Former All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, Adamu Garba, has said that being a wife is better than bearing the title of female CBN governor.

The CEO of IPI Solutions Nigeria Limited made this known in reaction to backlash he received for supporting polygamy.

Adamu Garba took to Twitter a few days ago to express his desire to have more wives and children in addition to the ones he already has.

He tweeted: "My great grandparents are polygamist, I’m a proud polygamist, a proud product of polygamy. I don’t believe women are liabilities but assets. They work, they build, they support. I shall need more of them. I don’t believe children are liabilities either. I’ll have many insha Allah.

"My 2 sweet women work hard to compliment my efforts. They earn their monies as I do mine. They support me where I least expect. They are there for me & for the family such I could ever imagine. They gave me beautiful sweet children that strengthen my spirit. I shall have more.

"They bring more wealth, more stability & more blessings. They bring more comfort, more tranquility & more balance..They are my two horns against any challenges & my two wings with which I use to fly. Our children are the engine that keep me up & running. I shall have more".

He added: "A monogamous man is stingy to women & living a half-life. There is no pleasure in life greater than living with more than one woman and collectively building a life and a future with. Most of the so-called monogamists are illegal polygamist. It’s natural. We chose the legal way.

His post was met with criticism from Nigerians who marveled at his promotion of polygamy in a harsh economy.

In response, Adamu Garba tweeted:

"I don't know why my stand on polygamy became a source of concern particularly to unmarried ones. You are missing a golden opportunity from my admonition....ladies.

"Let me tell you, having a title of a WIFE is more important to you than even becoming a female CBN governor"
