Actress, Foluke Daramola has not been discreet about her
support for President Muhammadu Buhari who was recently re-elected for a second
term in office.
Reacting to the views expressed by some, including actress
Georgina Onuoha, that celebrities should be non-partisan, Foluke said, “I am
first a Nigerian before being an actress, and we are all entitled to our
ideologies. It is very stupid and myopic for anybody to say that I supported
President Buhari because I collected money. Meanwhile, a candidate can decide
to pay me for endorsement or advert but the most important thing is the
ideology. Before I support any candidate, I have to believe in him.
“I have never hidden the fact that I have been a
card-carrying member of the All Progressives Congress since the party was
formed. You cannot tell me that because I am an actor, I cannot express myself;
that is absolutely preposterous. Desmond Elliot is an actor and a member of the
Lagos State House of Assembly. If he wasn’t a part of politics, how would he
have got into the House? I actually intend to go for a position later and if I
don’t belong to any party, I wouldn’t be able to do that, she said.
