Toyin Abraham: I Didn’t Reject APC Council List Because Of Trolls

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Toyin Abraham has explained that her decision to reject her reported inclusion in the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council was not influenced by online bullying.

Abraham made the clarification on X on Friday while responding to a comment suggesting that her decision could protect her from further attacks by social media critics.

The actress said her decision was based on the fact that she had not been consulted before her name appeared on the campaign council list. She also reiterated that she had previously stated that she was not interested in politics.

According to Abraham, she woke up to discover her name on a list she knew nothing about and therefore decided to distance herself from the reported appointment.

Her clarification followed her earlier statement on Instagram on Thursday after the Lagos APC campaign council list was released.

Abraham had said she was not a member of any campaign council and asked the public to disregard the reported inclusion of her name in any campaign committee.

Her name had appeared under the Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate alongside several entertainers, including Jide Kosoko, Eniola Badmus and Bimbo Akintola.

The directorate lists Toke Benson-Awoyinka as Director, Jide Kosoko as Co-Director and Eniola Badmus as Deputy Director.

The campaign council was unveiled ahead of its scheduled inauguration on September 18 at the APC Secretariat on ACME Road, Ikeja.

Despite Abraham’s public rejection of the reported inclusion, her name remained on the published campaign council document at the time of reporting.
