Toyin Abraham: I may vote for Tinubu because I love him

Toyin Abraham, the Nollywood actress, says she is likely to vote for Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). 

In an interview on ‘Your View’, a television talk show, the filmmaker said although she has not formally announced her choice of candidate, she added “I’ll vote for Tinubu because I love him.”

Toyin also said that the APC presidential candidate “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.

“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.”

Speaking on her recently released film ‘Ijakumo,’ the award-winning actress said the storyline originated from “my dream.

“I saw it in my dreams. I realised that a lot of dreams are relatable. It’s no true life event but I know it’s relatable. I know this is happening. But you know there is a difference between dreams and reality. There are things you’ll add and remove,” she said.
