Timi Dakolo Exposes Politicians' Off-Camera Friendships

Timi Dakolo, a popular Nigerian singer, disclosed that he has witnessed politicians from different parties interacting amicably when not in the public eye. This revelation came after he faced backlash for a tweet advising Nigerians to avoid making enemies over politics.

In his tweet, Dakolo stated, “Stop making enemies because of politics.” He received mixed reactions, with some users labeling him a “hypocrite” for suggesting friendship with those perceived as oppressors. In response to the criticism, Dakolo emphasized that political loyalty often leads to division and conflict among supporters, while politicians themselves maintain friendly relations.

He recounted his surprise at seeing politicians hugging and discussing personal matters, urging Nigerians to recognize that these divisions serve the interests of politicians. Dakolo reiterated his non-affiliation with any political party and cautioned against the dangers of political disputes, which can escalate to violence.
