Kolawole Ajeyemi, the husband of Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham, has distanced himself from her endorsement of APC politician Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The actress’s public chastisement for siding with her Yoruba film industry colleagues to support Tinubu is hardly breaking news.
Toyin Abraham recently shared photos from an event where she was present along with Tinubu and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State.
She said she had never seen Tinubu before, but after learning about his strategy for resolving the nation’s problems, she was certain she had chosen well.
She wrote: “For the first time, I met the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and he shared some of his Ideas, Visions and Strategy to solve the challenges before us, as a Nation. Listening to him indeed renewed my hope and reaffirmed why he is my choice. Jagaban is coming!”
As she vehemently endorsed Bola Tinubu, many of her supporters and coworkers have attacked her for being unresponsive to the screams of the populace.
In response to the call-out and foul language, her husband posted his thoughts on his Instagram page, making it clear that he had no input into Toyin’s choice.
“Good day everybody, it’s not like I asked anyone of you to vote for any candidate or campaigned for any party and the fact that my wife is supporting a specific party doesn’t mean that I’m supporting her. So, those of you laying curses on my children I rebuke it all and I wish you all the same. And I repeat I did not campaign for any candidate,’ he wrote.
