Acress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has insisted that her rejection of the Lagos APC Campaign Council was not due to bullying.
The actress said on X on Friday that she woke up to see her name on a list she knew nothing about.
‘I didn’t do it because of any bully. 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 said it-I’m not interested in politics,’ she wrote.
This followed her earlier denial on Thursday after 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 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, Ikeja.
Reacting in an Instagram Story on Thursday, she had said:
‘I’m not a member of any campaign council. I have said it recently. I am staying out of politics. Please disregard the supposed inclusion of my name in any campaign committee’.
The directorate is headed by Lagos Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Toke Benson-Awoyinka, as Director, with Jide Kosoko as Co-Director and Eniola Badmus as Deputy Director.
