His tweet reads;

Dear @inecnigeria, it is beginning to look like an intentional act to frustrate people who want to get their PVCs.
Over 500 people coming to get their PVCs and you only have 1 computer to attend to everyone.
People are complaining that they had to pay to speed up the process.

Timi Dakolo slams APC for playing his song

Few weeks ago, Dakolo called out the All Progressives Congress, APC, for using one of his songs during their national convention in Abuja without asking for his consent.

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

The artiste performed same song during Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s declaration to run for the 2023 presidential election.

He at the time tweeted;

Why Use an Artist 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.
