[00:00:00] is
[00:00:00] of neutral, doesn't want to be seen to be guiding any
[00:00:04] sit from performing his work, because what
[00:00:07] of the president has done has not actually stopped the EFCC
[00:00:10] from performing their job
[00:00:12] of after the election, like I said, that
[00:00:14] of account will still be
[00:00:15] of under scrutiny, under scrutiny, that account will still be under scrutinyy
[00:00:19] after the election, maybe what EFCC has done, they have been politically
[00:00:23] right is to wait until after the
[00:00:27] election and begin to now. investigation or
[00:00:31] of investigate or ask those people that
[00:00:33] have made that withdraw if it is not the governor that has given because the governor has
[00:00:36] immunity okay you cannot question what the government has done but for
[00:00:40] those people committed the infraction other actors that other actors that committed the
[00:00:44] infraction they have answer to give a
[00:00:47] later a later date all
[00:01:13] my pattern short is that is to
[00:01:16] commend the president for the action that he has
[00:01:20] taken, because I, I can
[00:01:24] understand how the president
[00:01:27] a felt all over the social media. they been
[00:01:30] attacking
[00:01:32] the president and
[00:01:33] a accusing him of trying to rig an
[00:01:37] election, where in my view he has
[00:01:40] shown complete
[00:01:43] even-handedness, i have not seen anything that this president
[00:01:47] has
[00:01:48] of done that suggest that he wants to rig the election for his
[00:01:52] party, it's not getting involved,
[00:01:56] of of okay, it's not getting involved, he knows that the governor... is
[00:02:00] of someone who is bent on supporting him in
[00:02:04] of the presidential election, so he knows that he has to handle that
[00:02:07] situation like an old man
[00:02:11] who has
[00:02:13] of wisdom, so he he's been behaving
[00:02:16] of like somebody who is not really interested in
[00:02:20] the outcome, if his party wins he will be happy that his party has
[00:02:24] of won, but i have not seen any action taken by
[00:02:28] of this president that suggest..." that he wants to rick the
[00:02:32] of of election in favor
[00:02:33] of of his party, lot of people have been saying that, oh, he wants to reak the
[00:02:37] election, but lot of people say stupid things about this
[00:02:41] president, it doesn't mean that they have evidence,
[00:02:44] we've challenge people in the past, to say okay,
[00:02:47] you said this, you said that, some people calling themselves senior
[00:02:52] in lawyers, of but they
[00:02:52] of are never able even defend
[00:02:55] of some
[00:02:55] of the nonsense that they do, so this president has not shown
[00:02:59] any... sign that he wants to r the election in favor
[00:03:03] of his party, no, I've not seen that sign,
[00:03:06] he is behaving like, well, all
[00:03:09] of of these people involved are my people, and he has tremendous
[00:03:12] support in Nor state,
[00:03:16] we have the support
[00:03:17] of the governor, so he
[00:03:19] of knows that this is a situation that he has to
[00:03:21] handle, like is delicate situation that has
[00:03:25] to handle very
[00:03:30] of in well, you know, so now... people are happy because he has taken this decision, he
[00:03:34] of has literally washed his hands clean because of this singular
[00:03:38] decision that he has taken, so they will
[00:03:42] go to the election and whoever wins will
[00:03:46] of will have won because the people um wanted you to
[00:03:50] win, so i want to see the
[00:03:53] election free and fair
[00:03:57] um free of vote buying, but i know that...
[00:04:00] of wishful thinking, there will be so much vote buying, they
[00:04:04] could even set a record in terms of vote buying
[00:04:07] of in ashun this time around, because the the gladiators
[00:04:11] have deep pockets and they are desperate to
[00:04:14] win, so I know that if I'm asking that I should
[00:04:18] be no vote buying, I'm wasting my time and wasting my breath, so there
[00:04:22] will be vote buying, okay, but the the outcome must
[00:04:26] reflect
[00:04:27] of the aspiration, the wish. or the people
[00:04:31] and
[00:04:32] uh we want the violence to stop, because on both sides they are
[00:04:36] killing one another, it is not the violence is not limited to one
[00:04:40] side, only
[00:04:41] a dishonest person will say the violence is limited to one side, so we
[00:04:45] want the violence to stop, let our people really go
[00:04:48] and take part in that election, exercise their franchise and whoever is
[00:04:52] defeated will have been defeated because he
[00:04:55] of deserved to be defeated, defeated, this is what we want to see,
[00:04:59] okay
[00:05:10] in spite
[00:05:10] of of whatever? any the parties have stuck
[00:05:14] somewhere, they should not uh
[00:05:17] affect the conduct the election, they should not
[00:05:21] undermine the process of election, because when they undermine the processes the
[00:05:24] election, it will affect the integrity the result the
[00:05:28] election, let them sheet their sword and reduce their
[00:05:32] tendency to corrupt foters, i won't say foot buying,
[00:05:35] but each side has the tendency to want to corrupt puters
[00:05:39] to their side, but i think this is also a place where the... also should
[00:05:43] be that's what we are sayingc2 has lot of
[00:05:47] job to do, they should observe keenly and after the
[00:05:51] election let them come out with whatever they have like i said the other time it does
[00:05:55] not mean that the FCC will not scrutinize that
[00:05:58] account has been frozen even though if they dif
[00:06:02] tomorrow thursday which means other parties have 48 hours
[00:06:05] within 48 hours lot of things can happen like we said the other time
[00:06:10] lot of transfer money has been transferred. from one account to the
[00:06:13] other, it is also sequal to the election, yes, if you are
[00:06:17] transferring huge money,
[00:06:18] it is part of a strategy to induce voters,
[00:06:22] okay,
[00:06:27] now hope grows stronger it time captives regain their
[00:06:30] freedom, reinforcing this, the northern senators forum has
[00:06:34] praised the rescue of work kidnap victims in
[00:06:38] kara state, describing it as major
[00:06:41] victory, criminality, the forum said the
[00:06:44] operation highlights the effectiveness of intelligence led
[00:06:48] security efforts and strong community collaboration
[00:06:51] tackling insecurity. meanbko,
[00:06:55] congratulations are in order, yes, but how significant
[00:06:59] is this rescue operation the kidnapped victims in the fight against
[00:07:03] insecurity in our
[00:07:04] country? yes,
[00:07:08] is very significant, the...
[00:07:13] now the attack on the war community
[00:07:16] went was extremely
[00:07:18] brutal, so many lives,
[00:07:22] lives were lost in dozens
[00:07:25] and in spite of that they still
[00:07:29] took um people away,
[00:07:32] children, um, women, because they killed
[00:07:36] a lot the men, it was a brutal
[00:07:40] gun attack on the... sleepy
[00:07:42] community, now since they they took them
[00:07:46] away, they had been bosting that they are going to
[00:07:50] marry the beautiful ones amongst them and
[00:07:54] kill the rest, you know,
[00:07:57] so many people have been really worried that when
[00:08:00] are we going to find closure to this matter,
[00:08:04] and I'm happy that another
[00:08:08] intelligence led operation involving the...
[00:08:12] the police and civil defense and a handful
[00:08:16] of
[00:08:18] vigilantes gave us this
[00:08:21] breakthrough buse given the number of people in
[00:08:24] captivity this
[00:08:27] was one one
[00:08:31] abduction that we needed to find closure to so
[00:08:34] 176 women and children largely the men had been
[00:08:38] killed and now what we need to do
[00:08:41] is to make it difficult for this mass abductions
[00:08:45] to take place, okay, anymore, we have to make
[00:08:49] it difficult, we have to secure the
[00:08:53] ungoverned forest that we have, we have to do our
[00:08:57] best, do lot of surveillance
[00:09:01] and reconnaissance missions across
[00:09:05] those dense forests so that these people will not
[00:09:09] find habitation, you can see that in, some
[00:09:13] the states where you do not have this kind of forest,
[00:09:16] this kind of mass abductions are not happening, because where
[00:09:20] are we going to keep them, where are they going to keep them? if you
[00:09:24] have d 270 people in lagos, where do you want to keep
[00:09:28] them? which forests are you going? you go
[00:09:31] even if you go e, where are you going to find
[00:09:35] the forest where you can keep them? we've
[00:09:38] left our forests unattended for too long.
[00:09:42] so these guys are literally taken over those for the kinji
[00:09:46] lake national park for example we've abandoned it
[00:09:50] for years, now it is the habitation for both the
[00:09:54] boko haram fighters
[00:09:58] and other terrorist groups especially
[00:10:01] operating the shiroro area so we need
[00:10:05] to yes you celebrate the release these
[00:10:08] people but we have to take steps to make it
[00:10:12] impossible for this mass abductions to take place
[00:10:16] and we have to also push aggressively for
[00:10:20] other people still in captivity, those them
[00:10:23] in in ' Bon states who are kidnapped
[00:10:27] in askiraba the other day, those those
[00:10:30] students, we have to find a way
[00:10:33] to um bring them out of
[00:10:36] captivity and they come up with solid,
[00:10:40] solid plan to
[00:10:43] exterminate um the threat
[00:10:47] that these terrorists are constitute to our country,
[00:10:50] especially in the northwest of our country and
[00:10:53] in um many parts
[00:10:56] the north central, especially Niger
[00:10:59] state, the largest state in our country.
[00:11:03] Okay, now today, should this rescue operation, be
[00:11:07] regarded as evidence that our armed forces are up to the task,
[00:11:11] but
[00:11:12] I was about to say that personally, I have to commend the
[00:11:16] men of
[00:11:18] com, they have actually tried with what they did with oyo and now
[00:11:21] following closely to kara, it means that Niger.
[00:11:25] are gradually increasing their capacity yes to contain criminal
[00:11:29] elements in any parts of Nigeria and it also means that those
[00:11:33] people think on govern spaces forest is their
[00:11:36] heaven it's a warning to them that their days are
[00:11:40] numbered I think we have to comment all aspects of our arm forces if it
[00:11:44] has been like this in last five years I think we will have stamp out
[00:11:47] terrorism
[00:11:49] band tree kidnapping Nigeria but today we what all these arm forces are doing
[00:11:53] they have shown enough capacity. and we also have to thank the government, the
[00:11:57] federal government for encouraging them, because without providing the
[00:12:01] necessary facilities like intelligence gathering, like ammunition, like
[00:12:04] weapons, like encouragement, like the the the the increase in
[00:12:08] their salary, whether we like it or not, they are the one that are protecting us, so the arm
[00:12:12] forces deserve encouragement, and it also shows
[00:12:15] that they are capable of doing bigger things, they
[00:12:19] are capable of securing Nigeria, because we are not going to ask any other
[00:12:23] national to come and secure our country. it is the arm forces and we
[00:12:27] could them i think now it wasn't just the arm forces alone local
[00:12:30] communities also do you think this local communities should play
[00:12:34] more form in nigeria's broader
[00:12:37] security because the challenges that we have
[00:12:41] in Nigeria today like dj said when i was so young we here we know
[00:12:45] of uh forest guard they called them ashogboba those who
[00:12:49] are keeping the forest so those people are not doing their job
[00:12:52] alone except with
[00:12:54] the uh mean conivance and support the communities,
[00:12:58] all communities, which means the job of securing our territory is the
[00:13:02] job of all Nigerians, all collective responsibility of all
[00:13:06] Nigerians, each local community, you have to be interested in who
[00:13:09] is in your territory, all traditional rulers, all lobers, all local
[00:13:13] gomes, they have to be interested who is occupying where in their
[00:13:17] treaty, we are not too big, America alone has about three times, about
[00:13:21] 330 million people, we are just 220 million so...
[00:13:25] 'I think all communities, all layers of of
[00:13:28] security intelligence, we should aness it to make sure that
[00:13:32] criminals who actually came from other countries, because
[00:13:36] there
[00:13:37] was a us report that about 30,00 militants entered Nigeria in the last couple of
[00:13:41] years, so we should eliminate all those people came from other
[00:13:45] country to disturb us, why should if
[00:13:48] you want to come and visit me in my house, you want to come and visit me and I give
[00:13:52] you bedroom to sleep and you tell me that'. you choose to sleep in
[00:13:56] the toilet or in the
[00:13:57] in the veranda, which means you have motive, so all those people who are
[00:14:01] not living within the town or within establish villages
[00:14:05] and communities, because the are villages and communities, they all know those who
[00:14:09] live there, so we should remove them from that place, by
[00:14:12] whatever means necessary, and we have to commend our arm forces, our
[00:14:16] arm forces should be commended, now taking off from where
[00:14:20] -
[00:14:21] you know stop, he talked about people coming into. the country
[00:14:25] karara's proximity to Nigeria's borders, what should we be
[00:14:29] doing to secure our borders, to secure to
[00:14:33] disrupt crossborder criminal
[00:14:35] networks?
[00:14:39] we have to take vigilance seriously,
[00:14:43] um, that is not not what we are
[00:14:46] doing, especially in Northern
[00:14:49] Nigeria, our
[00:14:53] borders in northern Nigeria, especially
[00:14:55] in the northwest are so poros
[00:14:59] and there are so many, so
[00:15:03] many unofficial uh
[00:15:06] borders that people
[00:15:10] are using to bring arms into our
[00:15:13] country from the black
[00:15:15] markets, arms constitute
[00:15:19] the oxygen of terrorists and
[00:15:23] bandits. and they bring in arms through the
[00:15:27] black market to keep them
[00:15:30] going.
[00:15:33] i saw a video that showed that through. the
[00:15:37] waterways weapons were brought into
[00:15:41] Nigeria through keby states, i think was the
[00:15:45] police that even cracked
[00:15:48] that particular efforts
[00:15:52] to bring in weapons, so Nigeria
[00:15:55] shares border with Bene republic through
[00:15:59] Kiby States and River Niger stretches
[00:16:03] through both both countries.
[00:16:07] "we need to police our waterways, we need to
[00:16:11] police our landbarders. once we are able to
[00:16:15] stop these weapons from coming in unrestrained
[00:16:19] the way they are coming in, and we
[00:16:22] tighten our border
[00:16:24] posts, definitely
[00:16:28] the rate at which people streaming will will be reduced a
[00:16:32] lot the people who come who are into
[00:16:35] bandity and terrorism. in our country, they are not
[00:16:39] Nigerians. Look at the lakurawas, for example, they came all the way
[00:16:43] from Mali, and they pretended
[00:16:46] to be interested in pure Islam, they were preaching
[00:16:50] to people, they were even apprehending uh bandits
[00:16:54] and cattle rustlers, today they
[00:16:58] turn full blown into a terrorist
[00:17:01] organization, and they are killing our people,
[00:17:05] they are targeting immigration of... officers they
[00:17:08] are targeting soldiers especially in
[00:17:10] keby, but they are also present in uh sokoto
[00:17:14] because um keby has
[00:17:18] boundary with sokuto state in some local governments,
[00:17:22] so we have to police our
[00:17:24] borders, we have to equip our
[00:17:28] arm forces to be able to stand up to these people,
[00:17:32] because some the weapons that they are carrying you
[00:17:36] will see that our regular security operatives don't even
[00:17:39] have those weapons, they've got money to
[00:17:43] buy gpmg, ak
[00:17:46] 47, AK 49 from
[00:17:50] black market, so we also need to arm the people
[00:17:54] who have the responsibility to engage them now, and as I've
[00:17:58] said before, we can have state
[00:18:01] police, but if we not harm them sufficiently, they
[00:18:05] won't be able to stand up to these people, yes? 'I hear people say, oh,
[00:18:09] let's
[00:18:09] have state police after election, because this ignorance people
[00:18:13] think that they want to
[00:18:15] use state police for election, even if the president gives his
[00:18:18] assent today, there's no way you can put state police in
[00:18:22] place without recruiting, without training,
[00:18:26] without arming them, and all of that will take time, because you have to profile people that
[00:18:30] you are bringing in, how some these people
[00:18:34] reason, I don't understand, you already thinking that it is for'.
[00:18:37] election, come on, who will put state police in place
[00:18:41] within so short a time, it said you just want them to be
[00:18:44] slaughtered, they need good
[00:18:47] training, good soldiers, good policemen
[00:18:51] are products of good training, and that's the way
[00:18:54] it will be to for the state police, they must get good
[00:18:58] training, they must be well kitted, they must be
[00:19:01] armed, that is what will make put them
[00:19:05] a good position to be able to pro'.
[00:19:07] let us okay, so we need time to put all of this in
[00:19:11] place, all the people thinking, oh, they are trying to do it for election, they don't know
[00:19:15] what they are talking
[00:19:16] about,
[00:19:20] okay, all right, um, just in 30 seconds, i
[00:19:23] think
[00:19:25] you have to reduce the pressure on the infiltration of terrorists and
[00:19:29] criminals in nigeria, we have to equip the immigration officials more, because
[00:19:33] it is through the immigration that they come in, if they are reduced, if they they have
[00:19:37] more weapons, more ammunition, more capacity to restrict their
[00:19:40] movement into Nigeria, their inflow into Nigeria, it will reduce the pressure the
[00:19:44] Nigerian and forces on the police and other local things, so we have to also
[00:19:48] concentrate on the immigration, all these on police
[00:19:52] borders we have in Nigeria, maybe about 43 we have in the northern part of Nigeria
[00:19:56] and other areas, we have to police our borders where, when we police
[00:20:00] our brothers where we immigration officials who are well equipped, they will
[00:20:03] reduce the tendency these people to infiltrate
