We Need Urgent Reset – Dele Momodu Blasts Fayose Over Claims That Northerners Are Causing Problems For Tinubu

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has strongly condemned a recent statement by the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, regarding marriage practices in Northern Nigeria.

Naija News reports that Fayose, an ally of President Bola Tinubu, had suggested that the practice of marrying multiple wives and having many children is a significant issue contributing to Nigeria’s population crisis.

Fayose made these comments during an interview on Channels TV, where he claimed that Tinubu’s inability to address economic hardship was due to  “indiscriminate” childbearing and marriage in the North.

Reacting via his X handle on Tuesday, Dele Momodu berated Fayose over the statement, stating that the country cannot afford the blame game at this critical time.

He said, “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? 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 childten 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…”
