Renowned journalist Dele Momodu has responded to former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, after Fayose claimed that northerners with multiple wives and many children are causing problems for Bola Tinubu.
Momodu’s reply, delivered via his verified X handle, challenges Fayose’s statements and shifts the focus to the actions of politicians themselves.
“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 asked. This pointed question highlights the extravagant spending of politicians compared to the modest lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Momodu didn’t stop there. He further questioned, “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 every one of us?” By drawing attention to the hard-working rural farmers who sustain the nation, Momodu contrasts their contribution with the often-corrupt activities of political leaders.
Concluding his message, Momodu called for collective accountability: “Your Excellency, my dear Brother, please, let’s all accept that we’ve failed this country and we need urgent reset.” His statement serves as a plea for political leaders to acknowledge their failures and work towards meaningful reform.
Momodu’s response has resonated with many Nigerians who are frustrated with the current political climate. His call for introspection and change highlights the urgent need for responsible governance and prioritization of the nation’s welfare over personal indulgence….Seē _ Morē
