FAYOSE'S UTTERANCES IS DIVISIVE, HE MUST SPEAK AND ACT AS A STATEMAN - Mallam Rabiu Bako

The notion by the former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose that the North is accumulating more problems for the President by marrying more wives and producing even more children is unfortunate. 

It is with deep knowledge of the Nigerian setting that I maintain that Fayose is the one generating problems for the President right now because following the current state of Nigeria (economically and politically), the least to be on the president's plate is divisive comments. As a public figure, a person must be very careful with the words and messages he/she delivers. We need to try to avoid triggers.

Ordinarily, I have been opportuned to work as a journalist in the Southwestern states of Oyo, Ogun, Ondo and Bendel States as a Chief Correspondent Of Radio Nigeria Kaduna with Office at Radio Oyo Ele Akade...
I am certain, following my knowledge of the terrain that Northerners are not the only ones marrying many wives and of course, the north are not known for marrying out of wedlock. The  Westerners also marry more than one wife but the difference is that they keep them apart and mostly do not make it known to the women that they have co- wives and other children which is not a decent thing to do. As a responsible man, one would rather live in his truth than in deceit. I must repeat that Fayose must not be taken serious because he is one who talks way too much, wisdom should be applied when talking as the saying goes “but the lips of the wise would protect them”. 

Westerners live in the north and vice versa, so someone shouldn't come on national television to sow a seed of discord. We should try as much as we can to build up our nation and not intentionally tear it down with our personal thoughts and biased truth. Nigeria is a complex society because of the presence of diverse tribes and religions, the best way to make this type of society become greater is by applying wisdom and thoughtful decisions by members of this society especially public figures.

I encourage all Nigerians that we desist from making divisive utterances in the midst of economic challenges and instead we come together in unity and make our country great.
