Reality TV star Tacha has defended Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham amid backlash for allegedly arresting a troll and supporting the All Progressive Party (APC) and their presidential candidate, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Tacha took to her X account on July 10, 2024, to question the criticism against Abraham, emphasizing that everyone has the right to choose their preferred candidate. She stated, “Personally, I don’t understand the constant bullying of someone for picking their candidate of choice. The same way you have picked your choice of candidate, everybody has the right to pick their choice of candidate.”
Tacha expressed frustration over the backlash Abraham faced, particularly regarding her reported use of the police to pick up a troll. Abraham had clarified that she wrote a petition, not arrested anyone. Tacha explained, “If you write a petition to the police and the person that you’ve written the petition against refuses to honor the police invitation, they will pick him up. This has nothing to do with whether Toyin Abraham is a public figure or not.”
Tacha also addressed the broader impact of Abraham’s political support, questioning whether her involvement significantly influenced the election outcome. She concluded, “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!!”
