Nollywood actress and film producer, Foluke Daramola has received backlash following her instagram post where she praised the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress Bola Tinubu.
A video posted by the actress through her verified Instagram handle, @folukedaramolasalako, shows the archaic look of the Oshodi area of Lagos state before it underwent transformation.
Daramola had attributed the transformation to Tinubu.
“Oshodi, Lagos look in 2003. Did you experience this in Oshodi”
Daramola also recalled how people and their belongings used to get missing before the transformation of the road. She stated that now the road is safer and also asking if people do not think Tinubu deserves the praises.
“During this period in Oshodi, your earrings, jewellery will just vamoose on you. Bags, luggage and even humans got missing in multiple and daily. But now, safer and children of perdition think Tinubu shouldn’t be given praise”
“Thank God for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu #BATIFIEDALLTHEWAY #asiwajuforpresident2023
However, some instagram users have criticized the actress over her post.
Many accused her of giving credit to the wrong person.
Those who claimed to know said current Minister of Works and former Governor Babatunde Fashola should be credited for the first attempt at clearing Oshodi of debris while his successor Akinwumi Ambode should be credited for the commencement of the ongoing ultra-modern interchange and transport hub, the biggest in Nigeria so far.
@emperorsean1 said,
“Madam, campaign for whoever you chose but this is not the work of Tinubu. It’s started with Fashola, stop misleading people please.”
@mister_svg questioned,
“Why should Tinubu take the glory of what Fashola did?”
@posh_omoh added,
“Madam do you even no what you are saying tinubu did not clear oshodi Fashola
did. During Tinubu 8 years Oshodi was like this. Madam, vote your your own choice and stop giving information that you dont know.”
