Top Pro-Tinubu Actress Vows Not To Talk Again After Public Backlash
Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham has promised to keep her political choices private after a series of exchanges on social media platform known as X on Tuesday upon her support for President Bola Tinubu
The actress during the exchange addressed questions about her support for President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general election.
The online interaction began when an X user, Otunba (@ManLikeIcey), asked Toyin Abraham to share the plans that Tinubu had discussed with her during the campaign.
He wrote, “Maybe one day Toyin Abraham will divulge the plans Bola Tinubu shared with her to the public. I strongly believe we deserve to hear. Thank you @toyin_abraham1.”
In response, Abraham revealed that she had been assured by Tinubu’s camp of “good governance and happiness for everyone.
“You asked me in a polite way so I will definitely answer you. Of course, I was told and promised good governance and happiness for everyone, which I believe.”
Toyin Abraham further expressed concern over the potential backlash if the promises made by Tinubu did not materialize.
“If things didn’t go well, why do I have to be the one to suffer for it? I remember I voted for (ex-president) Jonathan and I was bullied, but I didn’t put blame on anyone after everyone chose (ex-president) Buhari. So please, why would they be cursing and trolling me every time,” she implored.
When further questioned by Otunba on whether she believed Tinubu had failed in governance, Abraham responded by emphasizing her decision to focus on her personal life and career.
“Thank you for your prompt response. Do you believe he has failed at the moment in governance or not?,” Otunba question.
Abraham replied, “I have faced my life and career because I am not a politician and I’m not in government, I have learnt my lesson never ever to be open with my choice again.”
In 2023, Abraham had publicly endorsed Tinubu, saying the former Lagos governor “has been a wonderful man to my people.”
“I love Asiwaju and I’m speaking about myself. I love him. And I’ll vote for him because I love him. Although I’ve not decided, I’m just telling you. And because of the things he has done for my industry,” she said.
Her choice of candidate, however, led to criticism and backlash from some Nigerians on social media.
