Dele Momodu asks Fayose an interesting question after the former governor berates a gateman with 4 wives and 16 children

Media personality, Dele Momodu, has tackled Ayo Fayose after the former Ekiti governor knocked a security man who is married to four wives and has sixteen children.

 

While speaking on Channels TV on Monday, July 29, Fayose was asked to speak on the economic hardship being experienced all over the country. In his response, Fayose claimed men having many wives and children, an experience he witnessed in the North, is a problem to Nigeria’s growth.

 

He said he visited a Northern state sometime back and a security guard told him he had worked there for over 20 years and was earning a meager salary. Fayose said he asked the man about his family and was shocked when the man told him he had four wives and sixteen children.

‘’I went to one state in the North. I was there for three days. In the course of my stay, I got familiar with people in that part of the government house that I stayed. The gateman told me he has been in government work for 26 years. When I asked what is your salary, he said the money is small and that it is N34, 000. I said how many children do you have and he said he has sixteen and four wives.

My brother! The problem is inside us for God’s sake. If someone is earning N34,000, what can government do with 17 children? We don’t want to be realistic. Another person said he has eight children and three wives and one of the wives is still expecting.

A lot has to be done by our people too”

His comment has received mixed reactions from many Nigerians.

 

Momodu while reacting to his comment asked the former government that between the poor man with many wives or a ‘Nigerian politician with several girlfriends who wastes public resources on extravagant lifestyles including private jet,’ who is more destructive to the nation.

 

Momodu in his reaction shared on his Instagram page, wrote;

 

“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 wastes 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 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…
