Fani-Kayode states why South should be blamed for Nigeria’s problems

Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has stated why he thinks Southerners should be blamed for the many problems plaguing Nigeria instead of the belief in some quarters that the blame should be heaped on Northerners.

The chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took to his official Twtter page on Tuesday to explain why Southerners should be blamed for the underdevelopment of Nigeria saying the region is divided with weak and cowardly leaders who put the interest of the country before that of the region.

Explaining further in his post on Twitter, Fani-Kayode said that Northern leaders are united, courageous and strong and put the interests of the region before that of the country in general.
