Kayode Salako, the husband of actress Foluke Daramola-Salako, has come out to defend her after she was bashed online for allegedly supporting the ‘presidential bid’ of APC National leader, Bola Tinubu.
Foluke received heat online last week after a video of her and her colleagues singing Tinubu’s praise, surfaced online, This comes following rumours of Tinubu planning to run for presidency come 2023.
The video showed some Nollywood stars, sitting around a conference table, and chanting, “Asiwaju Bola Tinubu”. In her defence, Foluke said she and her colleagues’ presence at the gathering had nothing to do with politics. She said though she’s a card-carrying member of the APC, they were not there to endorse any candidate, instead, they were there for a peace and unity campaign.
In an open letter to Nigerians, her husband, Kayode said Nigerians are free to hate who they hate, while he and is wife should be free to love, who they love, and be able to show it in a democracy.
He pointed out that it would be hard for them to work against the interest of Tinubu as he is a benefactor of their family. According to him,. they would rather not support any political candidate than go against Tinubu.
He also mentioned that Nigerians cannot continue to blame Bola Tinubu for the fallout of the Lekki toll gate massacre of October, 20, 2020 since he is not the President and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces.
