[00:02:57] um this development um is member
[00:03:00] of the digital media committee
[00:03:01] of the Oshu APC campaign
[00:03:16] now days to the election, and um, the APC is
[00:03:20] of actually actively campaigning to win the votes
[00:03:23] of the people. Tell me now, what exactly is
[00:03:26] of the APC selling to the people of Forsum
[00:03:29] na States? Is it a? vision for the states or simply a
[00:03:32] campaign against
[00:03:36] of adilik? new vision:
[00:03:40] we have a manifesto titled the
[00:03:43] prosper agenda, the prosper
[00:03:47] agenda, we came about the manifesto
[00:03:50] going into the 30 local government areas in
[00:03:55] a states and one area office. first of
[00:03:58] all, before we we started our campaign, we went into
[00:04:02] the communities, into the towns, partnering with
[00:04:06] residents, asking questions, we set up a
[00:04:10] of research team who went into all the villages,
[00:04:13] all the communities, all the towns, schools
[00:04:17] and everywhere across the state, who
[00:04:20] has the people what they want from their
[00:04:23] government, we also
[00:04:25] in asked them what their needs are, and so we were able to
[00:04:29] gather. is and then
[00:04:31] you know it became document which we call the
[00:04:35] prosper which is the prosperity for all
[00:04:39] so with starting our campaigns what we were doing is
[00:04:43] that we have listened to your hearness we
[00:04:46] of have had your complaints we we want to attend
[00:04:49] to your needs and so what we've been doing in our campaign across the
[00:04:53] state is that if you have asked if
[00:04:57] from
[00:04:57] of what they have asked us you know to for
[00:05:00] of them for what they have demanded from their government, what we are doing is
[00:05:04] that
[00:05:04] we are telling them how we are going to do it,
[00:05:07] how um we are going to achieve all
[00:05:11] of of these things when... vote the APC at
[00:05:14] the August 15 elections and we are not just
[00:05:18] campaigning, we are ensuring that we are answering
[00:05:22] questions from the good people the stream, we are not just
[00:05:25] campaigning, we are giving them hope, we are showing them and
[00:05:29] we are telling them that the coming APC government
[00:05:33] by November 27 after the elections will
[00:05:36] do all that we have asked for, and that's
[00:05:40] exactly what we have been doing since started our
[00:05:43] campaigns across the states. All right, so now
[00:05:46] the the APC um wants to reclaim Osum state
[00:05:50] now. Tell me what is the biggest failure
[00:05:54] the President administration and what do you believe gives your party
[00:05:58] an edge over this present
[00:05:59] administration?
[00:06:04] You know, like I said, as you going about people have asked
[00:06:08] questions and one the major complaints
[00:06:11] uh... the people of Ash in the last three
[00:06:15] and a half years is that
[00:06:17] the current governor has not taken
[00:06:20] governance
[00:06:22] if outside
[00:06:25] of state today and the people of state once the
[00:06:28] name shen state comes to mind anywhere the first thing
[00:06:32] that comes to mind is that ocean state has a dancing
[00:06:36] govens and that's not in good reputation about the
[00:06:40] state the living sp and so that's the complaints that the
[00:06:44] people have had, that's one, two, the people have seen
[00:06:47] that with the mongols federal allocation
[00:06:51] coming to the state, it has not been utilized very well
[00:06:55] for the people, you heard about the
[00:06:57] financial that the investigation started in march
[00:07:01] this year, and so we've also seen that the current
[00:07:04] administration has engaged in you
[00:07:07] know lot of nepotism, what do we
[00:07:11] mean by nepotism? majority the government
[00:07:15] appointees are from the town from where
[00:07:19] the governor is from, we have also sen in recent times
[00:07:23] that the infrastructures that the president
[00:07:27] administration has done, for example out the total 20 rows that
[00:07:31] the governor has done, 13 out the 20 rows
[00:07:34] are you know situated in are being
[00:07:38] constructed in end, so what you now have in?
[00:07:43] presently and what the people are saying is that this is the
[00:07:46] government of ed for people also we have
[00:07:50] seen that majority the strategic appointments that have been
[00:07:54] made by this present government we see that
[00:07:58] person the appointed are from or from the
[00:08:02] addilic family for example the current governor has
[00:08:06] two them let's let's
[00:08:09] not i understand "I
[00:08:13] understand that yes, this is campaign period, but let's not dwell on the
[00:08:17] the the governor himself, let's dwell on the APC and the governance
[00:08:20] and what you bring to the table, looking at
[00:08:24] all uh your campaign slogans and you found that you talked
[00:08:28] about new Ashhum state now beyond slogans and campaign rallies,
[00:08:32] what are the APC's three biggest priorities for the people of
[00:08:36] Ashum stative
[00:08:36] elected?
[00:08:41] You don't, I've told you that..." we went about before
[00:08:44] we started went into town, but
[00:08:48] the biggest stories that people said you want their
[00:08:52] government, number one is agriculture, number
[00:08:56] one is agriculture, the people of this
[00:08:59] state, state could be said to be an alvarian
[00:09:02] state, whereeb if you look at if you
[00:09:06] look at
[00:09:07] you will see that wes especially
[00:09:10] apart from we were deriving our you know
[00:09:14] we deriving our major majority of our
[00:09:18] revenues back then was through
[00:09:21] agriculture and so what is happening presently is that the
[00:09:25] state government has neglected agriculture so people have
[00:09:28] said that government needs to
[00:09:32] encourage farmers, government needs to encourage farm so we
[00:09:35] have said that candidates the candidates
[00:09:39] of have promise met with farmers
[00:09:42] you farmers all far Association of Nigeria have
[00:09:45] met choice with the governor during this campaign and they have tableed the
[00:09:49] request to the governor and the governor is attended to that's number one number two is
[00:09:53] the health
[00:09:55] the area
[00:09:56] of health we have
[00:09:57] also said people have complain that health -
[00:10:01] state ranks number 11 in Nigeria when it
[00:10:04] comes to health presently and do not forget it's on record and the
[00:10:08] fact that while the last administration the APC of his
[00:10:11] excellency.
[00:10:25] number three is education top priority now that our government to
[00:10:29] number three is education we have seen that last
[00:10:33] organization 1500 teachers across the
[00:10:36] state, the current governmentts all those teachers
[00:10:40] via an executive order and if you go to our schools in
[00:10:44] presently we lack good infrastructure, we lack good
[00:10:48] teachers and thereb
[00:10:49] education
[00:10:56] of government, agriculture, health and the
[00:10:59] education, so let me take you up on agriculture, since oshon
[00:11:03] state is a largely agrarian state, and earlier you had mentioned the
[00:11:07] farmers met with the governor, it means that, but let me correct you, the farmers met
[00:11:11] with the governorship candidates the APC, since the APC
[00:11:14] candidate has met with the farmers, how does the party
[00:11:18] or the the party rather turn plan to turn
[00:11:21] agriculture from subsistence farming into? serious
[00:11:25] source of jobs and wealth
[00:11:26] creation,
[00:11:30] mechanized. okay, so in our manifesto, what
[00:11:34] we have, what, what we have in our manifesto is
[00:11:37] that first of all, government will
[00:11:40] provide farming
[00:11:44] implements such as for example, like tractors
[00:11:48] for for farmers and because these are being their
[00:11:52] complaints and all of that. the government will also
[00:11:56] present farm
[00:12:00] imputes such as fertilizers, sidlings and so
[00:12:04] on and so forth for farmers, because these have been their requests. let's
[00:12:08] also see, one the things we also do is that
[00:12:11] iki state is very close to state, we have also
[00:12:15] seen what the governor state, have done
[00:12:19] in state as regards farming and there is
[00:12:22] nothing bad if you copy what is good from others so are
[00:12:26] you saying are you saying
[00:12:28] that the governorship are you saying that the governor are are you saying the governor
[00:12:31] president is doing nothing about agriculture absolutely
[00:12:35] nothing i'm telling you you can you
[00:12:39] can do your research about it this government has not done anything
[00:12:42] when it comes to agriculture in the last three and a half
[00:12:46] years nothing you have done you can do your research as well we
[00:12:50] also see that from the current the governor
[00:12:53] of state as in invested everyly
[00:12:56] agriculture and these are some the things that he has
[00:13:00] done is to ensure that you support farmers during
[00:13:03] planting season by you by the way of clearing the firms
[00:13:07] for them and then we also have a plan in when it comes to
[00:13:11] agriculture to support and to fund coperative
[00:13:15] societies for farmers all right and when we do that because like i
[00:13:18] said these are the things have brought forward to to the
[00:13:22] APC these are their complaints and ready to
[00:13:25] assist and support them and also
[00:13:28] you know by that way when
[00:13:30] you invest in agriculture you are also doing way of
[00:13:34] ensuring food security in the state and through the
[00:13:38] agricultural value you will be able to provide jobs as
[00:13:41] well all right so just hold your thought there we'll go a quick break
[00:13:45] um is talking to us on um matters arising in the
[00:13:49] oshoon state election of course is member the all progressives congress
[00:13:53] in Oshin State will go for quick break and when we return we'll have some
[00:13:57] more discussions with him, it's still
[00:13:58] standpoint.
[00:14:28] you're watching standpoint and our guest is still
[00:14:31] is
[00:14:35] the a member digital media committee ashun APC campaign council, he is live with us,
[00:14:38] vsim ushugbu talking about matters arising with
[00:14:42] the elections in nation state and of course we um we're still
[00:14:46] talking to him now the electorate will be asking what
[00:14:50] will change in their daily lives with the APC wins
[00:14:54] what's your clearest answer to that
[00:14:56] question,
[00:15:02] do not forget
[00:15:02] that I said, we do sincerely apologize with the
[00:15:06] network issues happening there, but was talking to us
[00:15:09] about the plans the all progressives congress in
[00:15:12] Oshin status, they try to wrestle power
[00:15:16] with other political parties, including your court
[00:15:19] party, can you hear me
[00:15:21] now?
[00:15:25] Yes, oh good, the audio is quite clear because we're having issues with the audio.
[00:15:29] Now, let's hear your line of thoughts regarding the question I asked tearlier,
[00:15:33] what will change in the daily lives of the residents of Washen
[00:15:37] State? the APC wins um the elections
[00:15:39] okay so with
[00:15:43] the intervention the APC government will be the intervention
[00:15:47] the APC government food security
[00:15:50] be secure there will be food security and then the agricultural value
[00:15:54] chain we also provide jobs for people
[00:15:56] farmers do their farms with the support from
[00:16:00] the government and then going into educational sector i said that
[00:16:03] schools infrastructure education infrastructure will be upgraded
[00:16:07] new ones will
[00:16:08] be built and then the APC government we employ teachers
[00:16:12] and train the existing ones and the new ones and also that what that
[00:16:15] means is that the educational sector, the primary, the basic education
[00:16:19] and the secondary education will be upgraded, and
[00:16:23] then copies as students we have learning
[00:16:27] and conducive environment to learn, and also I mentioned the health sector
[00:16:31] whereby there will be adequate and efficient
[00:16:34] healthcare service delivery, we also... the
[00:16:38] APC also have in their manifesto an energy road
[00:16:42] map which will ensure adequate power
[00:16:45] supply in the state we set up is separate
[00:16:48] committee for that energy roadmap which will ensure
[00:16:52] that electricity will improve and that
[00:16:55] will also affect small and medium scale
[00:16:58] enterprises will also affect artisans and
[00:17:02] everyone m all of this all of
[00:17:06] this plans but
[00:17:07] "a lot of people have said the problem we have as a country is not about
[00:17:11] making laws or making plans, it's about
[00:17:13] implementation. how does the APC
[00:17:17] plan implement all of this um plans they have for the
[00:17:21] people of ours
[00:17:22] state?
[00:17:26] you know, i said earlier that going about our
[00:17:30] campaigns, we didn't just sit down, somewhere in the
[00:17:33] room to write our manifesto,
[00:17:35] you know, i have said that. we wrote this manifesto
[00:17:39] based on the needs the
[00:17:42] people, we wrote this manifesto based
[00:17:46] on the needs or the demands from the people, so what we have
[00:17:50] been doing across of state during our campaign is
[00:17:54] how implement all these demands which you have
[00:17:58] demanded from us, so implementing them, one the things that will help us
[00:18:02] is that if you look at around the states now states
[00:18:05] allocations, are now doubled
[00:18:09] some or tripled some four times now
[00:18:12] because one the major
[00:18:15] you know
[00:18:16] you know one of major needs of any state
[00:18:19] government or any government is financing one
[00:18:23] the things that are speed development in states in the
[00:18:27] past is that you know there have not been enough money and all
[00:18:30] of that and so now that states now have
[00:18:33] and states people have complaints that
[00:18:38] the the allocations of revenue in state, the income
[00:18:41] state with the performance the current valutation,
[00:18:45] there are no commensurat, if you put them side by
[00:18:49] side, they are not commensurat, so and that's one the things that will help
[00:18:52] us the federal government allocation, and then by the
[00:18:56] time one the plans is that the APC
[00:19:00] plans to bring in investors, either local investors or foreign
[00:19:04] investors into the space to ensure job. and
[00:19:08] then by the time we have enough money in finances,
[00:19:12] allocation of revenue, all these will be
[00:19:14] implemented. governor adelik is
[00:19:18] campaigning on his record and as unveild a five points
[00:19:21] agenda for his second term. um, what is the APC's
[00:19:25] strongest counter argument to that record? now for the
[00:19:28] record, he he talked about integration, integrated youth, women
[00:19:32] and workers welfare, infrastructure consolidation for
[00:19:36] citizens, agro. industrial expansion, affordable
[00:19:39] qualitative health and education access, um, improved and
[00:19:43] secured business environment for job creation. for you,
[00:19:47] do you think he has lived up to that bidding, and if not, what is the APC's
[00:19:51] strongest counter argument to
[00:19:52] that?
[00:19:56] well, we have said again, and I'll keep
[00:20:00] repeating again, that have gone around. I am aus state
[00:20:04] presently and I've been in state, I live in state. and then
[00:20:07] know what the people are saying with all that promises, the present
[00:20:11] administration has filled in his promises and how is
[00:20:15] it you know how is
[00:20:19] attending to that? we have told that people again, we are not
[00:20:23] just making promises. for example, during this
[00:20:26] election, during this campaign season, there are little one or
[00:20:30] two things that the APC have started doing
[00:20:33] across, in some communities and towns.
[00:20:37] aspect the show, the APC campaign
[00:20:41] council have even graded some roads that are unmterable and then they
[00:20:45] are now motorable already, so implementation won't be a
[00:20:48] problem and again, one the things that we are banking on is a
[00:20:52] candidate a candidate is experienced both in public
[00:20:56] sector and the private sector, he has been in the
[00:21:00] banking sector for over the decades and then in the
[00:21:03] in the public sector since 2012 so we have the the
[00:21:07] candidate the APC have
[00:21:11] the experience we have been tested in diff when
[00:21:15] came has in you know
[00:21:18] in the system 12 and so this is what the APC is banking
[00:21:22] to ensure that whatever promises we have made during this
[00:21:25] campaign will definitely refuel this promises. so
[00:21:29] let's talk about your candidate quickly, but we are we are out of time
[00:21:32] actually, he he's asking for Ash voters to entrust him
[00:21:36] with the state, what makes him different from other political
[00:21:40] alternative before the electorate? just
[00:21:41] quickly,
[00:21:45] experience and capacity. again, I said earlier
[00:21:49] that... he is experienced b is financial
[00:21:52] expert and is a good manager of resources while
[00:21:56] the first thing he had in public sector is that it was
[00:22:00] general of state investment
[00:22:04] corporation limited 400 million watts of asset he
[00:22:08] raised to 6 billion
[00:22:12] before he became the commissioner for finance twice and
[00:22:15] then so what makes him different from others is
[00:22:19] exp and capacity to manage
[00:22:23] resources well and adequately, that's what makes
[00:22:27] it differ. thank you so much for talking to
[00:22:30] us, quite an interesting discussion, thank you very much for talking to
[00:22:33] us, thank
[00:22:37] you
[00:22:37] to
