Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Toyin Abraham, has received backlash online after meeting with the All Progressive Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.
This development comes amidst calls for supporters of other political parties should stop raining curses on her over the choice of her preferred presidential candidate.
Naija News reports that the talented actress, on Wednesday, took to her Instagram page to share photos of herself, Tinubu, and Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at an event.
Toyin Abraham revealed it was her first time meeting the former governor of Lagos State, stating he shared with her some of the ideas, vision, and strategy he would use to tackle the country’s challenges.
According to the actress, listening to Tinubu renewed her hope that she had made the right choice.
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!”
The post sparks mixed reactions from many netizens.

But your Tinubu baby is also a reasonable option either, maybe he is a good leader in his past regime (to you) but as it his now this man is not hale and hearty enough to be our president. I expect more from you MRS IJAKUMO… Remember what happened at the toll gate.. Make your Tinubu baby just recruit audience for you to watch your movies henceforth… mtchewwww”
