Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has called out the All Progressives Congress for using his song at their presidential primary without his permission.
Dakolo’s hit song, Great Nation, was played at a point during the presidential primaries of the ruling party on Tuesday.
Punch Metro recalls that Dakolo was under fire for performing the song at the presidential declaration ceremony of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, nack in March.

He tweeted, “Why Use an Artist’s Song without their permission in a rally or campaign. The things people get away with in this country called Nigeria. Actually, this is the second time.”
