Singer Timi Dakolo has replied those criticizing him for singing at Atiku Abubakar’s declaration for president.

Atiku’s presidential declaration event took place at Abuja International conference center, Thursday afternoon.

Dakolo sang his hit song ‘Great Nation’, which has since stirred reactions on social media.

Some Nigerians attributed his performance at Atiku’s ceremony to endorsing the PDP presidential candidate despite his criticism about the state of the nation a few days ago.

They called him out for seeking daily bread without considering if the ‘old leaders’ would return to power in 2023.

Timi Dakolo, responding, said he will sing and collect bread.

He urged those pained about his performance to go ahead and sing theirs.
