He revealed that he had faced many challenges throughout his career and managed to survive them somehow. When asked why he called the current President \"Bola,\" Atiku declined to disclose the answer, stating that it would be best for those interested to provide him with transport fare. At the residence, Atiku appeared more composed and focused on his mission and role in Nigeria. He criticized the corruption in his generation and discussed the economy with the reporter. The reporter then interviewed Ademola Adeleke, who expressed his disappointment in a dancing colleague's performance during a political campaign. Adeleke found the dance steps uninteresting and meaningless. Lastly, Dr. Godswill Akpabio discussed a serious issue on suicide and attempted suicide with the reporter.

The reporter expressed concern about the punitive measures and called for a more caring and supportive approach to mental health.",
