Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo is currently in the news over her new gig with APC.
The movie star, via her Instagram page, had shared a promotional video showcasing upgrades at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos. The video, shared on Tuesday, February 10, highlighted improvements made by President Bola Tinubu’s administration through the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
In the clip, Ojo praised FAAN while showcasing the terminal’s major upgrades, including wide check-in areas, indoor plants, charging stations, and improved lounges. She described the changes as a positive transformation.
“FAAN is changing for the better in so many ways. Besides the renovation of the MMIA Lagos Terminal 1 and the beauty & comfort of Terminal 2, the service of their Protocol Team is exceptional. I’m so proud of my country,” she wrote in a caption.
The video drew political backlash, with many questioning the choice of Iyabo due to her support for Labour Party presidential aspirant Peter Obi in the 2023 elections.
Some also argued that Tinubu supporters, such as Toyin Abraham and Eniola Badmus, were more deserving of the gig.
Hopping on the trend, an X user boldly questioned why Toyin Abraham didn’t get a gig, given her efforts to support Tinubu’s administration.
