Toyin Abraham
Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham, has been receiving attacks on social media for her decision to support Bola Tinubu to become Nigeria’s next president.
Nigeria’s presidential elections will take place on February 25, 2023, and Toyin is hoping Tinubu will win. But many social media users won’t allow her to have peace over who she supports.
In an Instagram post, she cautioned people to stop bullying her and others who support the All Progressive Congress presidential candidate.
She wrote, “Stop bullying people for their choices, Asiwaju baby.”
Toyin had earlier publicly explained her reasons for campaigning for Tinubu.
According to her, Tinubu has done so much for the entertainment industry.
She said, “I love Asiwaju and I’m speaking about myself. I love him, I might vote for him because I love him. I’ve not decided but I’m just saying it. And because of the things he has done for my industry.
“I’m not going to use my own selfish interest to lead others. He has been a wonderful man to my industry; he has been there for people and my industry. I am speaking from my own perspective. He is a good man. He has been there for people even when they had nothing. I am speaking for my own Oluwatoyin Abosede Dada Abraham-Ajeyemi.
Let people choose whoever they want to choose. I will not let people use the gender part of me. I will support anyone who supports everybody. Someone competent. I’m not going to jeopardise the future of our children because of gender part or because I have a colleague there,” Toyin Abraham added.
But people are not being tolerant of the choice she has made.
