so a lot of my friends gather say take you hold this one press small for my hand U you try we proud of you U you try go go for continue with the raise they encourage me my friends encourage me oftion but APC PDP okay don't don't the don't see apcor you this one coll for APC and everything now you don't the you see theor federal government B they bring one kind K they flock some people they fled them there some people they cry say they FL me the same people they FL other people before they now they call they say so any way to take say govern now there not them when they FL they talk nowu they send to come divide vote give money so that he go divide vote the APC candidate no matter how you divide vote he can't win okay excuse me no no matter how you divide votes he not feel win okay free and fair no matter how you divide vote people cannot vote for that individual free and fair okay talk about okay you don't you don't finish I don't see you for do North I don't say for do central for different different localities would be the first problem when you don't observe you tackle as a governor if you let electricity light the first thing where my government go face and particularly we go do because you know say electricity not be overnight matter we call Long lead item so you go quick start because before you start to the show AB the reason why AB show quick you say a project was already on ground private sector when the governor come join with Professor okay so we go start quick what will we do electricity it's a mix Federal own say state do their own power me the federal cancel so as we come we will join Federal who not get Transformer we buy where transmission line spoil we help them join up so that short and medium term we would help people get light under the federal structure then we will diversify sources of power we will invest in solar power for some areas while we will immediately start Edo power because the law now allow us to do Edo power I don't they do as a lawyer I they work for inside electricity sector 1999 all of us sit down join when they what we know as Nea that time now me now me break and down all this BC when you all part of Nea before now me do me corze all of them create all these companies as a lawyer so I understand the electricity to generate one megawatt of power can be as expensive as $1 million not cheap so therefore we go set up the machiner luck the law has been created the enabling environment leg structure don't we go start we start to build power plants across the state one of the first place when start because or get gas the largest Inland deposit of gas in Nigeria and gas now the cleanest source of uh for power so at least you know say when you build that power plant there the issue of piping the gas not come that reduce the cost so that be the first place when we go start I take you to come back home the other time when say they talk about insecurity and one of the the Pres ad they aid insecurity for the issue when say get to do with cism you understand and when this Governor talk about this you say you get a different approach to addressing the matter of courtis people in the CL for C in the support C them and the rest and now you okay maybe talk way how you say you want to take control matter concern ctis you agree with me say ctis want Toc they affect our youth negatively ni security with that so so my papa and a doctor let me use medical analogy okay as against me and the governor on this position the governor be like who see big wound he say we put plaster me say no we look inside this wound to see what CA so that we F start to the Healer from inside before you put plaster you talk and say you don't put band aid over a deep scar you don't paper over the cracks now talk so my Approach be say this ctis me go un when me un ctis I get friends be C I get brother be ctist say me not join maybe I not get leave so I not join as with the commer school they leave cism for Gates because they see work I you understand me Thomas they see work they were gainfully employed today you have to ask yourself the question why are our children going into cultism in such numbers that are the only issue I ra when I go up that day I say why what is the problem what is the root because if C is not see customer he not going do cism that's what I said there let us address why we having those issues I which is if not see custom that's the first issue okay there are people who are patronizing them particularly politicians let us deal with that issue and I referred to when Governor sh was in office he gave amnesty or something like that just as what we did with the militant in the Niger Delta because it don't turn to Hydra headed monster you understand I will prosecute them I will prosecute them I will arrest them I how many you want persecute it has become it don't become it don't enter our society call can I hear when talk remember so I my my suggestion was simply that time I say make we look inside ask wait ask you the next question before I ask you I want go ask for tell us what you want want make answer bar welcome we wish you well but before before you go I be I get two question to ask you uh now you be the Savior where those they expect or another one they come after you that one number one number two what you do about this those State Road this major road this road say like trademark for those people uh what what you do about that road be the fourth be the fth be the seven project you would like to do and the question I want ask you that that eom road we can be like trademark if want talk of bad Road for Nigeria those still there among the first three join but among the first three and the first one be say now you be the Savior where those expect or make we wait for another one good morning not which one be Savor inside the M you know you are using biblical terminology we live sa your I believe say if everybody they do their own part all of us you reach there do your own work cu the work not finish you do your own work because you get mind to Serve the People labor party will be for Papa Mama picking when you do your own work it say the people when they there don't they do their own work you hand over to the next man the next man or woman do your own work the thing for better so I'm not I not be savior but me go reach there I go do my own work I go do my own part for the people and by the time we finish they know say person day here when work for the people so for me that that the issue so sa leave sa your matter from inside the the talk secondly state of emergency need immediately you know for this St put when they talk say please be with us this is a Federal Road for on top that Road H that very shameful something we not going to do it like that labor party go do Federal Road our governor when they have their state he they do Federal Road when you do the Federal Road there are mechanisms in place it get way when you go Federal go collect your money back when you do the road me I know the minister works today name engineer umahi former governor of state that the work of Governor you go utilize your connection your personal contact you go Federal Ministry works you go sit down with say I want do this road give me permission when money pay my money back aqu Rivers do wi why we not do for this side and that road the major not just for state for Nigeria and so it it affect business you know you know say we not get call multimodal Transportation everybody Road Tad Trail Road ro road B Bic Road once Road scatter the way when don't scatter so and first and foremost you must ask yourself which kind country be this which kind when State when Road it is devastating the way when the matter be so immediately immediately that road we must do immediately upon Assumption of office you see when I see to ask you very question see the border on the people when you come up from this country some ailments what they call teral ailments somebody like me now my mother-in-law di of cancer my mama di of cancer and many many other things like that right right now for here many many people get so many many ter emails where they not fit get treat and other countries it get some kind sicknesses when say government they take over those kind of if for Niger like do talk personal experience you blame him say lost mother to the same thing lost mother-in-law the two mother get tonight talk about so I'm a cancer survival stage three cancer as you see me sir thank you Jesus I am sitting here today with you alive because of the grace of God and because of a system that has proper medical or health care that why I de with you today so when you talk your own that one far I did tell you of myself okay right um also my papa and a doctor is 84 years old so I'm I understand the Health Care system I don't know say he get any illness or ailment When government they take over for any jurisdiction instead what I know is that government they ensure because healthare is not cheap government they ensure say proper insurance they in place when you don't fix the healthare system system say they work well then you will make sure say Insurance day so that people go not get money get access to Insurance the first time I I was very ill I go England I get insurance 2003 my bill by the time they finish Now 50 something th000 2003 you know how much that one be now I not pay one C I get insurance I present my card they pay for everything operation Med hospital care they pray for so for me let me start by saying health is a human right healthare human right they not person it is not it should not it should not you not need to be say who your papa be how much your how much you get for pocket no government must organize itself in such a way that everybody get access to healthare okay take you back to th sorry not health is very important three issues the doctors tell us healthare professionals tell us say most of the ailments when they worry us they are the primary healthare level when we talk of Primary healthare Center they use them as political gimmick it's not a gimmick we of labor party will put one Primary Healthcare Center in each of the 192 WS so you deal with those problem at that level so that who get K not go ubth who get get in growing toenail will go ubth then you now set up the secondary level which is your General Hospital you not going do like this government when turn General Hospital for to private clinic this is unacceptable when they not our Central Hospital be that before we thought that people will go there go as general hospital now pay as you go you now you must have a group of secondary school secondary level healthare centers they call General hospitals those Primary healthare Center 10 10 will feed into one General Hospital so that when you don't pass primary healthare level they ref and Hospital must be up and running functioning then when he pass General Hospital level and then you say come go ubts come go for which is your tertiary institution it must work and side by side your functioning health insurance system must also be working you know what kind things con my road and everything you quick talk say ah District government bear with us or say this Ro doesn't belong to US Federal and all of that but don't forget even Mr President sit and say the state of the road Nigerians be with you don't talk anything about what be your reaction to that see this president when he talk came into office 29th of May uh last year okay right e Road has been in that condition not be last year matter over 20 years not be last year matter so leave T matter when we never start to talk T matter our president I talking about a state a road that has that has in this state when don't you don't scatter before our eye we they look and they go so e Road now it be like Bush track inside Forest so so yeah the president what I guess what the president tell us say he just come bear with us we we one year after we will start to fix the RO there's no way when federal government will fix R in one year you understand I mean so make we not you know what just call Red hering Red hering you are trying tocate the argument focus on theate government don't bring into the matter you sit down here instead of to do the you enter helicopter fly inside a do when the the longest distance by Road ought to be 1 hour 40 minutes our government take helicopter Bible say remove the L when they your first before you to what do why you do that road the road or people want do business the road so we confuse the issue make we make I bring you take the next question we get because they ask you say you do I they talk about the BL and the Fe they see the Divide for the labor party you affect your fortune for inside this election I with you the other day say the presidential candidate of the party they come when they come I see the kind of crowd where say somebody tell me organic crowd they know rent and all of that I won't find out from you because they said that man for Bush they blow whistle because the house they settled and the rest this not going affect your fortune for the election yeah I mean get the potential to affect me affect me every family get you know when we SM that time you you know Children Cry something for her so I understand you Papa Mama for he can't focus for school not to talk of exam so that me Happ Pap my own Papa Mama for my party they arrange the they settle the matter they call small small so as you know not only yesterday on the 4th of September they do meeting for here I don't know if you hear of the meeting stakeholder meeting of labor party because the matter don't pass careful so I small talk say as a lawyer I will give small advice like this tow so they call meeting in fact say they call that meeting because what want pass ADV when they advise you you will take her so they called the meeting all stakeholders well attended unfortunately I America that time when I GOP see people for that side they do the meeting they say well the way when matter be so we get to set upak committee so I praise Dr and Mr well well they try not easy but well attend all our senat there all of our house ofs there stakeholders for the party did there they come set up the K committee headed by our mama senator n former Minister of Finance Senator secretary right give the list our Senator even I see this rep member I see name to for inside the the list so they don't send the letter to say see Comm we have giving them 90 days to conduct AB they reach out to AB you know small small okay they don't say in 90 days go and do convention and you will start from bottom World up so they do now AB lawyer like me AB believe say be chairman at least be chairman he go now he know he know I hear say they don't threaten and those when with they go go Court ultimately now Court determine but for now now no wait cuz you ask me whether it affect me so for now we getal committee AB say you agree now when we reach election of next week I'm already a candidate of the party I get my ticket approved by my Deputy don't announce name right call when he wasters register foro my own copy I'm recognized by an the party in Edo State most of them are with me so the the risk is mitigated as talk the risk of this conflict affecting me at don't reduce well well as you see the people are the party people are they move around well okay they very happy okay uh car go from small when you look you just you go the diaspora committee diaspora tour and all that for the economy what you want out number one what you out from two the diaspora committee they see other stat other how you so the first thing I will tell you say Edo state is performing suboptimally what that one say we we not they do as well as we supposed do so before I even add my first question I say the one when hand what we use and do a state that earns 16 billion naira a month when you combine IG and F 16 billion a state when they borrow when don't borrow reach almost 600 billion and I'm not just throwing numbers around you can check fact check me we are owing almost 600 billion may not for ground correspond or commensurate that kind of income profile and debt profile so the first thing me say say we are underperforming so me go first make sure say our allocation of resources must follow certain priorities people oriented people impacting people focus program now we go first start with then we you know say presidential Council of is of doing business rank Edo as number 37 on ease of doing business that mean we get now abja okay theja so the r c has number 37 so that mean Ed is the worst place to do business in Nigeria we say don't know the carry last on top this one we carry last under Basi so the first thing we need to do we need to improve that ranking because to improve the economy businesses must come in investors local and foreign must come in so that we can now improve the economy but remember I say electricity I say that the first thing when I could do because that not the you know when they want for the of manual release so we go jump start the economy with electricity so so for me that one of the most important things to do so we will work very hard with what we get now across sector then we go make sure say we jump start the economy with electricity with security and the infrastructure those kind things where attract people into investors into the economy diaspora the reason why we go there they not get vote but they get huge influence and so for me it's a two-way street Ado is not harnessing our potential in the diaspora enough so for us as labor party we must gather them okay no problem we go back to Abuja and make can ask us make he ask you the next our friend again round up now want get want answer uh my bar before you go make I give you this two question sharply the energy you get for I don't know how you want to channel that energy especially for the it sector you understand we not P use bad word now want to use good word for our youth and the way boys sharp for it I don't know your plan where you get to fit channel the it what they do now to something positive that one one and number two H what be your feedback mechanism you get any plan like that say you go Feit the people Fe reach you which plan you get be that because sometimes you want do Road for some people the people school be problem so what be your plan to F get mechanism where the people F reach you sharply my question that can can I help tell tell them say tell them say because Ed do carry D forhead and he wear your ring hold one laptop not not me saying a Yahoo boy our children are talented and gifted now the one when do crime or when put your hand for bad thing arrest them prosecute them I don't get problem but for me technology is the oxygen we breathe in the world we live in today so any ping when show talent for technology government must har the soall Yahoo boy for this country today for Nigeria may very well be the tech Guru in Bangalore in India because for me technology is important once our we go create incubators where we go harness the skills of our kids when show affinity for technology when show say they get the Sabi technology because technology is the language of today and we intend to set up a University of Technology in Edo State specifically in aoko Edo we go set up University of Technology because any ping when they not they teach technology today is a functional illiterate so we must prepare our youth for the future and you are right the youth energy is high and make you know not be every ping go invest we must resuscitate our vocational schools our technical schools so that they go hold Talent go their hand and the approach is this we will go sector by sector do needs assessment ask them what skills do you need then we will get our schools to produce to train along those lines because look at Rema Rema do concert the other day how many you know how many services are needed to produce a to bring a concer about I can assure you say most of people come do they will bring them from other places we must train people to be able to provide jobs for certain sectors but the second question when they ask uh relating to I've drawn a blank do you remember his second question the question because the question feed for me feedback mechanism so for me till today he hold Town Hall meetings in Rwanda till today every month they hold town hall meeting I they go I they go to four times a year I can't get enough of that country he they hold town hall meeting till today yes they put government official for this side put the people for this side this one say our for commissioner come out happen there and there they s ministers there and there so me you can be sure say open the policy the people must have access to their governor secondly government has they we open three government house anes you come today they say Governor this week work because we must be with the people then local government autonomy is critical we make sure say the local this autonomy when Supreme Court don't affirm Champion we we work with the local government their money and their money we not in fact we give them because that is the level of government that is most that is closest to the people however local government chairman supposed if we see for GR for he must go stay with the people time to share with you time friend before I go ask you very leave on a very lighter note the question ask the time say who is your your guy you understand ask you now who be your own guy who my own guy the people they ask that one now ask you now who be your own guy Papa God is my musle okay I've been born again Christian for 40 plus years you see I'm a man of Faith the reason why you see me they go go be like say I get one thing when the only thing when they Propel me God is my father I not get god father God is my father so talk to talk to people for just 30 seconds so well the matter people hand hand and true finger see this finger hand day and at this finger you use to press the ballot paper when you see that logo Papa Mama P now on hand day if we go election day they call election day 21st September we they call her Freedom Day Freedom Day because bondage we so Hand now to change the circumstance so you see all Theo men you go see the logo of the one not do Road the logo of the one not do Hospital the logo of the one not do school you go jump them P when you jump the pass you reach labor party you put your hand that matter don't change labor party lab party Papa Mama L you go see there
