RIPPLES NIGERIA
Veteran journalist and publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu has called out former Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose over his comments about northerners.
Fayose had contended the failure of the federal government to develop Nigeria was because northerners were marrying multiple wives and having many children indiscriminately thereby constituting a huge problem for Nigeria and a burden on the government.
Fayose who made the comment in an interview programme with Channels Television on Monday night, said Nigerians should not embark on the planned #EndBadGovernance protests as the hunger in the country did not start under Tinubu but as a result of the huge population from the north.
“The reason why it is difficult for Tinubu to develop Nigeria is because Northerners are giving birth to children they can’t cater for,” Fayose had said, among other things.
But in a post on X on Tuesday, Momodu said Fayose had spoken out of turn and should caution himself.
“My dear Brother AYO FAYOSE, I have just two questions Sir: who is more destructive to the nation, the poor man with plenty wives and children or the politician with one wife and many high maintenance girlfriends, who waste public resources on extravagant lifestyles including private jets?” Momodu said.
“Who is more productive, the politician who steals the sweats and resources of the citizens or the poor man who sends his many poor wives and children to the farmlands to grow crops for everyone of us!!!”
“Your Excellency, my dear Brother, please, let’s all accept that we’ve failed this country and we need urgent reset.
“We cannot afford the blame games at this perilous time… May God forgive our transgressions… Warmest regards always…” CHIEF DELE MOMODU…
