Actress and director Toyin Abraham has revealed that her open support for President Bola Tinubu during the last election negatively impacted her career.
Abraham made this revelation while advising actor Timini Egbuson on strategies to boost his movie's box office performance.
She said, “The first advice I will give you in my entire life is, don’t put your mouth in politics. Don’t tell them you’re supporting anybody. Don’t support anybody, just be on your own. Be neutral.”

When Timini brought up her past endorsement of Tinubu, Toyin Abraham brushed it off, saying "That was then."
She then acknowledged the backlash, exclaiming, "Haaaaaaa, it affected me oooo" as she revealed how it hurt her career.
Recall that the actress faced criticism and alleged piracy of her 2023 movie 'Malaika' on WhatsApp, with some netizens vowing not to watch her films due to her political stance.
Toyin had previously lamented poor reviews of "Malaika", saying, "You all will tell the world why choosing my own candidate is a crime and yours is not."
