"I will not support anybody, [00:05:44] I say my party, but if people are preaching, if people are [00:05:47] preaching the support for your party under the tag of rainbow [00:05:51] coalition, and as a party you don't have a problem to convince people to [00:05:55] support your party across board, it then means and the position the governors [00:05:59] at that, excuse me sir, is the fact that they [00:06:03] think that your party is a risk, if you have [00:06:07] senators who are not members of your party, you have house of reps members who are not [00:06:11] your party, your..." president if he wins the election is going to [00:06:14] be a man alone in governance because [00:06:18] everyone that is around him are from other political party and that's the [00:06:21] position the governor who are saying the interest the party [00:06:25] should be the party should be why as a [00:06:28] party we're not supposing we're not supporting any [00:06:31] candidate and the governors who are members of our party [00:06:35] we encourage them not you just said that you you have endorsed rainbow [00:06:39] coalition no listen [00:06:42] uh uh said we, he is a different political [00:06:45] party, i cannot make a choice of who he will [00:06:48] select or he will vote for in the general election, so [00:06:52] you are not opposed to what wik is doing, i'm not opposed to anybody who wants [00:06:55] to put president, how do you reconcile the governors and the weak case [00:06:59] stance, [00:06:59] and that's i keep on telling you, the governor's position, they are [00:07:02] promoting that their own party in their state, they will [00:07:06] support only APC, your excellency, can you tell [00:07:10] us what pathway? does your candidate have in [00:07:14] this election? there those who say that in the [00:07:17] reality, there's no way on earth that your [00:07:21] candidate can win this election, and they have given reasons. the president [00:07:25] has said on October 1 that here comes the era [00:07:29] of prosperity, and there are those who will say, you've made Nigerians go [00:07:33] through pains for the last three and a half years, why should they trust [00:07:36] you? in the last three years, what have we been doing first [00:07:40] when we came? the [00:07:43] PSCN, the generating companies were [00:07:47] being out billions of n, today [00:07:51] we to offset all those trillions of nail that they were owing [00:07:54] the generating companies, we're owing the [00:07:58] pensioners from railway to air to [00:08:02] to to to to Nigerian airways to several other government [00:08:06] agencies into trillions of n, today we [00:08:10] offset all those bills. from this thing when [00:08:14] president came, most airlines have withdrawn, [00:08:17] international airlines have withdrawn from Nigeria, so most Nigerans even who want [00:08:21] travel by Brish airways, they have to go to Ghana before they [00:08:24] travel, today he has offset all those bills [00:08:28] for them, most companies that invested in Nigeria, they [00:08:32] couldn't rec the money because Nigeria couldn't get enough dollars to offset their [00:08:36] bill for them, of what over 7 billion US dollars, [00:08:40] today we've paid all those bills and I can go on and on [00:08:43] and on and on and tell you what we have reset in Nigeria, so I'm wondering, [00:08:47] because the language of is the one who said that he wants to reset [00:08:51] Nigeria, because Makin believes that under this government and the [00:08:55] APC, you literally destroy the the wellbeing and [00:08:59] the power of every any citizen to be able to uh make ends [00:09:03] meet, the question I'm asking you prof is that what do you [00:09:07] tell when you go to the campaign, the people that have been going to [00:09:11] pains for the last them? but [00:09:15] and have you listened [00:09:16] tell a to half what years, i but said? what yeah, do you you said the president has done this, the president has done that, excuse me, the [00:09:20] fundamental is the money in their pocket and the food and the quality of food on their table, [00:09:24] good, and that's the same reason we given you giving [00:09:27] nigerians, the what we are passing through for [00:09:31] example at this moment is temporal, [00:09:35] the increase in cost of - foil is [00:09:38] temporal, how do [00:09:40] you say that to the hungry man, of course? you're coming tomorrow there [00:09:43] will be food, but she believe you, Nigerians believe in us, [00:09:47] unlike you who is less on TV, I'm a journalist, I'm just asking the [00:09:51] question, that's i'm asking you the same thing, now for somebody who [00:09:54] knew [00:09:55] who who also know that there's a fight in the the [00:09:59] war between uh Iran and US has [00:10:03] completely cut off the major about 30% the source of - [00:10:06] across the world and Nigerians believe in us, they believe st we have taken [00:10:10] also we've capped [00:10:12] the cause of... well the the the [00:10:13] the the price of uh the [00:10:17] price of petroleum per liter that's what article said it was going to do so you're [00:10:21] coping [00:10:24] no and ours is not actually bringing a subsidy, he said he [00:10:27] he subs, we are not bringing back subsidy, we said that the cost [00:10:31] has been defray now, when as a cost the the [00:10:35] the the price of crude goes down in [00:10:37] the national market, that part can be defray by the [00:10:41] same market as as the cost you comes [00:10:44] down, so there are two different, you are given one month of petrol [00:10:48] discount, yeah at 66 n yeah, what does that amount [00:10:52] to? [00:10:53] now now you say what what? [00:10:55] why that amount does it mean with 66 n does it mean [00:10:58] anything because those who believe that why are you doing [00:11:02] it now you just want votes bring [00:11:04] that's up this [00:11:05] is global is global even even in us they are given [00:11:08] tax on petrol products because of you are doing it for one [00:11:12] month after one month and the same people should go back to their pays no we [00:11:16] have to look at the you know normally these are temporary issues so you have to [00:11:20] study the the uh international community what directions [00:11:23] are because this can end tomorrow, it can even end [00:11:26] today, the same article so that he will sell the [00:11:30] refineries, ab, he [00:11:34] say we sell the refineries, he will removed subsidy that he [00:11:38] will not leave for one day, he specifically said that we study the market forces [00:11:42] and keep on adjusting the price until we return [00:11:46] back until we remove subsidy, so who is [00:11:49] deceiving, these people don't actually have message, which means that [00:11:53] he also want to remove subsidy. a way, but he wants to learn [00:11:57] Nigerians to vote him by saying that you will reduce [00:12:00] prices, [00:12:02] you don't think nigeran should listen to, of course, article has said that you you [00:12:06] have your party shamelessly copied his own [00:12:10] policy, which policy policy price [00:12:14] modulation of price, his [00:12:17] wasn't, give a moment, we need to go [00:12:19] on a break, but when we return this time around, it's going to be a [00:12:23] question of what? will be saying [00:12:27] to voters, what exactly would you like to [00:12:31] hear him say? how does it convince you? if you [00:12:34] are there and you are able to vote, whatever you may be watching. my next question [00:12:38] to professor, is pathway, is [00:12:42] asking about the pathway the APC in this [00:12:45] election? well be right back everyone, tell us [00:12:47] again.

[00:20:37] but - [00:20:39] she who are the majority of nigerians [00:20:40] the talking about if the voters we've done also a sentiment [00:20:44] analysis, we've done also our own research, we've done also a fact [00:20:47] finding, why [00:20:49] are leading? [00:21:21] don't you think that can be skilled [00:21:22] easily? it is based on that [00:21:26] research that we even conduct that best no research and all th spolings that we [00:21:30] had our own retreat, we look at our lapses and [00:21:34] work on it, we closing up every day, even even though we're [00:21:38] leading but we say we [00:21:39] need to improve, so every [00:21:41] day, my problem [00:21:44] with the opposition is that they only do [00:21:46] shows, they only come on tv gather people. and [00:21:50] just say the demonstrating and then you do your rallies and you [00:21:54] mention now they don't even have rallies they just gather about 10 people 20 [00:21:58] people to to just come out and wear some t-shirts where have you seen them [00:22:02] even do majority anywhere in [00:22:04] Nigeria [00:22:06] if if if the opposition are able to come together and form an [00:22:09] alliance is that not the end of your party never we [00:22:12] are not afraid at all you don't even want them to come together I don't even [00:22:15] blink because you have done your homework [00:22:18] in you decimate the opposition, look, [00:22:22] how, but that's our job, that's our job, that's my job [00:22:26] to scatter them, of course now, and you vertering [00:22:30] them, very happy, they scattered, if i [00:22:33] work, for democracy, now [00:22:37] if i work hard, if you as sherun, would you [00:22:41] like one day that almost all the viewers of television are viewing [00:22:45] their own channels because of our credibility, good, the same thing credibility, the same [00:22:48] thing we're doing here. credibility that is making you to sc the same doing, [00:22:52] the same we're doing, is that okay?

They also act like natural [00:30:44] seawalls, absorbing up to 97% [00:30:48] of wave energy and helping protect coastal [00:30:51] communities from currents, waves and [00:30:54] storms. But these ecosystems are approaching [00:30:57] a dangerous threshhold.
