00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Former Nigeria President good Luck of Valet Jonathan has reacted

2
00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:08,279
to the declaration of state of emergency partial military rule

3
00:00:08,320 –> 00:00:10,800
in Rivers State and the suspension of the Governor of

4
00:00:10,839 –> 00:00:14,400
the state, Simina Laiphabara and the State House of Assembly

5
00:00:14,480 –> 00:00:19,239
lawmakers by President Bola Hmed Tanubu, who Jonathan accused of

6
00:00:19,280 –> 00:00:23,199
abuse of office, power and privileges with the former president,

7
00:00:23,280 –> 00:00:26,679
saying that the Presidency led by Bolah Hmed Tanubu, the

8
00:00:26,760 –> 00:00:30,920
National Assembly NAS led by both Honorable Tajudee Abbess the

9
00:00:31,000 –> 00:00:36,359
Speaker House of Representatives, Senator Godswill Accabo, the Senate President,

10
00:00:36,439 –> 00:00:40,159
and the National Judicial Council NJC led by the Chief

11
00:00:40,359 –> 00:00:44,320
Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kadeerrat Kakere eckn know the right

12
00:00:44,439 –> 00:00:46,960
thing to do, but they refuse to it, citing in

13
00:00:47,039 –> 00:00:50,640
Indian proverbs that says, when a person is really sleeping,

14
00:00:51,000 –> 00:00:53,399
it is easy to wake up such a person, but

15
00:00:54,039 –> 00:00:56,880
when a person is pretending to be sleeping, it is

16
00:00:57,039 –> 00:00:59,960
very difficult to wake up such a person, and thereafter

17
00:01:00,359 –> 00:01:04,079
categorically stated that the three arms of government in Nigeria

18
00:01:04,159 –> 00:01:07,400
are pretending to be sleeping, with emphasis that no business

19
00:01:07,439 –> 00:01:10,040
investor brings his or her money to invest in a

20
00:01:10,079 –> 00:01:13,560
country where the executive dictates for judges what the judgment

21
00:01:13,599 –> 00:01:17,480
should be. The former President good Luck of La Jonathan,

22
00:01:17,519 –> 00:01:20,480
who once as the President of Nigeria, declared a state

23
00:01:20,519 –> 00:01:24,439
of emergency in some northern states without suspending civil rule

24
00:01:24,560 –> 00:01:27,079
or allowing the military to take over the governance of

25
00:01:27,120 –> 00:01:30,120
the states, stated this while speaking as the chairman that

26
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:34,959
the hask Saturmari Foundation Colloquium in Abouja on Saturday. These

27
00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:38,599
actions by key actors in the executive and legislative arms

28
00:01:38,640 –> 00:01:42,359
of government paint the country in a negative light, Jonathan said.

29
00:01:43,120 –> 00:01:45,879
Jonathan said although it is not the norm for former

30
00:01:45,920 –> 00:01:48,760
presidents to comment on issues in the polity so as

31
00:01:48,760 –> 00:01:51,519
not to heat up the polity, he insisted that the

32
00:01:51,519 –> 00:01:54,359
image of the country and how much investments a country

33
00:01:54,359 –> 00:01:57,799
attracts is heavily dependent on the actions of the executive,

34
00:01:58,239 –> 00:02:02,560
legislature and judiciary of the sun. According to him, his

35
00:02:02,680 –> 00:02:06,599
comment was necessitated by persistent calls from many Nigerians to

36
00:02:06,640 –> 00:02:09,199
speak on the events in Rivers State. As a prominent

37
00:02:09,319 –> 00:02:13,240
son of the Niger Delta, the former Nigerian leader said,

38
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,879
we’re talking about building a society where no one is oppressed,

39
00:02:17,199 –> 00:02:20,199
as reflected in the top paragraph of our national Anthem.

40
00:02:21,000 –> 00:02:24,120
As a former president and also from the Niger Delta,

41
00:02:24,439 –> 00:02:27,199
when the issue of suspending the governor came out, I

42
00:02:27,240 –> 00:02:31,080
think people called on me, President Jonathan, you should say something.

43
00:02:31,840 –> 00:02:35,360
What is happening in Nigeria today. Regarding the situation in

44
00:02:35,479 –> 00:02:38,199
Rivers States. Is like an Indian proverb that said that

45
00:02:38,240 –> 00:02:41,919
if somebody is sleeping, really sleeping, you can easily wake

46
00:02:42,039 –> 00:02:45,800
up that person, but if that person is pretending to sleep,

47
00:02:46,159 –> 00:02:49,280
you find it difficult to wake up that person. The

48
00:02:49,360 –> 00:02:53,439
key actors in Nigeria, from executives to the legislature and

49
00:02:53,520 –> 00:02:56,599
the judiciary, they know the correct thing to do, but

50
00:02:56,639 –> 00:03:00,000
they are refusing to do it. They are pretending to sleep.

51
00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:04,039
Waking such a person is extremely difficult, but the person

52
00:03:04,120 –> 00:03:08,120
knows the right thing. The clear abuse of offices, clear

53
00:03:08,199 –> 00:03:12,280
abuse of power, clear abuse of privileges, cutting across from

54
00:03:12,280 –> 00:03:15,199
the three arms of government, from the executive to the

55
00:03:15,240 –> 00:03:18,840
Parliament to the judiciary. And I always plead with our

56
00:03:18,879 –> 00:03:22,919
people that whatever we do affects everybody. No business man

57
00:03:22,960 –> 00:03:25,479
can bring his money to invest in a country where

58
00:03:25,479 –> 00:03:29,439
the judiciary is compromised, where a government functionary can dictate

59
00:03:29,479 –> 00:03:33,120
to judges what judgment they will give. No man brings

60
00:03:33,159 –> 00:03:35,800
his money to invest in that economy because we are

61
00:03:35,840 –> 00:03:39,919
taking a big risk. So whatever we do affects everybody.

62
00:03:40,240 –> 00:03:42,360
And if we want to build a nation where our

63
00:03:42,439 –> 00:03:45,919
children and our grandchildren, no matter how painful it is,

64
00:03:46,240 –> 00:03:49,240
we must strive to do what is right. It may

65
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:52,680
cost us, but we must endeavor and pay the price

66
00:03:52,719 –> 00:03:55,599
to insist on doing what is right. Whether you are

67
00:03:55,599 –> 00:04:00,000
holding an executive office as a president, a minister, governor,

68
00:04:00,159 –> 00:04:04,319
or special adviser executive, whether you are holding an office

69
00:04:04,319 –> 00:04:07,199
in the Parliament, Senate, or rep whether you are a

70
00:04:07,319 –> 00:04:11,319
judicial officer in high courts or appellate courts, we must

71
00:04:11,319 –> 00:04:14,199
strive to do what is right if we want to

72
00:04:14,240 –> 00:04:16,800
build a nation that our children will be proud of.

73
00:04:17,560 –> 00:04:20,800
As we engage in these discussions, let us remember that

74
00:04:20,879 –> 00:04:24,040
promoting social change is not a one time event, but

75
00:04:24,120 –> 00:04:29,199
a continuous process. It requires a sustained commitment, collective action,

76
00:04:29,600 –> 00:04:33,199
and unwavering dedication to the values that promote good governance.

77
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:37,480
Former Nigeria President good Luck of let Jonathan’s words end

78
00:04:37,560 –> 00:04:41,319
in quotes. We have reported that the Rivers States partial

79
00:04:41,360 –> 00:04:45,480
military ruler a retired Vice Admiral and former Nigeria Chief

80
00:04:45,519 –> 00:04:49,759
of Naval Staff, ihibok eit Equaivas on Thursday evening made

81
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:54,360
his maiden statewide broadcast calling on any trouble makers, apparently

82
00:04:54,399 –> 00:04:57,519
speaking directly to the militants who have been linked to

83
00:04:57,560 –> 00:05:01,399
the destruction and bombing of crude oil pipelines in the state,

84
00:05:01,839 –> 00:05:04,759
to desist from such an act henceforth, because his government

85
00:05:04,839 –> 00:05:08,639
is appointed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu as a sole

86
00:05:08,759 –> 00:05:12,560
administrator in Rivers State and approved by both the House

87
00:05:12,639 –> 00:05:16,480
of Representatives and the Senate of the National Assembly on Thursday,

88
00:05:16,879 –> 00:05:19,800
has no patient to act against any action that threatened

89
00:05:19,800 –> 00:05:23,399
the peace, social and economic stability of the oil rich

90
00:05:23,560 –> 00:05:29,120
Rivers State. This former presidential spokesperson on new media, Basher Ahman,

91
00:05:29,199 –> 00:05:32,079
revealed that it was under the leadership of former President

92
00:05:32,199 –> 00:05:36,319
Mohammadu Buhari in twenty eighteen that the National Assembly repealed

93
00:05:36,319 –> 00:05:38,800
and enacted a new law that gave the President the

94
00:05:38,879 –> 00:05:42,360
powers to suspend an elected sitting governor and lawmakers in

95
00:05:42,439 –> 00:05:46,360
the state House of Assembly. But by Nigeria legal system,

96
00:05:46,519 –> 00:05:50,319
the acts enacted by the National Assembly automatically becomes neud

97
00:05:50,399 –> 00:05:53,199
and void when the acts or laws enacted by the

98
00:05:53,279 –> 00:05:57,439
National Assembly contradicted or violated any session of the Nigeria

99
00:05:57,519 –> 00:06:01,839
nineteen ninety nine Constitution. As a mend, we have reported

100
00:06:01,839 –> 00:06:04,560
that the Nigeria lawmakers in the Lower Chamber of the

101
00:06:04,600 –> 00:06:08,560
House of Representatives have approved the proclamation and declaration of

102
00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:11,920
a state of emergency in Rivers State along with the

103
00:06:11,959 –> 00:06:16,680
six month suspension of Governor Seminalae Favara, his deputy, Missus

104
00:06:16,839 –> 00:06:20,519
Inghoziodu and all elected members of the Assembly as announced

105
00:06:20,519 –> 00:06:24,519
by President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu on Tuesday night. We have

106
00:06:24,680 –> 00:06:28,920
reported that President Bolah Hmed Tanubu aid near Some Weiki,

107
00:06:28,959 –> 00:06:32,560
who is the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT

108
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:35,399
and the immediate past governor of Rivers State that is

109
00:06:35,480 –> 00:06:38,279
widely believed to be the apparent root cause of the

110
00:06:38,279 –> 00:06:42,360
political crisis in the state, who shortly after the swearing

111
00:06:42,439 –> 00:06:46,000
in of Governor Seminalae Favara, Weikhi helped to the seat

112
00:06:46,000 –> 00:06:50,000
of power, was accused by the sitting Governor, Seminalai Favara

113
00:06:50,160 –> 00:06:52,839
of trying to use the State House of Assembly to

114
00:06:52,879 –> 00:06:57,439
frustrate and impeach him from office simply because he Fabara

115
00:06:57,560 –> 00:07:01,040
refused to accept certain terms and conditions they both had

116
00:07:01,079 –> 00:07:04,879
in private, which till now both refused to tell the

117
00:07:04,920 –> 00:07:09,319
public the apparent personal political misunderstandings that made the governor

118
00:07:09,439 –> 00:07:12,560
Forabara to resort to self defense by thus applying some

119
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:15,639
measures within his powers as the governor to frustrate and

120
00:07:15,720 –> 00:07:19,639
stop his impeachment from the probably instigated Rivers State House

121
00:07:19,680 –> 00:07:23,360
of Assembly lawmakers, whose majority of them up to twenty

122
00:07:23,399 –> 00:07:27,480
seven members are seemly loyal to the FCT minister, who

123
00:07:27,879 –> 00:07:31,399
week a few days ago was the person that announced

124
00:07:31,439 –> 00:07:35,399
through the media to the general public the deffanage or son. Similarly,

125
00:07:35,439 –> 00:07:39,480
Favara is impeached, nothing would happened, a statement he made

126
00:07:39,759 –> 00:07:43,040
suggesting he may have conspired with the lawmakers to impeach

127
00:07:43,120 –> 00:07:46,680
the governor because by his statements during the press conference,

128
00:07:47,079 –> 00:07:51,199
he was probably already doing damage control even when the

129
00:07:51,240 –> 00:07:55,439
House of Assembly has not served the governor an impeachment notice,

130
00:07:55,639 –> 00:07:59,160
but in the face of the foregoing facts, The Nigeria

131
00:07:59,240 –> 00:08:02,199
Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation,

132
00:08:02,680 –> 00:08:05,720
Latif Fagbemi, at a press briefing a few hours ago

133
00:08:05,839 –> 00:08:09,959
at the State House in Abuja, exonerated the FCT Minister

134
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:14,000
and said categorically that the FCT Minister has no hand

135
00:08:14,120 –> 00:08:17,199
in the political crisis that has engulfed the oil rich

136
00:08:17,319 –> 00:08:21,240
Rivers State, leading to militant’s bombing crude oil pipelines to

137
00:08:21,279 –> 00:08:24,920
destroy nigeria economy, probably as a way of protesting against

138
00:08:25,000 –> 00:08:29,279
the federal government seemly one sided style of handling misunderstandings

139
00:08:29,279 –> 00:08:33,120
in the state. We had reported the two female lawmakers,

140
00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:40,200
Marie Ebakhake PDP, Bielsa State and Blessing Amadi PDP Rivers State,

141
00:08:40,279 –> 00:08:43,679
on Wednesday engaged in a heated argument, almost leading to

142
00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:46,480
a fight at the National Assembly ahead of the plenary

143
00:08:46,559 –> 00:08:50,840
session scheduled by the National Assembly leadership to discuss, approve

144
00:08:50,960 –> 00:08:54,200
or reject the proclamation of state of emergency declared on

145
00:08:54,320 –> 00:08:58,360
Tuesday night by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu over the apparent

146
00:08:58,480 –> 00:09:03,799
personal political crisis between the state Governor, Siminlaefabara and Tanubu’s

147
00:09:03,799 –> 00:09:08,080
aid Near Smike, the FCT Minister and the immediate past

148
00:09:08,120 –> 00:09:11,480
governor of the South South State. We have reported that

149
00:09:11,519 –> 00:09:16,000
the former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar and former

150
00:09:16,080 –> 00:09:19,720
governor of Annambra State Peter Obi, both of whom were

151
00:09:19,759 –> 00:09:23,799
co contestants as presidential candidates in the last presidential election

152
00:09:23,960 –> 00:09:27,240
in Nigeria, have reacted to the state of emergency and

153
00:09:27,279 –> 00:09:32,360
suspension of elected government in Rivers State by President Bolahmed Tanubu,

154
00:09:32,440 –> 00:09:36,279
with Atiku accusing and describing President Bolahamed Tanubu as a

155
00:09:36,360 –> 00:09:40,279
vested partisan actor in the political turmoil engulfing Rivers State.

156
00:09:41,039 –> 00:09:45,080
We have reported that the Nigeria President, Bola Ahmed Tanubu,

157
00:09:45,159 –> 00:09:49,039
in a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday evening, for the first

158
00:09:49,039 –> 00:09:51,240
time more than a decade in the history of the

159
00:09:51,240 –> 00:09:55,279
West Africa country, declared a state of emergency in Rivers

160
00:09:55,320 –> 00:09:59,879
State and suspended for initial six months. The Governor, Siminalaifabara

and his deputy, missus Ingoziodu all elected members of the

162
00:10:04,240 –> 00:10:08,279
State House of Assembly and appointed retired Vice Admiral Ibokhi

163
00:10:08,360 –> 00:10:11,480
Tebers as administrator to work with the existing laws of

164
00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:14,919
Rivers State with the members of the state judiciary. Following

165
00:10:14,960 –> 00:10:19,039
the apparent personal political crisis between the Rivers State Governor,

166
00:10:19,440 –> 00:10:22,399
similar A Fabara and his former boss and the immediate

167
00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:26,080
past governor of the state, near Simuiki, who is currently

168
00:10:26,120 –> 00:10:29,759
the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT that was

169
00:10:29,799 –> 00:10:32,919
seen a few days ago in a viral video apparently

170
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:37,240
making kalis statements as a government official, statements capable of

171
00:10:37,320 –> 00:10:41,120
instigating a particular ethnic group against the government. Wherein the

172
00:10:41,240 –> 00:10:45,679
FCT minister has said thus that Injore people a minority

173
00:10:45,720 –> 00:10:48,799
group in the South South and if their son Fabara

174
00:10:48,960 –> 00:10:53,519
is impeached, nothing would happened. After the statements, Weikhi refused

175
00:10:53,519 –> 00:10:58,080
to apologize to the Injore people despite public outcry and condemnations.

176
00:10:58,559 –> 00:11:02,480
Days after, as confirmed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu, some

177
00:11:02,600 –> 00:11:06,360
militants started destroying crude royal pipelines in Rivers State, as

178
00:11:06,399 –> 00:11:10,279
media reports trends and indicated that pro week lawmakers may

179
00:11:10,360 –> 00:11:14,039
have concluded plans to impeach governors. Similarly, for Bara.

180
00:11:15,759 –> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 2: What is happening in the country. Everybody talks about Rivers

181
00:11:18,399 –> 00:11:23,720
did on television and some of these had issues. We discourse.

182
00:11:24,200 –> 00:11:27,759
We are talking about the society. We have no one

183
00:11:28,240 –> 00:11:30,919
a press. As reflected in the top paragraphic for a

184
00:11:31,000 –> 00:11:34,879
national content. As a former president and also from the

185
00:11:34,960 –> 00:11:38,639
United data one, the issue of suspending the governor came up.

186
00:11:39,600 –> 00:11:41,919
I think people call on me or president not and

187
00:11:41,960 –> 00:11:45,679
who president, but to see something well expected or to

188
00:11:45,720 –> 00:11:49,879
see something about what is happening, and of course people

189
00:11:49,919 –> 00:11:54,039
don’t even know that. Traditionally nobody world for our presidence

190
00:11:54,120 –> 00:11:58,279
hadly mixed itments about what the current presidents are doing

191
00:11:58,399 –> 00:12:01,080
because of the tension it could it in the country.

192
00:12:01,360 –> 00:12:04,200
Most cases, look at America, look at a laware so

193
00:12:04,320 –> 00:12:09,399
hardly for former presence to make. Sometimes you see and

194
00:12:09,279 –> 00:12:12,799
and of course what is happening in Nigeria today regarding

195
00:12:12,840 –> 00:12:16,159
the situation in River States is like an Indian proverb

196
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:20,559
that said that if somebody is sleeping, really sleeping, you

197
00:12:20,600 –> 00:12:23,720
can easily wake up that person. But the person is

198
00:12:23,759 –> 00:12:27,440
pretending to sleep, you find it difficult to wake up

199
00:12:27,440 –> 00:12:37,320
that person. The key actors in Nigeria, from executive to

200
00:12:37,399 –> 00:12:40,279
the legislature locally and a winter and others are here

201
00:12:40,879 –> 00:12:45,240
and the judiciary did not be correcting to do but

202
00:12:45,320 –> 00:12:47,600
they are refusing to do it. They’re pretending to sleep,

203
00:12:49,279 –> 00:12:52,759
and waking the person is extremely difficult because the person

204
00:12:52,960 –> 00:13:01,039
knows the right. A clear abuse of clear abuse of power,

205
00:13:02,279 –> 00:13:06,480
clear abuse of privileges, cutting across from the trade arms

206
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:10,039
of government, from the executive to the parliament, to the judiciary,

207
00:13:11,039 –> 00:13:15,480
and a lot plead with her people that whatever we

208
00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:20,720
do affects everybody. And sometimes we do things and we

209
00:13:20,840 –> 00:13:25,320
think that it doesn’t affect us. We have been the

210
00:13:25,360 –> 00:13:28,759
president before and even after leaving office. If I’m a president,

211
00:13:28,799 –> 00:13:32,799
will get to me. Why is that our passport it’s

212
00:13:32,840 –> 00:13:38,639
not valued that moll? Why is that Naggens are not

213
00:13:38,840 –> 00:13:41,120
giving the kind of treatment we’re supposed to receive in

214
00:13:43,679 –> 00:13:46,759
Sometimes we think it’s because of your boys of nine,

215
00:13:47,440 –> 00:13:50,360
not only them, Yes they’re part of the problem. But

216
00:13:50,519 –> 00:13:54,480
whatever happens in the country, decisions that are taken by

217
00:13:54,519 –> 00:13:57,720
the executive arm of government, decisions that are taken by

218
00:13:57,759 –> 00:14:04,279
the parliament, judiciary is affects everybody. For example, no business

219
00:14:04,360 –> 00:14:06,720
man can bring his money to invest in the country

220
00:14:07,159 –> 00:14:13,919
where the judiciary compromised, where government functionary can dictate to

221
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:17,759
George’s what judgment they will give, no man brings his

222
00:14:17,840 –> 00:14:21,480
money to invest because we’re taking a big risk. So

223
00:14:21,559 –> 00:14:27,200
whatever we do affects everybody. And if we bill a

224
00:14:27,320 –> 00:14:31,840
nation were children and our grandchildren, no matter how painful

225
00:14:31,879 –> 00:14:37,320
it is, we must try to do what writ it

226
00:14:37,360 –> 00:14:42,000
may because us, but we must and divorce and pay

227
00:14:42,080 –> 00:14:48,399
the price to insist on doing what is right. Whether

228
00:14:48,440 –> 00:14:51,919
you’re holding an executive office as a president, a minister,

229
00:14:52,080 –> 00:14:56,799
or a governor or special advisor executive, whether you’re holding

230
00:14:56,840 –> 00:15:01,240
an office in the Parliament, Senate, up whether you’re a

231
00:15:01,320 –> 00:15:05,399
judicial officer at the High Courts or appellate courts. We

232
00:15:05,600 –> 00:15:08,799
must strive to do what is right if we want

233
00:15:08,840 –> 00:15:14,279
to deal in nation that our children would be proud of.

234
00:15:15,840 –> 00:15:19,600
Lady bringing you, bring me in the mortgages, aware
