I won't thank saraki because its the money that was meant for the poor that he has been stealing that he gave the woman.

Seriously, are they saying that Yekini didn't make enough money or he mismanaged his money? This was a guy that played in foreign countries and clubs including Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, and Saudi Arabia, and earned good stipends from Nigeria government during his playing days.
