Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has distanced herself from the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign council for the 2027 election, asking the public to disregard reports linking her to the political body.

Abraham addressed the development through her Instagram Story following the circulation of the campaign council list online.
The actress made it clear that she was not part of the campaign council and said she had already decided to remain outside partisan politics.

The development came shortly after the release of a list containing the names of 33 entertainers reportedly selected for the Lagos APC Campaign Council.
Abraham’s name appeared alongside established figures from Nigeria’s film and music industries, including Oga Bello, Bukky Wright, Yinka Quadri, Pasuma, Saheed Osupa, Small Doctor and Malaika.
The inclusion generated attention on social media, prompting questions about the actress’s political affiliation and involvement in the 2027 election campaign.
However, Abraham’s subsequent statement indicates that she does not want to be associated with the campaign council.
‘I’m Staying Out of Politics’
Explaining her position, the actress gave a brief but direct reason for rejecting the reported appointment.
“I’m staying out of politics,” she stated.
She further urged members of the public not to attach her name to any campaign committee, reiterating that her decision was not to participate in partisan political activities.
The actress’s response comes as political parties begin preparations and mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election, with entertainers and other public figures increasingly featuring in campaign structures.

For now, the actress says she intends to remain outside politics and has asked Nigerians to disregard any campaign committee listing bearing her name.
