Toyin Abraham and her love for BAT
Weeks ago, the actress, in an interview with TVC, declared her love and support for Tinubu and suggested that she might be voting for the candidate in the forthcoming elections.
She also clarified that the decision on who to vote for is solely hers and not an attempt to cajole anyone into voting for her preferred candidate.
It appears that many netizens didn't get this memo, as they have heavily criticised the actress.
The continuous backlash
Pulse reported that the actress even had to refute some death conspiracies that surfaced after her declaration.
She wrote that there is no longer a democracy if people can't speak freely.
In her words, “It is no more Democracy if you don’t allow people to make their decision freely. Everyone can not see things from their angle only. Bullying, harassing and threatening people’s lives because they disagree with you on personal choice shouldn’t be encouraged. Why would anyone put this out there? Why? Why should anyone wish others bad because they made a different choice? Why?”
Other people and celebrities have also shown solidarity with the actress, urging her to be strong and not to fret.
