Suggest a Man In Your Family If Tinubu Isn’t Doing Well’ – Actress Remi Surutu Tells Nigerians

Veteran Yoruba actress Remi Surutu has announced her support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election ahead of the 2027 general election.

She made the declaration at the launch of EKO57, a political support group established to mobilise public support for the president’s second-term bid.

The launch, held in Lagos on Sunday, was attended by actors such as Yomi Fash-Lanso, Adams “Lege Miami” Kehinde, and others.

Speaking at the launch, Surutu said she was not concerned about public criticism over her decision to campaign for the president.

She noted that she had supported Mr Tinubu since his days as governor of Lagos State and had repeatedly faced backlash online for her stance.

The actress said: “A day before the election (in 2023), they said to me that it was Asiwaju that I was following, who killed my child. But I care less. I still went on the second day to go and vote. Your vote is your right. Don’t let anybody deceive you. Don’t let anybody scare you. When I met Tinubu, our father, he was doing well. If you think he has not done well, suggest a man in your family. Let that person come and govern for just one day. Then you will know what is going on.

“I have said it myself, I am not backing out. I am going to campaign for him and vote for him. And he has my vote, and I am voting for him. And if you see anybody out there trying to scare anybody, if you plan to kill me, you are going to kill yourself. Because when you are going on your straight line with your good hearts, nothing happens to you. There are so many antipathies. When they want to take money, they will come, and I will be with you. They will leave, they will go to another place, I am with you.”
