothers So the ACT is a very very complicated one But I see it as a master stroke That can give the presidency The presidency For my 2020 election Let's show your thoughts on this one Four mays Shocking NDLEA Traces 22 billionaire Tramadol import to Baron To Abba Kiari What are your thoughts And do you think the Nigerians Are top of the fight against drugs And the use of drugs I'm not in support of a drug The drug destroys the youth And it destroys the society I go around it Almost on the daily basis I go to court almost on the daily basis And I've seen the rapes That drug is linked to the youth And even to some Older people So I don't support a drug But they know that NDLEA Is making over This drug-bearing thing I really have my doubts Why do I say this Tramadol is not the same thing As cocaine It's not the same thing as India hem It's also not the same thing as Some of these other drugs Like heroin and water Tramadol is a legitimate drug That pharmacists and medical doctors Sometimes prescribe for people As a painkiller So when you begin to accuse A man or a businessman For importing Tramadol And continue to name them as a drug-bearing I have my worries It could be a case of importing Tramadol Maybe without passing the due process But a Tramadol importer Or somebody who brings Tramadol into the country But the image should not be Described as a drug-bearing of the cause Drug, like I say Tramadol is not a heroin It's not cocaine It is not a cannabis Furthermore They use merely abuse it They mix it with some other things And know that to get whatever Is also that they want The NDLEA Should address the issue The way and manner It should be addressed in a proper manner If a drug Is not imported Drug That should not be sold Or taken out Let us address it that way And not label it as a drug-bearing Furthermore We can see that they have played A war review We have only said All this while Of They left it In a German police And then the BSA Security Service are not a Those organizations have been Kind of infiltrated By Chief Kolomne Who are using the taxpayer's money Who are using money both The girls bought by the taxpayer To perpetrate material activities All over the country If I could describe it That those places have become 10 of robots And 10 of drugs-bearing And all that So what requires to be done Is that the Nigerian police Will require to do outcleaning It also requires to do A kind of a dosing with them On the rank and file of it In the police form This one for the GSS Because I asked myself Is it possible for backiery And one other person To implement that thing Of fraud That they have been accused of Is not possible They would have been making return to certain people Certain senior officers in the rank and file Would have known about this thing They would have benefited from it So we need a total overhaul All right All right On the Nigerian Tribune This morning also making headlines Above the must-have Of the state And of course Of the state Have joined the presidential race They are declaring today How does that hit you? The two gentlemen Have the right To aspire To become the president of Nigeria I know as Fabio As a lawyer And the story Both gentlemen Are well educated They have also had a legal status To aspire to some of these officers For the calendar I have with them For the reservations I have With these two people is What can you point out As landmark achievement For Fabio In all the issues that he ruled As the governor Of a five-ball state Rather with due respect He was a letter of a perfect Democracy And then cruising around In a private jet I think he bought about two The salary of the governor is not enough To buy a Rolls Royce How he got the money To buy two private jets Of the cruising around with Three bits of my imagination In fact there was a time he had an accident Coming at Fabio in Abuja And then the papers were reporting That Fabio has been flown abroad In several private jets A bombardier or something And I laughed A governor, a poor lawyer Who was working with us in Lagos After four years of governorship Can now avoid two private jets As will only happen in Nigeria For fire me My reservations with him is that He is not a performer as the He says governor He is a performer as many as He is also not as fast With the high intellect With the social he has had And then If you have been given such an opportunity I mean to whom much is given Much is also expected He said as we are talking today He is going in areas of rent The schools are in poor and Disappointed conditions They said the money stays more in Lagos than he said Where is the governor And the furthermore Of the rocks Of the non-performance Of the catastrophic outings Of the APC So we also share part of the blame So when I see this kind of Character coming up to say That they now want to be our teamers They want to be the salvation Is an honor I smiled on moral gun Ethically and due to their Performances I don't think These people should have the moral So since they want to be president Of the federal republic of Nigeria The performance of firemen With regards to economics Is atrocious It's quite interesting To see that you have a lot of I mean you have If you look at the governors from the APC It feels like we're in an area Where you have a lot of Governors wanting to become president It's quite interesting and one is wondering What is really going on In the APC We look forward to having more Governors coming out To make their intentions known To joining the race for 2023 But just quickly on this one It's on the leadership It talks about resignation And you have Obey section 84 of electoral Acts This is what lawyers are saying To political appointees What are your thoughts The whole back and forth Some persons I mean appointees saying We will not So there's a back and forth with us What's the way forward Do you think they should obey it What if they don't obey it What happens Before I address your question Let me quickly Keep a one or two thing With regards to most governors wanting To become president I think it is a natural aggravation When you look at the place like the US Most people are part of the President Those who have either been governors Or have been senators In different states in the US Asked to What is the second question You asked me Yes The second question you asked me It's about resignation Lawyers are asking the political appointees To obey section 84 Of the electoral act as amended All right That tells you how Some of these politicians might be They want to if the AK can still have it The law has been made Even though it has been contested It will have been severed For those political appointees To resign So as not to stupidize Not because they have a chance For the chances of the party If they go into the election Because it's for chance Of their respective political parties And that law That has been made by the national assembly Is offered by the supreme court Then whatever Fixed that their party or the individual May have At the presidential election But it has not happened So it is severed For those people political appointees To resign their appointment So as not to stupidize Their own chances When they win the election And the charges of their respective political parties Is eventually they get Elected For people who are holding such Officers to see Continue to hold on to them And then they see that they want to contest the election What side will they even have To move around To mobilize to do undergun consultation To campaign For the offices that they want There what is the possibility That they will not be using the nation's resources And they will not be using the resources In their respective ministries In their respective parasatas To power their elections I suspect It is to present Political office orders From using the machineries of government The resources of the people To run for election That the national assembly may not know And I think the law is well made Alright thank
