Tinubu aide threatens legal action against Timi Dakolo over social media dispute

O’tega Ogra responds to Timi Dakolo’s social media call-out

President Bola Tinubu’s aide, O’tega Ogra, has issued a strong warning to popular Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo following the musician’s public call-out on social media. The dispute began when Dakolo accused O’tega of ignoring his phone calls, a claim that has since sparked tension between the two figures.

The confrontation unfolded on X (formerly Twitter), where Dakolo posted his grievances, prompting a firm response from O’tega Ogra.

O’tega Ogra vows legal action if issue is personalized further

In his reply, O’tega Ogra described the matter as an “institutional issue” rather than a personal one. He accused Dakolo of personalizing the situation and warned that any further attempts to do so would result in formal legal action.

He stated, “I see and have noted the commentary. I will not engage in explication where none is required. My record is public and stands on its merits.

“Any further attempt to personalise a clearly institutional matter will be met with formal correction and the appropriate professional and legal redress.”

Background to the dispute between O’tega and Dakolo

The disagreement began when Timi Dakolo publicly called out O’tega Ogra on X, expressing frustration that his calls were being ignored. Dakolo, known for using his platform to speak on social and political issues, did not elaborate on the purpose of his calls but made his dissatisfaction clear to his followers.

O’tega’s stern response highlights the sensitivity around their interaction and signals a potential escalation if the dispute is not resolved amicably.

Possible implications of the legal threat

The warning from O’tega Ogra could lead to legal proceedings if Timi Dakolo continues to raise the issue publicly. This development adds another layer to ongoing tensions between public figures and their critics on social media platforms in Nigeria.

Observers and fans of both personalities are watching closely to see if the dispute will be settled privately or escalate into a formal legal battle.

What this means for public discourse in Nigeria

This incident reflects a broader trend where disagreements between public officials and celebrities can quickly become legal matters. It raises questions about freedom of expression, social media accountability, and how public figures handle criticism in the digital age.

As the situation develops, it will be important to monitor how both parties navigate this conflict and whether dialogue or legal action will prevail.
