The former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Sen. Shehu Sani has called on former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose to tender an apology to Northerners following his (Fayose’s) comments on people of the region.
Fayose had 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 had said in an interview on a Channels Television programme on Monday night.
