Nollywood and Fuji music stars Jide Kosoko, Eniola Badmus and Toyin Abraham have been appointed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State Campaign Council, the party announced in a recent release.
The council is charged with steering the APC’s campaign strategy across Lagos State as the party prepares for forthcoming elections. Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub and a key battleground for the ruling party, regularly draws high‑profile support to bolster voter outreach.
Jide Kosoko is a veteran actor with a career spanning several decades in the Nigerian film industry, while Eniola Badmus and Toyin Abraham are both celebrated actresses known for their popular roles in Nollywood productions. Their inclusion reflects the APC’s effort to tap into the influence of entertainment figures.
The party’s list also mentions several other celebrities, though their names were not disclosed in the brief. The full roster is expected to be released in due course, highlighting the broader strategy of leveraging public personalities for political mobilisation.
Celebrity involvement in Nigerian politics has become increasingly common, with high‑profile figures often mobilising fans and followers to support party campaigns, especially in densely populated urban centres such as Lagos.
