Timi Dakolo Publicly Calls Out President Tinubu’s Aide Over Alleged Unpaid Job

Singer Timi Dakolo has sparked reactions online after publicly addressing O’tega Ogra, Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Digital Media and Strategy, over an alleged unpaid job.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Dakolo wrote:

“Mr @otegaogra please pick your calls. I did my job.”

The singer did not reveal the nature of the work or the amount involved, but his brief message quickly caught the attention of fans and social media users. Many criticised the situation, emphasising that professionals and creatives deserve timely payment for their services, regardless of who the client is. Others suggested that the issue might be due to miscommunication or delays rather than intentional non-payment.

Ogra responded by asserting that his professional record “is public and stands on its merits,” warning that turning what he described as an institutional matter into a personal dispute could result in “formal correction and appropriate professional and legal redress.”

The exchange has sparked broader discussions about accountability and fair treatment for professionals working with public officials, with many urging transparency and prompt resolution of such matters.
