‘I was bullied into supporting Tinubu’ – Actress Bimbo Akintola
Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola has opened up about the reason behind her unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The movie star, who supported Tinubu during the last election, explained that she increased her support for the then-APC candidate because an opposition supporter bullied her over her choice of Tinubu.
She claimed that her increased support for Tinubu was to spite her bully.
Speaking in a recent episode of With Chude, Akintola urged Nigerians to respect other people’s political choices and opinions.
“I supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election because somebody annoyed me with their bullying.
“Nigerians are annoying. Don’t bully other people. We have our rights to differences of opinion. You don’t like this man [Tinubu], cool, you have the right not to like him. You prefer this person, good for you. But don’t bully others.
“They bullied aunty Joke [Silva] to the point that someone wrote something that was so inhumane. So, I made a video and said, ‘I’m also supporting Tinubu, kill me, let me see if you can change my mind.’
