Femi Fani-Kayode reacted to the statement made by Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir EL-RUFAI said that Northerners are generally considered to be more honest and less corrupt than other Nigerians.
"We Northerners are generally considered to be more honest and less corrupt than other Nigerians."
Femi Fani-Kayode opposed that statement by with these following points;
"This is false. The truth is that Northerners are perceived to be more corrupt than southerners and Middle Belters.
The ethos of hard work, honesty, prudence, fiscal discipline and transparency is alien to the feudal North.
To the Northerner, Government and access to Government funds is everything. Without access to such funds they would perish.
Southerners and Middle Belters do not need to steal Government money to survive and neither are they fatalists.
They work hard for their money and they dream big knowing that the harder they work the further they are likely to go.
Unlike Southern and Middle Belt leaders, Northern leaders have always found it difficult to make a distinction between private funds and public funds. To the Northern leader the two are one and the same."
