Popular Nollywood actress known as Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi has sparked outrage after declaring her “love” for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Toyin as saying she loves Tinubu and that she might vote for him in the 2023 elections because of the things he has done but that she is undecided.
In an interview on ‘Your View’, a popular talk show on TVC, the filmmaker said: “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. I’m not gonna use my own interest to lead others.
“He has been a wonderful man to my people. 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”.
However, her position has generated several reactions on social media.
Reacting on Twitter, SPACE (D12) @mertromat wrote: “She is voting him, but can’t openly declare her decision because of the headless mob”.
It's evident, the sons and daughters of perdition will bombard her so she tacitly answered the question, awon omo ofo po ni ori ikanni yi
