In the general election of 2027, Remi Surutu, an actress from Nollywood, will be voting for President Bola Tinubu.
The statement was delivered at the inauguration of EKO57, an organization that would work to garner popular support for Tinubu’s reelection.
While addressing those who have questioned her position, Surutu emphasised her unwavering allegiance to Tinubu, which she has maintained during his time as governor of Lagos State, at the ceremony.
Surutu reflected on the 2023 elections and how she endured public criticism while remaining unwavering.
Some individuals tried to persuade me the day before the election that I was backing the candidate who was responsible for the death of my child. I choose to disregard it and cast my ballot the following day nonetheless. “Do not be intimidated; your vote is your right,” she emphasised.
The actress stated her unwavering support for the president and pledged to continue her active campaigning and voting for him.
I will support him and he has my vote. “I am not afraid,” she added, adding that anyone trying to intimidate people or deter them from supporting him should know that.
Surutu lauded Tinubu for his modest handling of the country’s problems and emphasised Tinubu’s commitment to governance.
She remarked, “This man does not sleep,” in reference to Tinubu’s and his family’s ceaseless efforts. As military personnel, his wife and son are always on the go. Just how many political families are involved in this?
She further attributed some of the country’s issues to Nigerians’ own attitudes while emphasizing her confidence in Tinubu’s ability to lead effectively.
