Timi Dakolo calls out APC for playing his song “Great Nation” without permission during presidential primaries

Timi Dakolo, a Nigerian music star, has chastised the All Progressives Congress, APC, for using one of his songs during their national convention in Abuja on Tuesday without his permission.

Timi Dakolo’s hit song, ‘Great Nation,’ was played at the APC presidential primaries on Tuesday, when members of the Nigerian entertainment industry appeared on stage as Ambassadors of Voice for Change to lend their voices to the country’s call for peace and unity.

The ruling party invited the group, which included veteran actors such as Zack Orji, Gentle Giant, and others, as they joined the call for Nigerian unity.

Dakolo, on the other hand, took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to claim that he was not consulted before his song was used at the event.

The same song was performed during Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s declaration to run for president in 2023.

“Why use an artist’s song in a rally or campaign without permission?” What people get away with in this country known as Nigeria. This is actually the second time,” he tweeted.

The APC presidential primary is still taking place in Abuja’s Eagles Square.
