Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has publicly rejected reports that she was appointed to the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council, saying she is staying out of politics. Her name appeared on a list of entertainers under the party’s Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate that was released ahead of the 2027 elections.
Abraham addressed the claim in an Instagram Story, stating: “I’m not a member of any campaign council. I have said it recently. I am staying out of politics. Please disregard the supposed inclusion of my name in any campaign committee.” She asked the public to ignore the alleged appointment.
The campaign council list was issued by the Kadri Obafemi Hamzat Media Centre and is slated for formal inauguration on Friday, 18 September, at the APC Secretariat on ACME Road, Ikeja. The Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate named Toke Benson‑Awoyinka as Director, veteran actor Jide Kosoko as Co‑Director, actress Eniola Badmus as Deputy Director, Akeem Alimi (Ajala Jalingo) as Secretary, and Dare Olateju as Assistant Secretary.
