Spyro criticizes clerics over silence on insecurity

Singer Spyro has called on religious leaders across the country to play a more active role in addressing insecurity and promoting civic awareness among their followers.

The singer said clerics should use their platforms to educate people on personal safety and regularly address security concerns during sermons.

He also said the need for religious leaders to guide their congregants on electoral matters and responsible citizenship.

Expressing disappointment over what he described as a lack of action from many faith leaders, Spyro argued that they have a responsibility to speak up on issues affecting the nation.

According to him:

“Nigerian religious leaders should speak up against insecurity. They should tell the people on how to secure themselves and include the issue of insecurity in their sermons. They should also give their congregants proper electoral orientations.

Unfortunately, they are not doing that because the more the country is spoiling, the more money they make.

Anywhere there is a crisis in a country, the people who benefit the most are religious leaders.

We should make sure we hold all our leaders, including clerics, accountable,” he said.
