[00:02:00]Uh you see that topic you have just brought up if you consider the realities on ground in the life of Nigerians and they vote according to reality in their heart not minding Eba because we all go to the same market Mr. Mike Mr. me see uh if you if you consider the reality in the living standard of Nigeria and the cost of living if Nigeria want to put that as a basis for voting may not vote for that's the real reason because the reason that when president remove something from pilot he knew that I would say that decision he was not well thought out is a reason that was just pronounced on the day of this morning he never sat now and know take a critical look of this thing I'm going to do what if I will it be in the life of Nigeria of course you know when you remove subsidy from sorry from product the price of that product of other other living other other items of things will rise [screaming] up will go up and that's exactly what will happen that that's what happened and THE [screaming] money Mr. President M should have spent that money in cushing the effect on living standard of Nigeria on the cost of living. I mean the promotion femotion you know alternative to the private one we make the price of fair to come down by grants by social services full supply. Yes, president supposed to spend this money extra money made from subsidy no money safe on to pushing the effect on Nigerians but he left Nigerians to to their face on their own because of everything went up rarely up because of rose up living fer to to put down the conce that's number one then the issue of we are now left with OB and OB with so I think I with person I don't can I m you shock with my commission on these two or these two people I've technically said that may not get majority vote based on analy what I've just said then let these two people left now I You be surprised we are just we just confir one thing now on four I said yesterday I didn't remember the figure again but Mr. H just confir the number to me congress score 1.4 4 million throughout the whole federation last year last election. It's called 900 900,000 points in kind of the remaining less,000 voting 35 states. NOW IF COULD DO THAT LAST last two year if you take the vote got in another state it's a massive millions of vote that means cono is not more popular than in the north. So if you go by that statistics we already have I think we stand better chances in the north. That's number one. NUMBER TWO, THE NORTHERNERS that I know will not go for second citizen to buy president when there's president in their hand if we pick a ticket not for president and congress will not be going to the same Netherlands I'm going for president they will choose president than v president that means I think we see in March than so that means cannot drive in the north behind OB if I will get more votes in the NORTH THAN SO NOW MANY VOTES in the south now it's going to be shar between and you get my point SO IF GUYS NOT taking I think IF HE GET MILLIONS of vote because he's only have millions of votes if he get millions of votes in the north and he picks some stupid from remaining party of the south I'm not saying he We have six geop in Nigeria. We have the north, three zone in the north, three in the south. I'm telling you when it comes to the power not [screaming] values presidential power than bad presidency GO FOR PRESIDENCY I GO FOR presidency I full any man who love power so much Niger cannot see presidency ticket I going for president who doesn't have any any VALUE THAT'S WHERE [screaming] THAT'S WHERE I'm so I think we will see demo vote in north yes other parts of the south the vote of the south will be shared Ob ANDU ARTICLE THE NUMBER of millions of vote come from you have millions of voting in millions.

[00:07:14]Well, uh we are in a polit, you know, uh electioneering year, if I may put it this way. And uh we are bound to see surprises, you know, we've been seeing defection, you understand? Particularly NDC has become the party that uh people are talking about, you understand? Uh a lot of defection, you understand? And then we could see how Nigerians on their own uh you know are getting involved with uh politics you know Nigerians you know who were dosile before now getting involved registering to become members of party. That is to tell you you know the reality we are in right now. Obas if you ask me um has a very good chance of uh giving the APC a run for their money.

[00:08:05]The reason is because of the combination of Obi conc did something you know that I applaud him very well after he lost election in 2023.

[00:08:15]From that moment Obi kept watching tirelessly till now particularly he was able to understand that his he did not perform much in the north and we saw how he's been traveling to the north you know selling his manifesto his plan for the northern people that we are yet to see any you know you know aspirant coming out to say things like that and we've seen how he has always identified with schools that to tell you that he's a man who has passionate about empowering you know the youth you understand he invests so much on particularly nursing schools you understand so I and if you look at these two figures to me is the perfect match because these two figures have real organic movements >> uh apart from political structure one man with organic real organic uh followership in the north is Konoso take away party. Konoso is one man that uh people will just want to you know identify with at any time. I think even though has been a veteran has built political structure around. I can bet you if you remove that factor of uh uh structure I think you cannot withstand conoso. You understand? And what we saw in the last election I I can assure you conquers stand the chance of gaining more votes for NDC in in in 2027. The reason is that the northern people are agreed across different parties. There are lots of people in the north who are only interested in ensuring that they unseat presidentu. So some of these people who did not tow the part of conquo may want to do that and I want to be there must be an agreement gentleman agreement between Jonathan I mean Obi and Koso we are all here when Obi said that he was going to run for one term. I believe kongos will never agree to be to be to be a running mate to obi if there is no agreement on ground. So I want TO BELIEVE THAT PART of he will be selling that part of nar to the people in the north that we stand the chance after [laughter] you know uh the first time after you know promised you know one time after one time we stand the time of uh you know having power in the north. So I believe even though the only challenge I have is the article factor. The article factor may work against uh what Obong stands for.

[00:10:58]You understand? That's why some people look at as someone some may say he's working for Tinibu but I don't see Atiku you know practically working for but he may be doing that subconsciously you know maybe because of certain things that how can these people he expect Obi you know to depitize him and Obi you know will want to stand on his own instead of depatitizing him you understand so there are people factor where is so that we will not have a reputation of what happened in 2023 three because we saw how the vote was divided one with 30 something% now not up to 40% vote you understand so it is OB it's it's a nightmare to the ruling party a [screaming] let's go listen and listen good let me tell you the the the clue that you may not understand in 2027 is a year and a year whereby Nigerians is going to breathe a little because we need to breathe.

[00:12:06]Tunu says something. I quote you. He said if he did not fix electricity listen if he did not fix what electricity we should not do what?

[00:12:19]Vote for him. Then why should coming out to say I should vote for him? I Banan EVANGELIST WHEREBY he has failed by giving me electricity which he used to campaign he said DON'T VOTE ME THAT is what he said and now that means is now he has already made it clear for me that in 2027 I shouldn't vote for him so if I didn't vote for him it is not a sin according to his statement so and I must not vote for him in 2027 so and that JUST IT WHEN he removed, I believe as he remove it, where is the money?

[00:13:02]Are you hearing me? Where is the money?

[00:13:07]ARE YOU HEARING ME? WHERE IS that money?

[00:13:09]And how has we the benefited from that money?

[00:13:16]How do we benefit?

[00:13:19]First one, the sanity begins at home. Is that also We are [screaming] having insecurity in Nigeria. Babulu was busy protecting another neighboring country from Q plots.

[00:13:35]Are you hearing me? But Nigerians are carrying on daily basis and he could not be able to stop it. Where do we go from here? What is that confidence that I should have where he is to vote in 2027?

[00:13:50]DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS EVERY TENDENCY of me voting him in 2027 that mean he will come and finish the remaining Nigerians that remain now? Yes. Yes. My beloved brother even if not 100%. Even if not 100%. Obaso will reduce the insecurity.

[00:14:07]I might be HONEST TO BECAUSE ANYBODY THAT IS not ready to share blood is one that is ready to fight those that are sharing blood.

[00:14:19]We have [screaming] have we have had a series of negotiation.

[00:14:23]We have had a series of amnesty in this APC regime yet we did not see anything better. I BELIEVE UNDER PDP we had what amnesty Niger militant you and I saw it we are living witness of it TODAY NIGA AS AT THAT time they drop their and they drop their you know their troubles and everything and there was peace I could remember during time that was the time of duba there was an amnesty to do that time DOWN THEN [screaming] EVER SINCE APC HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN AMNESTY, HE HAS NEVER given an amnesty that makes this fan to drop their arms. Rather, he's given an amnesty that is giving them opportunity to acquire more bullet and more gun to gun you and I down. You see, imagine in a country LIKE NIGERIA, SOMEBODY ONE PERSON is saying they should dialogue with terrorist. Where do you DO THAT? WHERE WHO DOES THAT? HOW can you negotiate with a real terrorist?

[00:15:31]That means shumi is trying to tell me and you that government are the one backing terrorists. That mean that should come and do the needful that they need to do for these terrorists to do what? To back out and to calm down for now. It has gone beyond it cannot solve because amnesty is not given three times.

[00:15:53]Amnesty is done once and THE ONE THIS ONCE GOVERNMENT APC has been given to this fan is not an amnesty. It is called power empowerment to do what? To gather more arms because in amnesty you drop your arms. But the one that APC have been given, they never drop nor surrender their arms. You see why this kind the NS that shumi is calling on is non-negotiable and is not acceptable.

[00:16:23]The one they are DOING IS TO EMPOWER them more to acquire more arms and that have been the one running but during Jonathan and here at time during time they dropped their arms and they dropped every weapon in their hand in their territory in their domain and what happened there came peace. But this one they are negotiating. There is a difference between amnesty and negotiation. These ones are negotiating.

[00:16:51]IMAGINE EITHER YEAH LAST month some persons over 470 was kidnapped and these people [screaming] are giving federal government notice to come and b those people. Imagine that because that is their own way of amnesty that never work in favor of humanity in a country called Nigeria.
