During an interview on Channels TV on Monday, July 29, 2024, Fayose while responding to the economic hardship in the country, said that men having many wives and children are to blame for the country’s growth.
Sharing an encounter he had when he visited the north, Fayose stated that a security guard told him he had worked there for over 20 years and was earning a very low income.
When the former Governor pressed about his family, he was stunned to hear from the man that 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.”
In response to Fayose’s comment, Momodu asked him that between the poor man with many wives or a ‘Nigerian politician with several girlfriends who waste public resources on extravagant lifestyles including private jets,’ who is more destructive to the nation.
Taking to his social media page, Momodu 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 an urgent reset. We cannot afford the blame games at this perilous time… May God forgive our transgressions…
Warmest regards always…”
