Fix The Country, The Hardship Is Too Much Instead Of Attacking Davido - Ruggedman To FG

Veteran Nigerian rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has appealed to the Tinubu-led Federal government to tackle the hardship in the country.

Ruggedman said the attack by government personnel and supporters on Nigeria musician, David Adeleke, aka Davido, for criticizing the shambled state of the nation’s economy was unnecessary.

Recall that Davido, at the Bid Homies House podcast, in the United States, condemned the way the federal government of President Bola Tinubu has been handling the country’s economy.

“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am not going to show the bad parts,” Davido said.

An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and a former Senior Special Assistant on Digital Communication to former President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, described Davido’s statement as unpatriotic.

“Selling out your country from foreign soil is so disappointing and unpatriotic. Public figures like Davido should know that. They should act and be seen as good ambassadors for Nigeria wherever they find themselves,” Bashir wrote on his X handle.

In Davido‘s defense on his X handle, on Monday, Ruggedman wrote, “Ok Davido has said what he said, moving forward the government should fix Nigeria so nobody will say such again. All this barking all over the place is not fixing the nation. The hardship is too much.”
