Amidst the ongoing economic challenges in Nigeria, popular actress Toyin Abraham has been facing heavy criticism for her vocal support of presidential hopeful Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2023 elections. Every social media post made by the actress is met with harsh backlash and insults from fans and followers.
In response to the negative reactions, Abraham expressed her awareness of the pain felt by the people, stating, “Unexplainable, but God will see us all through. It is people’s pain that is getting to me.”
Furthermore, the actress attributed the bad reviews of her movie, ‘Ijakumo, the Born-Again Stripper,’ to political opposition. Despite initially lashing out, she later apologized for her reaction and encouraged critics to share their opinions with love.
Despite the ongoing criticisms, some supporters have come to Abraham’s defense, pointing out the unfair treatment she is receiving. The actress also announced a partnership with the brand Smallyfares to organize a weekly food bank event in Ikeja, Lagos State.
The intense scrutiny and backlash faced by Toyin Abraham highlight the complexities of mixing politics with entertainment and the impact it can have on public perception.
