Actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham clarified that her rejection of the Lagos APC Campaign Council was not due to bullying. On Friday, she took to X to share her feelings about the situation, saying she was surprised to see her name on a list she didn’t know about.
“I didn’t decline because of any bullying. I did it because it was the right thing to do. I woke up and saw my name on a list I knew absolutely nothing about. Moreover, I’ve already stated—I’m not interested in politics,” she wrote.
This statement comes after her earlier denial on Thursday, when her name appeared in the All Progressives Congress Lagos State Campaign Council list released by the Kadri Obafemi Hamzat Media Centre. Abraham was listed under the Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate, alongside notable figures such as Eniola Badmus, Bimbo Akintola, Jide Kosoko, Pasuma, Obesere, and Adewale Ayuba, ahead of the council’s inauguration scheduled for Friday, September 18, at the APC Secretariat on ACME Road in Ikeja.
In an Instagram Story on Thursday, she clarified, “I am not a member of any campaign council. I have said this recently. I am staying out of politics.”
