Singer Timi Dakolo has dismissed claims that his recent call for Nigerians to 
stop making enemies because of politics had a political undertone.

 

On Thursday, Timi took to his X handle to urge Nigerians not to ruin personal relationships
over political disputes. He argued that while everyday supporters lose valuable 
bonds fighting for politicians, the leaders themselves often remain close friends
behind the scenes.

He was, however, slammed by online users who alleged that he made the comment because
he supports the ruling party, APC, and had secured singing gigs for the 2027 election
campaign.

Responding to the online backlash, Timi released a video clarifying that he is not
the enemy. He recalled his shock at witnessing politicians—who openly attack each
other in public—acting cordially behind closed doors, hugging, sharing pleasantries,
and gisting.

 

According to him, these politicians deliberately divide the masses, manipulating
Nigerians into fighting one another instead of uniting against bad governance.

 

Timi concluded by emphasizing that he remains completely independent and is not 
affiliated with any political party.
