Afrobeats singer, Spyro claims that religious leaders are “benefiting the most” from Nigeria’s insecurity and economic hardship.
According to him, most religious leaders are not speaking up as much as they should because they benefit from the country’s dismal situation.
The ‘Who’s Your Guy’ hitmaker made the allegation during a recent interview with Wozabia FM Lagos, insisting that clergymen have a duty to stand up for the well-being of their congregations.
He also chided Nigerian clergymen for not giving their congregations proper electoral orientations.
“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 stated.
