Sh*cking Allegation: Remi Surutu Reveals What People Said About Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Nollywood actress Remilekun Oshodi has spoken about the backlash she faced online after publicly supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the 2023 election campaign.

Speaking at the official launch of EKO57, a Lagos-based support group backing Tinubu’s political movement, the actress said she was heavily criticised on social media during the campaign period, with some trolls even linking the death of her daughter to her political support.

Despite the attacks, Surutu said she remains undeterred and is willing to campaign for Tinubu again. According to her, she is not afraid of criticism and challenged those who oppose the President to present someone from their own family capable of governing the country.

She recalled that during the election period, some online critics insulted her and alleged that the politician she supported was responsible for her personal loss. However, she said such comments did not stop her from exercising her civic duty.

According to the actress, she still went out to vote because she believes that voting is a fundamental right that should not be influenced by intimidation or public pressure.

Surutu maintained that she has no intention of withdrawing her support, stressing that she will continue to campaign for Tinubu and cast her vote for him whenever the opportunity arises.

The veteran actress also used the occasion to speak about the realities of politics, noting that some individuals often claim loyalty during campaigns but later abandon their positions. She advised people to remain clear about their political choices and personal convictions.

She further expressed the belief that the President has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to manage national challenges, adding that many citizens may not fully understand the pressures and responsibilities associated with leadership.
