Nollywood actress Remilekun Oshodi, popularly known as Remi Surutu, has revealed how trolls blamed her for the death of her daughter while campaigning for President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
Speaking at the official launch of EKO57, a Lagos-based support group for Tinubu’s campaign on Sunday, Oshodi stated that despite the backlash she experienced in 2023, she is ready to campaign for Tinubu again.
The thespian boasted that she is not scared and dared anyone who does not believe in Tinubu to bring someone from their family to rule the nation.
She said, “I am not scared. I’ve been campaigning for so many years. People bashed me on the internet during campaign time. They said a lot. They even insulted me and said, a day to election, 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 B Tinubu, our Baba, 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. But I am telling myself, I am not backing out. I am going to campaign for him, and I am going to vote for him. And he has my vote.”
The veteran actress also used the platform to address the broader challenges of politics and personal conviction, saying, “There are so many anti-party. When they want to take money, they will come and say I am with you. They will leave. You have to know what you are doing. You have to know what you want for yourself. If this man had not been covering a lot of things, Nigeria would have gone into a big mess by now. But we don’t know. We just sit at the back of our houses. This man does not sleep. The wife is always travelling all over. The son, too, moving around. How many politicians have you seen with their sons moving around?”
