1
00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Nigeria. President Bolah Ahmed to Nubu has given reasons why

2
00:00:04,519 –> 00:00:07,919
he could not visit the Anguin Rocouba community, the scene

3
00:00:07,960 –> 00:00:11,839
some citizens were massacred by terrorists on Palm Sunday, saying

4
00:00:12,279 –> 00:00:16,199
upon arrival in Jos, the visit encountered some logistical challenges.

5
00:00:16,600 –> 00:00:19,679
While the road distance from the airport to Joss township

6
00:00:19,760 –> 00:00:23,320
is approximately forty minutes, the runway does not support night

7
00:00:23,440 –> 00:00:27,120
flights due to the absence of navigational aids. The constraints

8
00:00:27,160 –> 00:00:30,399
made it unfeasible to drive into town, meet victims for

9
00:00:30,480 –> 00:00:34,600
on the spot assessment and return to the airport before dusk. Consequently,

10
00:00:34,960 –> 00:00:38,439
state and federal officials decided to bring representatives of the

11
00:00:38,479 –> 00:00:41,840
affected community to a hall adjoining the airport so the

12
00:00:41,880 –> 00:00:45,159
President could meet with them promptly while adhering to flight

13
00:00:45,240 –> 00:00:50,000
restrictions swiftly. Peter Obi, former governor of a Nambra State

14
00:00:50,079 –> 00:00:53,719
and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the last general

15
00:00:53,759 –> 00:00:58,079
elections in Nigeria, said during his visit to Benaway State

16
00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:02,200
in June twenty twenty five, Bola Ahmed Tanubu stopped at

17
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:05,040
the government house but did not go to the actual

18
00:01:05,120 –> 00:01:10,159
scene where innocent Nigerians lost their lives. Similarly, in Jos,

19
00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:12,879
his engagement ended at the airport instead of at the

20
00:01:12,920 –> 00:01:16,920
affected communities. At a time when Nigerians are enduring days

21
00:01:16,959 –> 00:01:20,599
without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes

22
00:01:20,640 –> 00:01:23,879
without it. Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders,

23
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:28,359
those lacking the capacity and compassion, who prioritize their own

24
00:01:28,400 –> 00:01:30,840
comfort over the well being of the people and make

25
00:01:30,920 –> 00:01:35,319
empty promises. On the other hand, Atiku Abubaka, the former

26
00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:39,519
Vice President of Nigeria and the last general elections presidential

27
00:01:39,599 –> 00:01:44,599
candidate of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, demanded President Bolah

28
00:01:44,640 –> 00:01:47,799
Ahmed Tanubu act as the commander in chief of the

29
00:01:47,920 –> 00:01:51,319
armed forces and stated how dozens have continued to be

30
00:01:51,439 –> 00:01:55,079
killed in Benaway State less than seventy two hours and

31
00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:58,799
other killings in Kaduna’s state and thousands of people seen

32
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:03,239
running away to community in Nasarawa State after the President

33
00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:06,640
had visited Platous state and promised such attack would and

34
00:02:06,680 –> 00:02:10,800
occurred again. According to Atiku Abubakha, I wish to remind

35
00:02:10,840 –> 00:02:13,560
President Bola to Nubu to keep to his words that

36
00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:17,360
this hang when Recouba attack will not repeat itself. It

37
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:20,319
does appear that those words are hollow because barely seventy

38
00:02:20,360 –> 00:02:24,039
two hours another attack in Beneway’s state claimed over a

39
00:02:24,080 –> 00:02:27,159
dozen lives. The Commander in Chief should brace up to

40
00:02:27,199 –> 00:02:31,840
the challenges of governance. President Bola Ahmed to Nubu through

41
00:02:31,879 –> 00:02:34,520
the Office of the Special Adviser to the President on

42
00:02:34,639 –> 00:02:38,719
Information and Strategy, BeO on Anuga, on April third, twenty

43
00:02:38,800 –> 00:02:42,800
twenty six, in a statement, said President Danubu’s itinery for

44
00:02:42,879 –> 00:02:48,120
Thursday included two main engagements, receiving the Chalian President Mahamat

45
00:02:48,159 –> 00:02:53,120
Idris Dabi Igno and proceeding to Riperu Ogan State. After

46
00:02:53,159 –> 00:02:57,520
Governor Caleb Matfung’s briefing, President Tanubu suspended the trip to

47
00:02:57,599 –> 00:03:02,000
Ogan overnight, the present Residential Villa made arrangements for the

48
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:07,280
visit to Jos, with presidential assets quickly deployed. However, the

49
00:03:07,319 –> 00:03:10,840
President could not postpone the scheduled visit by the Challion leader.

50
00:03:11,560 –> 00:03:14,439
The President of Chad was at the Presidential Villa for

51
00:03:14,479 –> 00:03:19,080
a very important bilateral meeting focused on strengthening security collaboration

52
00:03:19,280 –> 00:03:23,439
between the two countries. The meeting ran longer than expected,

53
00:03:23,800 –> 00:03:29,240
affecting President Tanoubu’s scheduled departure for Jos. Upon arrival in Jos,

54
00:03:29,560 –> 00:03:33,719
the visit encountered some logistical challenges. While the road distance

55
00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:37,319
from the airport to Joss township is approximately forty minutes,

56
00:03:37,719 –> 00:03:40,159
the runway does not support night flights due to the

57
00:03:40,199 –> 00:03:44,840
absence of navigational aids. The constraints made it unfeasible to

58
00:03:44,919 –> 00:03:48,240
drive into town, meet victims for on the spot assessment,

59
00:03:48,280 –> 00:03:52,840
and return to the airport before dusk. Consequently, state and

60
00:03:52,919 –> 00:03:56,960
federal officials decided to bring representatives of the affected community

61
00:03:57,039 –> 00:03:59,759
to a hall adjoining the airports so the President could

62
00:04:00,479 –> 00:04:04,479
meet with them promptly while adhering to flight restrictions. Among

63
00:04:04,560 –> 00:04:07,000
the people in the hall were the Minister of Defense,

64
00:04:07,439 –> 00:04:10,080
the Chief of Army Staff, and the Inspector General of

65
00:04:10,120 –> 00:04:14,000
Police who had visited Racooba, the epicenter of the conflict.

66
00:04:14,759 –> 00:04:18,720
President Tanubu deployed the high level team to Recouver, including

67
00:04:18,759 –> 00:04:23,240
the Senior Special Assistant on Community Engagement, to undertake critical

68
00:04:23,279 –> 00:04:26,879
groundwork on security and community engagement with a view to

69
00:04:26,920 –> 00:04:31,839
stabilizing the area before his arrival. Beyond expressing his condolences

70
00:04:31,839 –> 00:04:35,519
to the victims, President to Anubu’s objective was to engage

71
00:04:35,560 –> 00:04:39,079
with critical stakeholders in Plateau’s state on ending the recurring

72
00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:42,720
decades old conflict that has resulted in needless loss of

73
00:04:42,759 –> 00:04:46,839
life and property. President Tanubu’s visit to Jos was not

74
00:04:47,000 –> 00:04:51,199
merely symbolic. It was a strategic, high level engagement aimed

75
00:04:51,199 –> 00:04:54,480
at bringing all stakeholders together to address the root causes

76
00:04:54,480 –> 00:04:58,480
of conflict and insecurity in the state. He interacted with

77
00:04:58,560 –> 00:05:02,800
the victims, consol them and listened to them. He also

78
00:05:02,879 –> 00:05:05,560
listened to local leaders and assured them that the federal

79
00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:08,839
government would deliver justice and end the cycle of violence.

80
00:05:09,639 –> 00:05:13,160
He promised the deployment of five thousand I enabled cameras

81
00:05:13,199 –> 00:05:16,600
to monitor the city and enhance the identification and arrest

82
00:05:16,639 –> 00:05:21,600
of troublemakers. Furthermore, the President invited the community leaders to

83
00:05:21,639 –> 00:05:25,040
Abouja for further talks on finding a lasting solution to

84
00:05:25,079 –> 00:05:29,519
the recurring violence in the state. The meeting televised life

85
00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:35,399
was solomon reassuring boosting residence confidence. President Tanubu achieved the

86
00:05:35,439 –> 00:05:39,279
purpose of his visit despite the naysayer’s attempts to ridicule it.

87
00:05:39,959 –> 00:05:44,000
He dropped an unmistakable message sustainable peace must be built

88
00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:48,519
with the people, not imposed on them. Reacting, Peter Obi

89
00:05:48,639 –> 00:05:52,920
said during the twenty twenty three campaign, President Tanubu made

90
00:05:52,959 –> 00:05:56,160
a clear electoral promise. If I don’t give you constant

91
00:05:56,160 –> 00:05:59,759
electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second.

92
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:04,560
When he took office in twenty twenty three, Nigeria had

93
00:06:04,600 –> 00:06:09,399
a power supply of over four thousand megawats and lower tariffs. Today,

94
00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:13,519
the electricity power supply is less than four thousand megawats

95
00:06:13,519 –> 00:06:18,079
on the average and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria

96
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:22,319
currently has the lowest bikapita electricity consumption in the world,

97
00:06:22,399 –> 00:06:25,920
with a rate below thirty percent of the African average.

98
00:06:26,040 –> 00:06:31,040
Africa’s average is six hundred and seventeen k wh, Nigeria’s

99
00:06:31,079 –> 00:06:35,160
is one hundred and forty four kilowatt hours. This means

100
00:06:35,160 –> 00:06:39,480
that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans. In a

101
00:06:39,519 –> 00:06:43,000
glaring display of disregard for promises and the lack of trust,

102
00:06:43,399 –> 00:06:47,439
President Danubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving

103
00:06:47,519 –> 00:06:50,920
families of the Joss attack on Thursday, April second, twenty

104
00:06:51,040 –> 00:06:53,839
twenty six, stated that one of the reasons for his

105
00:06:53,959 –> 00:06:57,160
ten minute stay was that the airport had no electricity.

106
00:06:57,879 –> 00:07:00,800
You have no light here, eye fly out in ten minutes.

107
00:07:01,120 –> 00:07:04,279
At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power,

108
00:07:04,600 –> 00:07:07,639
our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it.

109
00:07:08,399 –> 00:07:12,079
Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders, those lacking

110
00:07:12,079 –> 00:07:16,000
the capacity and compassion, who prioritize their own comfort over

111
00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:18,639
the well being of the people and make empty promises.

112
00:07:19,439 –> 00:07:22,959
During his visit to Benaway State in June twenty twenty five,

113
00:07:23,399 –> 00:07:26,519
Bola Ahmed Tanubu stopped at the government house but did

114
00:07:26,560 –> 00:07:30,000
not go to the actual scene where innocent Nigerians lost

115
00:07:30,040 –> 00:07:35,199
their lives. Similarly, yesterday in Jos, his engagement ended at

116
00:07:35,199 –> 00:07:39,319
the airport instead of at the affected communities. What happened

117
00:07:39,319 –> 00:07:43,439
in Platau yesterday highlights a complete absence of leadership. True

118
00:07:43,519 –> 00:07:48,360
leadership requires presents, empathy, compassion, and a willingness to meet

119
00:07:48,399 –> 00:07:52,120
people where their pain truly lies. For citizens who have

120
00:07:52,399 –> 00:07:55,959
just lost loved ones, homes and their sense of safety,

121
00:07:56,279 –> 00:08:00,480
being addressed from an airport tarmac is profoundly inadequate. This

122
00:08:00,560 –> 00:08:04,560
approach exacerbates the sense of abandonment already felt by innocent

123
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:08,839
Nigerians who have endured repeated cycles of violence without meaningful

124
00:08:09,600 –> 00:08:14,160
protection or justice. Platau deserves more than distant words. It

125
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:17,199
requires urgent action and a clear commitment to ending the

126
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:21,959
insecurity that continues to claim innocent lives. In such moments,

127
00:08:22,279 –> 00:08:26,279
leadership must not only be visible, but also tangible, standing

128
00:08:26,319 –> 00:08:30,120
with victims, listening to survivors, and acknowledging the depth of

129
00:08:30,120 –> 00:08:34,039
the grief. If we truly desire a better Nigeria, we

130
00:08:34,159 –> 00:08:38,320
must demand leadership that is present, responsive and responsible at

131
00:08:38,360 –> 00:08:42,519
all times. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy

132
00:08:42,559 –> 00:08:45,759
by those who once claim to have sacrificed to defend it,

133
00:08:46,200 –> 00:08:49,000
but are now doing everything possible to undermine it in

134
00:08:49,039 –> 00:08:52,840
silence opposition. History will not be kind to those who

135
00:08:52,960 –> 00:08:55,919
traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power.

136
00:08:56,639 –> 00:08:59,840
We will not remain silent, We will not be intimidated,

137
00:09:00,159 –> 00:09:02,440
and we will not surrender the future of this nation.

138
00:09:03,279 –> 00:09:07,039
The will of the people must prevail, stronger, louder, and

139
00:09:07,159 –> 00:09:12,279
impossible to suppress. Hatiku Abubakar said, I wish to remind

140
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:15,559
President Bola to Nubu Takip to his words that this

141
00:09:15,919 –> 00:09:20,080
Anguin Rekouba attack will not repeat itself. It does appear

142
00:09:20,120 –> 00:09:23,360
that those words are hollow because barely seventy two hours

143
00:09:23,720 –> 00:09:27,360
another attack in Benewey’s state claimed over a dozen lives.

144
00:09:27,759 –> 00:09:30,559
The Commander in chief should brace up to the challenges

145
00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:34,879
of governance. I am also concerned, like all well meaning

146
00:09:34,960 –> 00:09:38,200
Nigerians about what is going on in a Nasarawa community

147
00:09:38,240 –> 00:09:41,200
where families had fled on foot amid threats of attack,

148
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:44,320
and as if those are not enough, there was a

149
00:09:44,360 –> 00:09:47,519
fresh attack in Kaduna State at the week end. The

150
00:09:47,600 –> 00:09:51,240
primary responsibility of government is the protection of life and

151
00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:55,320
property in the promotion of the welfare of citizens. Enough

152
00:09:55,360 –> 00:09:59,360
of these hollow rhetoric, mister President, it is time to

153
00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:03,360
fold your sleeves and get to work. Meanwhile, my thoughts

154
00:10:03,360 –> 00:10:05,679
and prayers are with the families who may have lost

155
00:10:05,679 –> 00:10:09,240
a deer ion in these attacks. I am outraged by

156
00:10:09,279 –> 00:10:13,919
the barbaric attack in Garry Yaway Community anguin recouver Jos,

157
00:10:14,240 –> 00:10:17,320
which claimed the lives of scores of innocent Nigerians and

158
00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:21,120
left many others injured. That this heinous assault occurred on

159
00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:25,159
Sunday night, March twenty nine, twenty twenty six is yet

160
00:10:25,159 –> 00:10:28,639
another damning indictment of the near total collapse of security

161
00:10:28,679 –> 00:10:32,000
in our country. What we are witnessing is not merely

162
00:10:32,039 –> 00:10:35,799
a security lapse, but a tragic descent into lawlessness, where

163
00:10:35,879 –> 00:10:40,399
human lives are treated as expendable. Despite endless pronouncements and

164
00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:45,240
so called marching orders, insecurity remains the grim daily reality

165
00:10:45,279 –> 00:10:48,159
of ordinary Nigerians who continue to bear the brunt of

166
00:10:48,159 –> 00:10:51,639
a failing system. It is long past the time for

167
00:10:51,720 –> 00:10:55,480
outrage without action. The anger across the land must now

168
00:10:55,519 –> 00:10:59,919
compel urgent, decisive political will to confront and crush this menace.

169
00:11:00,759 –> 00:11:04,080
The continued sort are of innocent citizens cannot become our

170
00:11:04,159 –> 00:11:07,279
new normal. My thoughts and prayers are with the families

171
00:11:07,320 –> 00:11:09,759
and loved ones of the victims in this dark and

172
00:11:09,799 –> 00:11:10,639
painful moment.

173
00:11:11,639 –> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Please visit it. You have no

174
00:11:17,200 –> 00:11:25,879

00:11:26,679 –> 00:11:27,759

shackle of volence, shackle of ignorance, chackle of poverty, chackle

191
00:13:32,159 –> 00:13:45,080
of hopelessness. We must break it together. I thanked the

00:13:45,240 –> 00:13:49,840
men and women of the armed forces, particularly the police,

193
