Apologize to Northerners over ‘many children statement’ – Shehu Sani to Fayose



The former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Shehu Sani has urged former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose to tender an apology to Northerners following his comments on people of the region.

 

Fayose had in an interview on a Channels Television programme on Monday night stirred the hornet’s nest when he said the failure of the federal government to develop Nigeria was because northerners were marrying multiple wives and having many children indiscriminately thereby constituting a huge problem for Nigeria and a burden on the government.

 

“The reason why it is difficult for Tinubu to develop Nigeria is because Northerners are giving birth to children they can’t cater for,” Fayose said.

 

Reacting in a post on his official X handle on Tuesday, the former lawmaker said Fayose’s statement was not palatable.

 

“Even though Fayose spoke as an individual, his reported statement on Northerners is contemptuous and unconscionable.

 

“I suggest he should humbly withdraw it and tender an apology as a statesman”, Sani stated.
