Ace journalist cum politician, Dele Momodul, has taken a swipe at a former governor of Ekiti  State, Ayo Fayose after he stated that poor men having multiple wives and children is a hindrance to Nigeria’s growth.

Fayose in an interview with Channels TV on Monday, claimed that poor men having many wives and children, citing his experiences in the North, is a problem to Nigeria’s growth.

Responding to these comments, Momodu questioned who was more destructive to the nation, the poor man with plenty of wives and children, or the politician with one wife and many high-maintenance girlfriends, who wastes public resources on extravagant lifestyles.

He also asked who is more productive, the politicians and the poor in society, challenging the notion that the latter group is less productive.

Momodu urged Fayose to acknowledge that they have all failed the country and need an urgent reset, rather than engaging in blame games.

He 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 waste public resources on extravagant lifestyles including private jets?

“May God forgive our transgressions…

Warmest regards always, CHIEF DELE MOMODU”
