The daughter of Nollywood actress Remi Surutu has come to her mother’s defence following criticism over the actress’s alleged support for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The backlash, which trailed online posts linked to political campaigning, drew reactions from social media users, prompting the young woman to publicly address critics and affirm her loyalty.

“If he reach your turn no support your mama because of online troll. I love my wura like that regardless,” she said, reacting to the wave of criticism directed at her mother.
Her response has since generated mixed reactions, with some praising her for standing by her parent, while others argued that public figures must be ready to face scrutiny, especially when involved in political matters.
Debate over celebrity political stance
The development highlights the growing intersection between entertainment and politics in Nigeria, where celebrities often face backlash for openly supporting political parties or candidates.
This is not the first time Nigerian entertainers have faced public criticism for political affiliations.
During the 2023 general elections, several Nollywood figures were called out and boycotted over their perceived political alignments, sparking debates on freedom of choice and public accountability.
