Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has rejected her inclusion in the Lagos State APC Campaign Council. This comes after her name appeared among entertainment personalities on the list, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Urging members of the public to disregard her reported appointment, Toyin stressed that she has already made her position clear about staying away from politics.
The filmmaker concluded by emphasizing that she has no intention of joining any party’s campaign committee.
Her words, “I’m not a member of any campaign council. I have said it recently, I am staying out of politics.”
Abraham started acting in 2003 when Nigerian actress Bukky Wright came to Ibadan to shoot a movie. Abraham has made, directed, and starred in several Nigerian films including Alani Baba Labake, Ijakumo: The Born Again Stripper and Ebimi ni.
During the 2013 Best of Nollywood Awards, Abraham was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Yoruba film titled Ebimi ni, alongside Joke Muyiwa, who was nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Yoruba film titled Ayitale Abraham also starred in the movie, Black Val.
In July 2019, Abraham married fellow Nollywood actor Kolawole Ajeyemi in a traditional wedding ceremony. The couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Ire, in August 2019.
In early 2026, Toyin Abraham’s directorial debut film, Oversabi Aunty, grossed over ₦1 billion at the West African box office, making it one of the highest earning Nollywood films of all time and a milestone for her directing career.
