Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has declared her support for Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

During an interview with TVC, the actress who recently released her ‘Ijakumo’ movie, said “I love Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu), I might vote for him because I love him, I have not decided yet but I am just telling you”.

When asked if she would ever cast her vote for a price, the actress responded saying “God Forbid”.

She said her yet-to-be-made decision is based on Mr Tinubu’s support towards her industry and colleagues.

“Because of the things he has done for my industry, 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,” she said.

However, the ‘Ghost and the Tout’ star said that her affection for the APC candidate won’t make her “use my own interest to lead others” to vote for Mr Tinubu.
