“Make Dem Do Better for Us” – Spyro Pleads with Politicians Over Hardship in Nigeria During APC Grand Reception
Afrobeats sensation Spyro (real name Oludipe Oluwasanmi David) used his platform this weekend to speak truth to power, as he called on Nigeria’s political leaders to take responsibility and act on the growing hardship across the country.
While performing at the grand reception ceremony in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, organized to welcome Governor Umo Eno into the All Progressives Congress (APC), Spyro seized a rare moment in front of top political figures to voice the pain of ordinary Nigerians.
“Shoutout to His Excellency the Governor. I heard about the good things you’re doing in the state and we are proud,” he began.
“But I’m hoping other leaders here can take lessons from him and do better for us, because things no easy for the country.”
⚠️ A Cry for Help in a Room Full of Power
Spyro’s words echoed through a high-powered room that included Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and over 24 APC governors.
In an era where many artists shy away from politics out of fear of backlash or career implications, Spyro’s statement—delivered with humility but pierced with urgency—felt like a rare, genuine moment.
🗣️ Our Take: The Microphone Can Speak More Than Music
Spyro reminded us that artists are more than entertainers—they are mirrors of the people’s pain, and sometimes, the only ones with enough platform to say what others are afraid to.
In a country where inflation is biting, fuel prices keep soaring, and insecurity continues to displace families, what better moment to speak than when the room is filled with the nation’s decision-makers?
His plea may not have lasted more than a few seconds—but it carried the weight of millions of unheard voices.
💬 What do you think of Spyro’s boldness? Do you believe artists should speak out more at political events, or is it too risky? Let’s talk in the comments.
