[00:24:13] Is it not concerning that
[00:24:17] for our neighbors when they... discovered
[00:24:20] oil and they were looking for
[00:24:23] avenue to take the oil to the
[00:24:27] international community, they avoided
[00:24:30] Nigeria, charge that is right here
[00:24:34] top of us, they decided to take their
[00:24:37] pipeline through
[00:24:39] Cameroon, NJ, top
[00:24:43] of us, decided to take their own pipeline
[00:24:46] through Republic of Biene, they avoided.
[00:24:50] Nigeria, but meanwile the caduna
[00:24:53] refinery was commissioned in
[00:24:56] 1980, it was supposed
[00:24:59] to take heavy crude to blend
[00:25:03] with our own crude, heavy crude from Venezuela, so we had
[00:25:07] pipeline from Lagos up to Kaduna
[00:25:11] if they are looking for a cheaper
[00:25:14] option, they would have utilized that
[00:25:18] pipeline, make a shorter. pipeline to kaduna, but they
[00:25:21] all know that if their oil come into
[00:25:25] Nigeria, it will
[00:25:27] disappear. my promise to
[00:25:30] you in the northeast and to
[00:25:34] the people of Nigeria is
[00:25:38] that we will be
[00:25:42] sincere in finding
[00:25:44] solutions to the challenges that we're faced
[00:25:48] with. We will
[00:25:50] ensure that we
[00:25:54] tell you the exact truth, we will listen to
[00:25:58] you, solutions can come from
[00:26:01] anywhere. and I want
[00:26:05] to say to you
[00:26:06] that
[00:26:09] 2027 will be the hand of politics
[00:26:13] of lies and deceat. It
[00:26:17] is a time where we will all together through the
[00:26:21] reset agenda
[00:26:25] tell Nigerians the home
[00:26:28] truth.
