00:00I will say Merry Christmas and Good New Year in advance.
00:08It's a joy to listen to the good and the history of our discovery.
00:19Unfortunately, we have not done well in the past to cater for the ghouls that laid gold in earth, the Niger dead.
00:40But, fortunately, recently, God has given us the opportunity.
00:49Dr. Ogboku, the MD of Niger Dead and Development, is a transformative, committed, highly focused MD.
01:19The commitment to duty, the love of the nation, is noticed by all, including myself.
01:39I pay attention to Niger Delta Development issues.
01:46You mentioned the street lights, the roads, the infrastructure development.
01:56We will continue with that, and we won't let you down.
02:05You have contributed immensely and passionate in resources to the development of this country.
02:21You have done well.
02:28You have been very, very peaceful people.
02:36You are progressive.
02:40Dinero-pollineous politics, before now, it's difference.
02:52But your agitation is consistent with what a producing community should have
03:02without any agitation or...
03:03of all. But the management of the past, the focus now is going forward with progress determination
03:23and constructive engagement with the community, and the entire nation. We cannot excuse the
03:38neglect of the past, but living in the past do us no good, except take it and run with
03:52it now carefully. And when we took over, the economy of this country was in a very difficult
04:05situation. But I can tell you today that we are out of the tunnel of depression and
04:22economic disaster. The economy has torn the corner for good.
04:29It's left for us to ensure that the ordinary people at the bottom of the ladder feel the
04:47state of this economy. We're working on that. And Dr. Oboku has been very instrumental to
04:59that. You know, when you watch the Niger Delta program, I will see, you know, market women
05:09trade ads, enjoying the solar light at night, in a situation where, before that, the community
05:23go to sleep by six thirty-seven o'clock. No nightlife, no economy activities, no even social. No.
05:35That has changed. And I'm very grateful to you to have people like him, and including...
05:46I've been and others who are very, very committed to the development of this country. You mentioned
05:59Jonathan. Jonathan is a very, very good leader. He's a good citizen. He's a good son of Nigeria,
06:13a leader. He will continue to honor him and promote his commitment to democratic value, justice,
06:28and fairness in our society. What can I promise you? You mentioned the erosion. We're looking
06:42to that. We will tame it. It didn't ask for too much on the bridge that is an infrastructure
07:04that elicit the economy and progress and development of the area. We will see to that.
07:18And other areas of collaboration, education, the institute to immortalize as, you know, as the first,
07:32you know, prospect opportunity for the country. That shouldn't be anything difficult. Just, you know, I will ask
07:46to continue to work with me and that we have distinguished senator too and all of them. We are going to navigate through it together.
08:00And I think that if they just, if they just make my life easy for me, in the national assembly, with their corporation, they have a lot to contribute to the economic growth and turn around of these, you know, challenges.
08:23Now, part of Nigeria is challenged by the terrorist and banditry. And the challenge is numerous. You know, a little accident make a bigger noise in terrorism or banditry.
08:52No matter how long such has been achieved. We are prosecuting them. We are arresting them. We are neutralizing some of them. We will continue to do that.
09:08And I think that men and women of armed forces are fighting very hard to bring peace and stability to the country. And I can guarantee you, we will win.
09:25Over for you.
09:26Over for you.
09:27Over for you.
09:28Over for you.
09:29That's all I can promise at this stage. That I have your request. Then have your songs with me. Thank you very much.
09:47Thank you very much.
09:48Thank you very much.
