1
00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tenubu aid Nissum Wiki, who is the

2
00:00:04,240 –> 00:00:08,240
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT in the immediate

3
00:00:08,279 –> 00:00:11,279
past governor of Rivers State, that is widely believed to

4
00:00:11,320 –> 00:00:14,400
be the apparent root cause of the political crisis in

5
00:00:14,480 –> 00:00:18,000
the state, who shortly after the swearing in of Governor

6
00:00:18,079 –> 00:00:21,800
Seminalae Fabara y K helped the seat of power, was

7
00:00:21,839 –> 00:00:25,559
accused by the city Governor Siminalae Fabara of trying to

8
00:00:25,679 –> 00:00:28,559
use the State House of Assembly to frustrate and impeach

9
00:00:28,679 –> 00:00:33,159
him from office simply because he Fabara refused to accept

10
00:00:33,200 –> 00:00:36,840
certain terms and conditions they both had in private, which

11
00:00:37,320 –> 00:00:40,359
till now both refused to tell the public the apparent

12
00:00:40,439 –> 00:00:45,000
personal political misunderstandings that made the governor Forabara to resort

13
00:00:45,039 –> 00:00:48,119
to self defense by thus applying some measures within his

14
00:00:48,280 –> 00:00:51,600
powers as the governor to frustrate and stop his impeachment

15
00:00:51,719 –> 00:00:55,880
from the probably instigated Rivers State House of Assembly lawmakers,

16
00:00:55,920 –> 00:00:59,119
whose majority of them up to twenty seven members as

17
00:00:59,119 –> 00:01:03,359
seemly loyal to the FCT minister, who y K a

18
00:01:03,359 –> 00:01:06,239
few days ago was the person that announced through the

19
00:01:06,319 –> 00:01:09,640
media to the general public the Ifanige or son siminol

20
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:13,959
Aifhebara is impeached, nothing would happened, a statement he made

21
00:01:14,319 –> 00:01:17,560
suggesting he may have conspired with the lawmakers to impeach

22
00:01:17,640 –> 00:01:21,120
the governor because by his statements during the press conference,

23
00:01:21,400 –> 00:01:24,879
he was probably already doing damage control, even when the

24
00:01:24,920 –> 00:01:29,000
House of Assembly has not served the governor an impeachment notice.

25
00:01:29,159 –> 00:01:32,519
But in the face of the foregoing facts, the Nigeria

26
00:01:32,599 –> 00:01:35,560
Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of the Federation,

27
00:01:36,040 –> 00:01:38,959
Letif Fagbemi, at a press briefing a few hours ago

28
00:01:39,120 –> 00:01:43,159
at the State House in Abuja, exonerated the FCT Minister

29
00:01:43,319 –> 00:01:47,079
and said categorically that the FCT Minister has no hand

30
00:01:47,239 –> 00:01:50,239
in the political crisis that has engulfed the oil rich

31
00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:54,239
Rivers State, leading to militant’s bombing crude oil pipelines to

32
00:01:54,280 –> 00:01:58,000
destroy Nigeria economy, probably as a way of protesting against

33
00:01:58,079 –> 00:02:02,439
the federal government seemly one sided style of handling misunderstandings

34
00:02:02,439 –> 00:02:06,439
in the state. Detailed statements of the Minister of Justice

35
00:02:06,439 –> 00:02:09,639
and the Attorney General of the Federation, as transcribed and

36
00:02:09,719 –> 00:02:14,479
reported by Channel’s Television are presented verbatim below. At a

37
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:18,719
media chat with State House correspondent in Abuja. The AGF

38
00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,560
said President Bola Tanubu acted timely with his proclamation of

39
00:02:22,599 –> 00:02:26,319
emergency rule in Rivers State, the suspension of the governor

40
00:02:26,479 –> 00:02:31,400
and the appointment of a sole administration, Vice Admiral Ibokhnitibas retired.

41
00:02:32,199 –> 00:02:35,479
Fag Bemi said Fabara demolished the State House of Assembly

42
00:02:35,560 –> 00:02:38,759
complex to avoid being impeached and refused to rebuild it

43
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:42,719
more than one year later. The Justice Minister said Forbara

44
00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:46,360
failed to implement the February twenty eighth, twenty twenty five

45
00:02:46,479 –> 00:02:49,520
ruling of the Supreme Court and did not caution militants

46
00:02:49,560 –> 00:02:53,080
who had threatened to blow pipelines in the state. There

47
00:02:53,159 –> 00:02:56,120
was not a word dissuading the militant who issued the threats,

48
00:02:56,439 –> 00:02:59,680
he said. He said the situation could be allowed to

49
00:02:59,680 –> 00:03:02,840
content you as the critical economic lifeline of the nation

50
00:03:03,120 –> 00:03:07,360
was criminally touched. Fag Bemi also said the emergency rule

51
00:03:07,439 –> 00:03:10,719
declaration was some sort of saving grace for Fabara, who

52
00:03:10,759 –> 00:03:14,879
has been served impeachment notice. If that impeachment had been

53
00:03:14,919 –> 00:03:17,840
allowed to take its full course, the governor would have

54
00:03:18,039 –> 00:03:22,400
entirely lost them completely. So in a way, instead of

55
00:03:22,439 –> 00:03:25,319
allowing the impeachment to continue and which in the end

56
00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:28,039
would have seen both the governor and the Deputy Governor

57
00:03:28,080 –> 00:03:31,039
out of office for the entirety of their four year term,

58
00:03:31,120 –> 00:03:33,800
with the remainder of what they have a balance of

59
00:03:33,840 –> 00:03:38,080
two years and two months, the AGF said. Fag Bemi

60
00:03:38,120 –> 00:03:42,960
said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Niso Weike,

61
00:03:43,599 –> 00:03:46,080
did not feature in the matter that was decided by

62
00:03:46,120 –> 00:03:50,439
the Supreme Court and should not be sentimentally brought into it. Wyke,

63
00:03:50,879 –> 00:03:55,120
the immediate past governor of Rivers State, has been locked

64
00:03:55,120 –> 00:03:58,919
in a protracted power tussle with Fabara, his estranged former

65
00:03:58,960 –> 00:04:03,439
political godsen for about two years. The Apex Court had

66
00:04:03,520 –> 00:04:06,919
back the pro y K Assembly led by Martin’s Ammioulley.

67
00:04:07,639 –> 00:04:10,240
Fat Bemi said y K should not be brought into

68
00:04:10,280 –> 00:04:13,000
the matter as he was not responsible for the actions

69
00:04:13,000 –> 00:04:15,479
of Fabara, who failed to act in line with the

70
00:04:15,520 –> 00:04:19,639
constitutional requirements of getting the approval of the state legislators

71
00:04:19,639 –> 00:04:23,160
in the affairs of running the state. He said, there

72
00:04:23,160 –> 00:04:26,240
are occasions when it comes to national issues, we have

73
00:04:26,319 –> 00:04:29,519
to come out plainly and sincerely. Where do you put

74
00:04:29,560 –> 00:04:33,120
the Minister of the FCT in this case was he

75
00:04:33,199 –> 00:04:35,519
the one who asked for the demolition of the House

76
00:04:35,560 –> 00:04:38,639
of Assembly. Was he the one who said the Governor

77
00:04:38,639 –> 00:04:41,199
should not present the budget to the House of Assembly?

78
00:04:42,040 –> 00:04:44,240
Was he the one who advised the Governor not to

79
00:04:44,319 –> 00:04:47,360
go through the House of Assembly for purposes of ratifying

80
00:04:47,399 –> 00:04:50,959
the Commissioner nominees. I don’t know, because if you want

81
00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:53,279
to look at a case, you look at the facts

82
00:04:53,279 –> 00:04:57,959
that have been presented. The Supreme Court made these critical findings.

83
00:04:58,360 –> 00:05:02,639
The FCT Minister did not feature. Assuming he featured, he

84
00:05:02,680 –> 00:05:05,160
would have featured on the side of the legislators. But

85
00:05:05,240 –> 00:05:07,920
what you have here is let everybody go home for

86
00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:12,199
the first six months, so I don’t see his hands

87
00:05:12,199 –> 00:05:15,680
here in what we have. Fag Bemi advised all those

88
00:05:15,680 –> 00:05:18,319
who do not agree with the President’s moved to channel

89
00:05:18,360 –> 00:05:21,920
their energy to the National Assembly to veto the President’s decision.

90
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:27,399
We had reported the two female lawmakers, Marie Ebakhake PDP

91
00:05:28,040 –> 00:05:33,079
Bielsa State and Blessing Amadi PDP Rivers State, on Wednesday,

92
00:05:33,160 –> 00:05:36,160
engaged in a heated argument, almost leading to a fight,

93
00:05:36,199 –> 00:05:39,600
at the National Assembly ahead of the plenary session scheduled

94
00:05:39,639 –> 00:05:43,439
by the National Assembly leadership to discuss approve or reject

95
00:05:43,480 –> 00:05:47,199
the proclamation of state of emergency declared on Tuesday night

96
00:05:47,319 –> 00:05:51,680
by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu over the apparent personal political

97
00:05:51,720 –> 00:05:56,079
crisis between the state Governor, siminol Afhebara and Tanubu’s aid

98
00:05:56,439 –> 00:06:00,480
Nissam Yke, the FCT Minister and the immediate past governor

99
00:06:00,480 –> 00:06:03,560
of the South South State. We had reported that the

100
00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:07,959
former Vice President of Nigeria Atiku Abu Bakar and former

101
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:11,680
Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, both of whom were

102
00:06:11,680 –> 00:06:15,759
co contestants as presidential candidates in the last presidential election

103
00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:19,160
in Nigeria, have reacted to the state of emergency and

104
00:06:19,240 –> 00:06:23,120
suspension of elected government in Rivers State by President Bolah

105
00:06:23,160 –> 00:06:27,480
Ahmed Tanubu, with the TIKU accusing and describing President Bolahmed

106
00:06:27,519 –> 00:06:30,959
Tanubu as a vested partisan actor in the political turmoil

107
00:06:30,959 –> 00:06:35,279
in gulfing Rivers State. We had reported that the Nigeria President,

108
00:06:35,639 –> 00:06:39,959
Bola Ahmed Tanubu, in a nationwide broadcast on Tuesday evening,

109
00:06:40,360 –> 00:06:42,439
for the first time more than a decade in the

110
00:06:42,560 –> 00:06:45,759
history of the West Africa country, declared a state of

111
00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:49,560
emergency in Rivers State and suspended for initial six months.

112
00:06:49,800 –> 00:06:54,439
The Governor siminol Aiphabara and his deputy in Ghaziodu, all

113
00:06:54,519 –> 00:06:57,879
elected members of the State House of Assembly and appointed

114
00:06:57,920 –> 00:07:02,319
retired Vice Admiral Ibokhiti Administrator to work with the existing

115
00:07:02,439 –> 00:07:05,800
laws of Rivers State with the members of the state judiciary.

116
00:07:05,839 –> 00:07:09,959
Following the apparent personal political crisis between the Rivers State

117
00:07:10,040 –> 00:07:13,759
Governor Siminal Aphebara and his former boss and the immediate

118
00:07:13,839 –> 00:07:17,439
past governor of the state, Niso Wiki, who is currently

119
00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:21,079
the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, that was

120
00:07:21,120 –> 00:07:24,319
seen a few days ago in a viral video apparently

121
00:07:24,360 –> 00:07:28,600
making kalis statements as a government official, statements capable of

122
00:07:28,639 –> 00:07:32,519
instigating a particular ethnic group against the government wherein the

123
00:07:32,600 –> 00:07:37,120
FCT minister has said thus that Injore people a minority

124
00:07:37,160 –> 00:07:40,240
group in the South South and if their son Fabora

125
00:07:40,399 –> 00:07:44,800
is impeached, nothing would happened. After the statements, Wiki refused

126
00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:49,079
to apologize to the Ijore people despite public outcry and condemnations.

127
00:07:49,519 –> 00:07:54,319
Days after, as confirmed by President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu, some

128
00:07:54,519 –> 00:07:58,399
militants started destroying crude oil pipelines in Rivers State. As

129
00:07:58,480 –> 00:08:02,560
media reports trends indicated that pro Wik lawmakers may have

130
00:08:02,680 –> 00:08:05,879
concluded plans to impeach governors similarly from Bara.

131
00:08:07,040 –> 00:08:10,199
Speaker 2: The questions are more or less related. But let me

132
00:08:10,279 –> 00:08:12,480
start on a note of how we got to where

133
00:08:12,480 –> 00:08:13,199
we are today?

134
00:08:13,680 –> 00:08:14,639
Speaker 3: How did it all start?

135
00:08:15,120 –> 00:08:18,759
Speaker 2: That is about the genesis.

136
00:08:19,360 –> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: We all know how we got here.

137
00:08:22,959 –> 00:08:26,959
Speaker 2: Since two thousand and twenty three, I think towards the

138
00:08:27,000 –> 00:08:30,319
end of twenty and twenty three, things have not been

139
00:08:30,560 –> 00:08:35,120
going on well, to the extent that the governor took

140
00:08:35,120 –> 00:08:40,039
the low to his hands and demolished, brought down the

141
00:08:40,080 –> 00:08:43,320
House of Assembly. Don’t forget the rule of the House

142
00:08:43,360 –> 00:08:46,679
of Assembly. The lawmakers they are to consider budget there

143
00:08:46,679 –> 00:08:50,600
to you know, pass budget. They are also to be

144
00:08:50,759 –> 00:08:56,600
approached in matters of appointment of commissioners for ratification and

145
00:08:56,759 –> 00:09:00,320
all other things. They are to do oversight functions. So

146
00:09:00,399 –> 00:09:03,399
since that happened, things have not been the same at all.

147
00:09:03,919 –> 00:09:08,279
In a community of thirty two, you expect that at

148
00:09:08,360 –> 00:09:13,600
least fifteen or sixteen will be there to do the

149
00:09:13,720 –> 00:09:17,039
job the governor, like I said, and it is no

150
00:09:17,080 –> 00:09:23,720
longer news Harbor, three or four of the members constituted

151
00:09:23,759 –> 00:09:25,519
them to the House of Assent, to the House of

152
00:09:25,559 –> 00:09:29,159
Assembly and gave them professional treatment. Moved them to the

153
00:09:29,159 –> 00:09:35,240
Government House to be doing legislative performing legilative functions.

154
00:09:35,720 –> 00:09:39,919
Speaker 3: This situation got to the court.

155
00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: That were about ten fifteen, sixteen cases and at the

156
00:09:43,919 –> 00:09:47,240
end of the day the Supreme Court came out and

157
00:09:47,360 –> 00:09:56,320
made very profound findings of breaches of the Constitution, mainly

158
00:09:56,559 –> 00:10:01,960
against the governor. You see to fall, your rise or

159
00:10:02,039 –> 00:10:04,879
fall on the basis of what you took to court

160
00:10:05,159 –> 00:10:09,120
and what decision of the court is on it. The

161
00:10:09,159 –> 00:10:12,200
Court came to the decision that the governor had long

162
00:10:12,240 –> 00:10:21,600
anticipated that he might be impeached and because of that

163
00:10:21,759 –> 00:10:24,559
he knew that they had The House of Assembly was

164
00:10:24,600 –> 00:10:30,360
a critical structure. Yes, organ to do that brought down

165
00:10:30,879 –> 00:10:35,639
the House of Assembly fourteen months after that is yesterday,

166
00:10:35,720 –> 00:10:40,480
It was fourteen months. There was no effort to rebuild

167
00:10:40,879 –> 00:10:43,960
the House of Assembly. The government stands on the tripoid.

168
00:10:45,279 –> 00:10:52,080
The executive, the legislature and the judiciary made the functioning

169
00:10:52,279 –> 00:10:57,919
of government work impossible. It is not enough for the

170
00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:00,840
legislature for the executive to say where spend the money.

171
00:11:00,840 –> 00:11:03,440
Even the money you want to spend must have been

172
00:11:03,480 –> 00:11:08,120
appropriated for by the Heart of Assembly. These are some

173
00:11:08,159 –> 00:11:10,960
of the findings Auto made and at the end of

174
00:11:11,000 –> 00:11:13,879
the day, the Supreme Court said, or came to your

175
00:11:13,919 –> 00:11:20,440
decision at the behavior of the governor was like a despot,

176
00:11:21,039 –> 00:11:24,840
and that issue as the situation was there was.

177
00:11:24,759 –> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: No government in Revers.

178
00:11:27,000 –> 00:11:29,759
Speaker 2: If there was no government in Revers, what else are

179
00:11:29,759 –> 00:11:34,039
we looking for? I’m so sorry for bringing in this,

180
00:11:34,320 –> 00:11:39,399
uh this issue in the Bible, they asked Jesus Christ,

181
00:11:39,519 –> 00:11:41,759
I did the son of God and he said, yes,

182
00:11:41,879 –> 00:11:44,799
they’re not that chorused what for the evidence do we

183
00:11:44,879 –> 00:11:50,000
need from this man? So the stage is set, but

184
00:11:50,159 –> 00:11:53,759
no action was taken immediately in the expectation or hope

185
00:11:54,480 –> 00:11:59,799
that good sense who prevailed the governor would create an

186
00:11:59,879 –> 00:12:03,960
en enabling environment and that the House of Assembly too

187
00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:09,639
would be reasonable enough to ensure that the people of

188
00:12:09,919 –> 00:12:14,799
Rivers in the state actually got a return for their

189
00:12:14,879 –> 00:12:19,799
voting of both members of the House of Assembly and

190
00:12:19,840 –> 00:12:24,240
the governor, not elected officials to enjoy the dividends of democracy

191
00:12:24,879 –> 00:12:30,200
were in a democracy. So no, then there were what

192
00:12:30,279 –> 00:12:36,200
I will call telegraphing of the militants I would say

193
00:12:36,240 –> 00:12:38,399
by the governor. And the reason I said so was

194
00:12:38,519 –> 00:12:41,639
when he belcooned to them that all he will let

195
00:12:41,720 –> 00:12:43,320
them know when it was time.

196
00:12:43,519 –> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: To act to the militants. Let us say it was wrong.

197
00:12:48,519 –> 00:12:51,879
Did he come out to disown them? The answer is no.

198
00:12:53,399 –> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: And a week after they swung into action, you see

199
00:12:58,440 –> 00:13:05,080
a witness realization of oil pipelines. Don’t also forget that

200
00:13:05,200 –> 00:13:10,240
before now, that is when this government came into office,

201
00:13:11,159 –> 00:13:15,320
Nigeria was producing about nine hundred thousand liters of oil

202
00:13:15,960 –> 00:13:20,399
that would bring a day. With the efforts and all

203
00:13:20,559 –> 00:13:28,799
the indianity that the President had, he ensured that the

204
00:13:28,879 –> 00:13:36,639
production rose to about one thousand, one point five barrier

205
00:13:36,639 –> 00:13:43,480
per day, that’s about forty five of something increased. Governors

206
00:13:43,600 –> 00:13:47,120
were smiling home at the end of the month with

207
00:13:47,279 –> 00:13:49,720
about sixty percent increasing their.

208
00:13:49,960 –> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 3: Take home to their various governors.

209
00:13:52,360 –> 00:13:56,759
Speaker 2: Then somebody rose or encouraged or became inactive when he

210
00:13:56,840 –> 00:14:01,240
was supposed to act. There was not a war dissuading

211
00:14:01,919 –> 00:14:08,200
the threats the militants who ensured the threat. In today’s Nigeria,

212
00:14:08,480 –> 00:14:12,559
maybe with the efforts of the mister President, a Greek

213
00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:18,519
will come in. But today we still rely largely on

214
00:14:18,720 –> 00:14:22,399
oil for anyone touch.

215
00:14:23,399 –> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: These uh this bipelies.

216
00:14:32,639 –> 00:14:35,279
Speaker 2: It’s not only the enemy of rivers, is the enemy

217
00:14:35,440 –> 00:14:42,120
of Nigeria. All Nigerians, all the articistates share in what

218
00:14:42,320 –> 00:14:46,399
comes in from together with the production of this oil.

219
00:14:47,279 –> 00:14:52,679
And I believe that the decision of mister President is

220
00:14:52,759 –> 00:14:59,559
anchored on the decision of the court Supreme Court alert.

221
00:15:00,519 –> 00:15:06,440
The second one is the inability of those involved, both

222
00:15:06,440 –> 00:15:12,080
the House of Assembly and the governor from being able to,

223
00:15:12,679 –> 00:15:18,279
you know, create an enabling environment for the people of

224
00:15:18,440 –> 00:15:23,279
Rivers to enjoy the dividends of democracy. Then the thought

225
00:15:23,399 –> 00:15:29,320
the theories is about the.

226
00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: The security situation in darkly.

227
00:15:31,679 –> 00:15:36,159
Speaker 2: You know, if he had waited, maybe a day longer,

228
00:15:36,399 –> 00:15:40,840
only god knows what followed. And as a result of

229
00:15:40,879 –> 00:15:45,000
that he came out to say I am not only

230
00:15:45,080 –> 00:15:48,559
the adult state and commander in chief of the armed

231
00:15:48,679 –> 00:15:52,080
forces declared state of emergency.

232
00:15:52,759 –> 00:15:54,639
Speaker 3: The first question is history decision.

233
00:15:55,639 –> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: When should he when I will ask her advitorically, who

234
00:16:00,159 –> 00:16:04,960
do you think should have come when everything has collapsed? No,

235
00:16:05,879 –> 00:16:10,080
the lawyer visages that you come in when there is

236
00:16:10,679 –> 00:16:19,200
present imminent danger together with the security of lives and property.

237
00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:22,399
Pole who are killing themselves. It’s no longer news. It’s

238
00:16:22,399 –> 00:16:24,799
not a question of making up the story. We all

239
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:28,399
read papers every day. Those who live there are living

240
00:16:28,399 –> 00:16:33,559
in fears so there certainly the need to come in

241
00:16:34,159 –> 00:16:38,480
well about two years into the administration in the state.

242
00:16:39,360 –> 00:16:41,559
If he didn’t come in, now, when do you think

243
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:44,679
he should come in? Is it when everything has been destroyed?

244
00:16:45,799 –> 00:16:51,000
I don’t think so. I think the present has acted activities.

245
00:16:52,440 –> 00:16:55,960
He has given opportunity to all the people involved, the

246
00:16:56,000 –> 00:17:00,519
parties involved, to make amends. Before then that’s umble them

247
00:17:01,320 –> 00:17:06,480
he had tried to mediate. Some said he had no

248
00:17:06,519 –> 00:17:10,039
construction power after agree and what they agreed to are

249
00:17:10,119 –> 00:17:17,160
the meeting stability we’re not implemented. So to answer a

250
00:17:17,279 –> 00:17:21,640
question that I don’t think that the present, but let

251
00:17:21,720 –> 00:17:23,559
me say it’s not a question if I don’t think,

252
00:17:23,680 –> 00:17:28,240
I am certain that the present has acted timeously after

253
00:17:28,319 –> 00:17:33,000
giving them enough rope, and as the commander in chief

254
00:17:33,039 –> 00:17:37,880
of the emphasis meaningful a tough decision for him to public.

255
00:17:38,680 –> 00:17:44,440
He doesn’t present anybody with joy to distruct the flow

256
00:17:44,640 –> 00:17:48,240
of democracy or practice of it. But the Constitution itself

257
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:53,920
envisages that there may be this type of situation, and

258
00:17:53,960 –> 00:17:57,400
that is why it is provided in section three or

259
00:17:57,400 –> 00:18:02,240
five of the Constitution that extra ordinary stitutions might arise.

260
00:18:02,759 –> 00:18:07,279
Speaker 3: This is one of such ordinary stitutions. The second one is.

261
00:18:07,240 –> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 2: About oh, the moving the governor, the moving the deputy governor.

262
00:18:11,160 –> 00:18:14,039
You see, you decide each case on its own peculiar

263
00:18:14,160 –> 00:18:18,079
facts and circumstances. Who are the people involved? Who are

264
00:18:18,079 –> 00:18:22,599
the parties involved in this saga? They are the governor,

265
00:18:22,960 –> 00:18:25,519
members of the House of Assembly, instates.

266
00:18:26,480 –> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: So who else should have been affected?

267
00:18:29,440 –> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: I’ve had this funny argument. I’m sorry for saying it’s funny,

268
00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:35,240
because it doesn’t make any sense to me that the

269
00:18:35,799 –> 00:18:39,559
president should have just gone there to secure the pipelines

270
00:18:39,640 –> 00:18:44,480
and then come back when some people are there encouraging

271
00:18:44,599 –> 00:18:51,400
vandals to come. In these circumstances, the action of the

272
00:18:51,480 –> 00:18:57,519
president is like, you know, the what happened is the

273
00:18:57,640 –> 00:19:01,400
fact of a fundamental course, and you cannot be treating

274
00:19:01,440 –> 00:19:04,519
the course the effect in order to cure the course.

275
00:19:04,799 –> 00:19:05,559
Speaker 3: What was the cause?

276
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: The governor and members of the House of Assembly. So

277
00:19:11,039 –> 00:19:18,000
you don’t try to You have to behave responsibly. You

278
00:19:18,160 –> 00:19:22,880
must have the gods. If it happens again, I would

279
00:19:22,920 –> 00:19:26,240
encourage mister President to do the same, maybe this time

280
00:19:26,319 –> 00:19:29,680
with even greater bigal and vitality.

281
00:19:29,759 –> 00:19:30,759
Speaker 3: So the question of.

282
00:19:32,519 –> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: Separating or treating or giving preferential treatment to anybody does

283
00:19:36,519 –> 00:19:40,359
not arise you give preferential treatment to anybody, you are

284
00:19:40,400 –> 00:19:44,880
giving proferential treatment to releganism.

285
00:19:45,359 –> 00:19:46,599
Speaker 3: Just call it spaid spaid.

286
00:19:47,160 –> 00:19:50,759
Speaker 2: This is where I believe that if you put up

287
00:19:51,279 –> 00:19:56,400
our patriotism CAUP, it shouldn’t be about individual It should

288
00:19:56,400 –> 00:19:59,920
not be about anybody. It should be about the entity

289
00:20:00,240 –> 00:20:04,599
called Nigeria. But in this case, reverse it, reverse it.

290
00:20:05,400 –> 00:20:09,559
So it’s reverseeastime today. It can be any body’s turn tomorrow.

291
00:20:10,240 –> 00:20:13,119
Let the signal be clearly signed for those who want

292
00:20:13,160 –> 00:20:16,960
to who want to make the practice of democracy an

293
00:20:17,079 –> 00:20:23,000
enjoyment of dividend of democracy the mirage twice. So I

294
00:20:23,079 –> 00:20:26,799
answered the question by saying I returned to sounding no

295
00:20:27,799 –> 00:20:33,720
to the question that the governor and deputy should have

296
00:20:35,519 –> 00:20:38,640
or the members of the House of Assembly, there were

297
00:20:38,759 –> 00:20:43,480
all in it. Then the other one is about compromise

298
00:20:43,680 –> 00:20:48,079
and replacement. It appears, so don’t forget. I think yesterday

299
00:20:48,119 –> 00:20:51,319
there was a notice of impeachment from the House of Assembly.

300
00:20:51,920 –> 00:20:57,119
If that impeachment had been allowed to take its full course,

301
00:20:58,039 –> 00:21:02,640
then the governor would have law entirely and completely. So

302
00:21:02,680 –> 00:21:04,799
in a way, if you say it’s a compromise, I

303
00:21:04,880 –> 00:21:11,759
will agree that instead of allowing the allowing the impeachment

304
00:21:12,559 –> 00:21:17,599
process to continue, and which in the end would have

305
00:21:17,720 –> 00:21:21,279
seen both the governor and the w governor out of office.

306
00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:26,000
I mean out for the entirety of the four year term.

307
00:21:26,599 –> 00:21:31,839
The remainder of what we have one month, one year,

308
00:21:32,079 –> 00:21:34,759
I think about nine months time have.

309
00:21:36,759 –> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 3: Living? Is it a balanced two years? Bring the three?

310
00:21:43,559 –> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: Thank you in the
