Why I rejected APC campaign council role — Toyin Abraham

Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a campaign council, listing numerous politicians and entertainers as members. However, renowned actress Toyin Abraham has distanced herself from the council after being mistakenly included in its Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate. Abraham emphasized her stance, stating she is "staying out of politics" and has previously made clear her disinterest in political campaigns.

Despite the online harassment, Abraham has maintained her stance, publicly rejecting any involvement with political campaigning.
