As the 2027 elections draw closer, political discussions are expected to intensify, with Nigerians assessing the performance of the current administration and debating whether to support the government or consider alternative presidential candidates. Such conversations have increasingly sparked disagreements among citizens.
On Thursday, October 15, Dakolo took to X to urge Nigerians not to make enemies over politicians, noting that political figures often switch allegiances and maintain friendships despite their differences in political views and governance.
However, reacting in a video shared online, Klinton Cod strongly disagreed with the singer’s position, arguing that Nigerians have legitimate reasons to be angry over the state of governance in the country.
The comedian said that, if curses worked, he would have wished leprosy on the hands Dakolo used to type his post. He argued that Nigerians were struggling against a government and its representatives whom he accused of contributing to their hardship through poor governance, questioning why citizens should be expected to remain civil amid such circumstances.
Klinton Cod also suggested that Dakolo’s family living abroad meant the singer might not fully understand the severity of the challenges Nigerians face daily.
To buttress his argument, the comedian recounted the circumstances surrounding his mother’s death in Warri, Delta State, in 2021. According to him, his mother suffered a blood clot and was rushed to a hospital but was turned away because no doctor was available to attend to her.
He said his mother died while she was being transported to another hospital in search of medical attention.
The comedian also referenced the recent accident involving British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua and his friends along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, questioning the lack of an ambulance to transport the injured to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Klinton Cod’s remarks have reignited the debate over political disagreements in Nigeria, with the contrasting positions highlighting the tension between calls for civility among citizens and growing frustration over governance, public services and the country’s healthcare system.
