Timi Dakolo Slams APC For Using His Song At The Presidential Primary Without Permission.
Timi Dakolo has chastised the All Progressives Congress (APC) for utilizing his music without his consent during their presidential primary.
This comes only weeks after he was chastised for performing his well-known song “Great Nation” at Atiku Abubakar’s declaration for the president in 2023.
Nigerians attacked the musician on Twitter for performing at Abubakar’s official declaration ceremony, where he announces his candidacy for the upcoming presidential election in Nigeria.
This “call to cancel” started later in the day on the 23rd of March 2022 and placed Timi Dakolo on Twitter trend tables when a Twitter user @olaolu_thaniel made a public announcement that Timi Dakolo was performing in Abuja International Conference Centre “endorsing Atiku”.
Timi Dakolo then replied to the tweet, saying, “I will sing and collect bread my guy, if it pains you well well, go sing your own…” ending the tweet with a laughing emoji.
Recently, Timi Dakolo’s song “Great Nation” was played last night at the APC’s special convention to elect the party’s presidential flagbearer for the 2023 general elections as Nollywood actors were introduced on stage at the convention grounds.
Dakolo who disclosed that people get away with many things in Nigeria, further revealed that this is the second time it is happening.
