Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has said he has no apology to offer anyone over his comment on how people have contributed to hardship in the land through their lifestyle.
In a statement on his X formerly Twitter handle Fayose said: “I have no reasons to say derogatory things about anyone, not even the North, not the South. What I said was very clear.
“I said I visited a State in the North, I didn’t mention the State. And I gave an illustration that I got talking to a Gateman who said to me that he had four wives and 16 children.
“And I said what can the government do about such a person? What can government do about a Gateman with four wives and 16 children?
“That illustration is not about the North, it could be anyone in the Southwest, Southeast or South-South.
“Some people are saying I should apologize, and I want to state that I have no apology because I have not offended anyone.
“My point is, the nation needs to address the issue of its population, either North, South or anywhere. It is regrettable that people like to pervert the truth and quote others out of context.
“Majority of those who have reacted to that interview did not even watch it, they didn’t also bother to see the video.
“Therefore, I can’t be bothered about the anger of anyone. I have no reasons to be derogatory about anyone, any region or group.
