“I’m not gonna use my own interest to lead others. He has been a wonderful man to my people. He has been there for people even when they had nothing. I am speaking for my own Oluwatoyin Abosede Dada Abraham Ajeyemi.
“Let people choose whoever they want to choose. I will not let people use the gender part of me. I will support anyone who supports everybody. Someone competent.
“I’m not going to jeopardise the future of our children because of gender part or because I have a colleague there.”
Speaking on her recently released film ‘Ijakumo,’ the award-winning actress said the storyline originated from “my dream.
“I saw it in my dreams. I realised that a lot of dreams are relatable. It’s no true life event but I know it’s relatable. I know this is happening. But you know there is a difference between dreams and reality. There are things you’ll add and remove,” she said.
