Seun Kuti, son of legendary Nigerian singer, late Fela Anikulapo Kuti, has reacted to the ongoing probe of former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged ₦80.2 billion fraud.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Seun Kuti, who did the mathematics of how long it will take to spend ₦80 billion if ₦1 million is spent per day, hinted that nobody steals ₦80 billion because they need it.
He said: "They said Yahaya Bello has stolen ₦80 billion. Let's go into the mathematics of what ₦80 billion is. ₦8 billion is 8, 000 millions. ₦80 billion is 80, 000 millions. Meaning somebody with ₦80 billion can spend ₦1 million a day for 80,000 days. I want to know who needs this kind of money? Is it that you need it?
So now, ₦1 million a day for 80,000 days. 80,000 days is 261 years (219 years actually). 80,000 days is 219 years of spending ₦1 million everyday. Are you telling me that this person needs this money or this person just want to make sure that that money is not used for the betterment of your life."
