Spyro urges men of God to speak up

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, aka Spyro, took to social media to urge men of God to speak about the End Bad Governance protest.

On August 1, 2024, the Who’s Your Guy crooner took to his official Instagram page to share a post in which he used the Bible to support his point about religious leaders speaking for the people.

According to Spyro, this was not the time for prayers because they needed action. The singer said that in the days of the bible, God used men of God as tools to challenge bad government.
