[00:06:43] by the authority of this great
[00:06:46] congregation, I senator
[00:06:50] George Akumen do
[00:06:52] now propose this very, very
[00:06:56] important and historic
[00:07:00] motion
[00:07:02] that the
[00:07:05] people the north central state
[00:07:09] zone meeting this great.
[00:07:12] congregation have
[00:07:15] resolved, they have here resolved the
[00:07:19] calm 2027, our soul
[00:07:23] candidate for that election
[00:07:27] is his
[00:07:30] excellency to
[00:07:32] bola
[00:07:34] ahmed,
[00:07:39] still talking politics, the leadership the nid democratic. Congress NDC is
[00:07:43] cautioning the party support groups against actions that could
[00:07:47] undermine the role the national working committee and affect the unity the
[00:07:50] NDC ahead the general elections next year.
[00:07:54] National chairman the NDC Senator Cliopass Zooge made the call a news
[00:07:58] conference in Abuja warning support groups to focus on
[00:08:02] mobilizing voters for the party and stop engaging in
[00:08:05] activities such as the inauguration of campaign councils as such
[00:08:09] responsibility rests on the shoulders the parties leadership.
[00:08:13] he also urged supporters to get ready to protect their votes in 2027,
[00:08:16] insisting that the party has all it takes to win the elections and
[00:08:20] by are we not supposed to be
[00:08:24] proud that we have a presidential candidate that has movement that is
[00:08:27] obedient that will galvanize support for
[00:08:30] him,
[00:08:34] would you be happy that we have kanso our
[00:08:37] leader and backing him,
[00:08:41] are there no human beings that are backing him? I don't have voters that are backing him,
[00:08:45] so we that are party managers, why won't we be
[00:08:47] happy,
[00:08:51] but the point that must be established is that they must
[00:08:55] know that they are not the managers the
[00:08:57] party,
[00:09:01] and we cannot submit our
[00:09:04] assignment to
[00:09:06] them, as their name
[00:09:09] implies, "they are
[00:09:13] support groups mobilizing support for the
[00:09:17] party and its candidates to win elections, is it not the
[00:09:21] responsibility of support group to from presidential campaign council?
[00:09:25] if you are drawing up campaign councils,
[00:09:29] you work tandem with the party structures,
[00:09:33] we have very great political battle that we
[00:09:36] are convinced that all of us being together we shall
[00:09:40] win we..." are convinced
[00:09:43] that if it is the votes to win 2027 general
[00:09:47] elections we have them, so it is vote
[00:09:50] protection, it is
[00:09:54] vote protection,
[00:09:57] legitimately, and the vote
[00:10:01] protection starts from awareness that must be created into
[00:10:05] our
[00:10:05] voters,
[00:10:10] the campaigns in plateau are heating up, but then the African Democratic
[00:10:13] Congress in the state is challenging the Josh Metropolitan development
[00:10:17] board over what it describes as selective enforcement of regulations on
[00:10:21] political posters. The party says it was fined over campaignment.
[00:10:25] displayed in restricted areas while posters bearing the images of
[00:10:28] governor and president remain visible in the
[00:10:32] same areas. the ADC is demanding the review the sanction and equal
[00:10:36] application of executive order 003 to all
[00:10:40] political parties. it also says the state should give greater priority to
[00:10:44] addressing insecurity across plateau.
[00:10:47] democratic congress plat to state chapter strongly
[00:10:51] condems any attempt to use government institution.
[00:10:55] to intimidate opposition parties or undermine
[00:10:59] democratic competition in our state, we are
[00:11:03] particularly concerned about the
[00:11:05] reported, the reported fine issued
[00:11:09] against our party and our candidates by the just
[00:11:12] metropolitan development board,
[00:11:15] jmdb, our
[00:11:19] over and allate violation
[00:11:21] of executive order (03)
[00:11:25] introduced by the plateau state government, let our position be
[00:11:29] clear, the ADC will not be intimidated,
[00:11:33] silenced or battered by political
[00:11:36] pressure, administrative sanctions or the
[00:11:40] misuse of public institutions, we are a law
[00:11:43] abiding party that respects legitimate
[00:11:47] regulations. however, respect for the
[00:11:51] law must never be take mistaken for weakness and
[00:11:55] and our commitment to peace must never be
[00:11:58] interpreted as surrounding our democratic
[00:12:01] rights. meanwile the
[00:12:05] plateau state government has has defended its enforcement over the
[00:12:09] executive order 003 on political posters,
[00:12:13] insisting that no party is being singled out. the general manager
[00:12:17] the plateau metropolitan development agency, hart bankat says both the
[00:12:20] ruling APC and the ADC have been fined for
[00:12:23] violations. He also warns that campaign and party offices found
[00:12:27] breach in the directive will be sealed within seven days,
[00:12:31] regardless of political affiliation.
[00:12:33] The response follows the ADC's allegation of selective enforcement
[00:12:37] and is demand for review the disputed
[00:12:39] fine.
[00:12:44] To the court now where the court of appeal Abuja has appealed the judgement the federal high court

[00:15:05] only send hope to
[00:15:09] the long abandoned people of our federal
[00:15:12] constituency, because our ticket, our
[00:15:15] aspiration is an aspiration that elevates

[00:20:30] just produce what they want, there's
[00:20:34] no, there's no parameter, there's no... requirement is no

[00:22:22] agriculture and agri food systems is part the resolution
[00:22:26] of 2026 compala agenda with emphasis on areas
[00:22:29] of coordination, policy alignment, monitoring and
[00:22:33] accountability that connect institutions for better food
[00:22:37] security. for a country of nigeria scale, the choices we make
[00:22:40] agriculture have consequences beyond our
[00:22:43] bordings. for regional markets, africa's wider
[00:22:47] agrifood transformation and nigerous in the global
[00:22:51] food economy, we are taking the next step
[00:22:55] from understanding implementation and from

[00:23:35] inter African agricultural trade and reducing post
[00:23:39] harvest losses. These are ambitious
[00:23:42] targets, but they are target that reflect the urgency
[00:23:46] the moment. The real question, however is not.
[00:23:50] whether Africa can produce another declaration, we have
[00:23:53] produced many declarations before, the real question is whether
[00:23:57] we can transform this declaration into the results that
[00:24:01] ordinary people can see and feel. The
[00:24:05] meeting provides avenue for questions and answers especially
