Nigerian actress Remi Surutu has publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu for the 2027 general election, reaffirming her long-standing support for the president since his days as Lagos State governor.
The announcement was made at the launch of EKO57, a pro-Tinubu support group mobilising public backing for the president’s second term.
Speaking at the event, Surutu dismissed criticisms directed at her support, stating her commitment remains unwavering.
“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,” she said.
She further pledged active campaigning for Tinubu and warned detractors not to intimidate her.
“When you are on your straight line with your good hearts, nothing happens to you. There are so many anti-parties.
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,” Surutu added.
The actress also commended Tinubu for his behind-the-scenes management of national challenges, highlighting the dedication of his family to public service.
“This man does not sleep. The wife is always travelling all over the place. The son, too, is moving around. How many politicians have you seen his son moving around?” she said.
Surutu’s declaration underscores the growing support from prominent Nigerians for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.
