Big Brother Naija star Tacha has defended Toyin Abraham, who faced backlash for supporting the All Progressive Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu during the 2023 general elections.
Tacha questioned why Abraham continues to be bullied and criticized for her political choices, emphasizing that everyone has the right to support their preferred candidate.
She also clarified the controversy around Abraham’s reported involvement with the police and a troll, stating that writing a petition is a legitimate action and does not necessarily involve using the police to silence critics.
“Personally, I don’t understand the constant bullying of someone for picking their candidate of choice. In the same way, you have picked your choice of candidate, everybody has the right to pick their choice of candidate. The same way you saw qualities in your candidate is the same way that other people saw them.
“I really don’t understand the constant, steady bullying based on the candidate she chose to support. Let’s not act naive… If you write a petition to the police and the person that you’ve written the petition against refuses to honour the police invitation, they will pick him up. This has nothing to do with whether Toyin Abraham is a public figure or not, or if you’re just a regular citizen,” Tacha explained.
She added: “You people are the same people who dragged the Nigerian police for not taking Mohbad’s petition seriously; now they are taking it seriously and you are saying that they are using the Nigerian police.
“Now with everyone dragging Toyin Abraham, I want to know what her impact was on last year’s election. Would our president still be our president without Toyin Abraham? Yes!!”
