Timi Dakolo calls out APC for using his song at the presidential primary without permission
Timi Dakolo, the Nigerian singer, has raised alarm over the use of his song ‘Great Nation’ at the presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The ruling party’s presidential primaries are underway at Eagle Square in Abuja.
During a solidarity appearance by a group of ace Nigerian entertainers, which included Shina Peters and Danfo Drivers, Dakolo’s song appeared to have been played as the musicians waved the Nigeria flag.

But reacting via a Twitter post, the 41-year-old singer wondered why his song will be used at the rally without his permission.
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.
