Seun Kuti berates wives of politicians for not divorcing their ‘corrupt’ husbands
Grammy-nominated afrobeat artist Seun Kuti has criticized Nigerian politicians’ wives for not filing for divorce despite their husbands’ ongoing embezzlement of public cash.
He bemoaned the fact that Nigerian politicians steal out of avarice and questioned how their spouses can love them despite this.
Speaking in a recent Instagram live session, Kuti said: “You cannot see any Nigerian woman divorce a Nigerian politician for stealing from the country. Can you love a thief? Somebody that is blatantly stealing, not because he lacks anything. I can understand if he was hungry and he went out to steal to provide for his family. But these politicians are wealthy and are still ruining the lives of millions of people because of their greed. Yet, you can’t hear that their wives are seeking divorce.
“Even if you are poor, regardless of how bad your situation is, to hurt somebody else just to eat is completely wrong.”
