“You should have said this before your movie” ~ Netizens drag Actress Toyin Abraham for supporting Tinubu

Nigerian actress Toyin Abraham is currently facing backlash from social media users after defending All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu. During a live video with fellow actress Kemi Afolabi, Toyin Abraham was called out for her support and defense of Tinubu, which angered Afolabi.

The exchange between the two actresses did not involve any insults, but Afolabi expressed her frustration over the state of Nigeria, citing issues such as the End SARS protests, fuel scarcity, poor infrastructure, and the lack of social amenities for the less privileged. She also shared her personal experiences of needing medical treatment and having to go to a public hospital.

However, it was Toyin Abraham's defense of Tinubu that seemed to have irked many Nigerians. Tinubu has been a controversial figure in Nigerian politics, with some accusing him of corruption and mismanagement of public funds.

The backlash against Toyin Abraham highlights the importance of public figures being mindful of the messages they convey and the people they align themselves with. As celebrities with large followings, their actions and words carry weight and can influence public opinion.

It is crucial for individuals in positions of power and influence to use their platforms to promote positive change and progress, especially in a country like Nigeria that is grappling with numerous challenges. As the nation prepares for the next election cycle, it is important for citizens to hold their leaders accountable and demand transparency and accountability in governance.
