Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly declared her support for Seyi Tinubu, stating that she would campaign for him if he decides to contest for any political office in the future.
The actress made the statement in a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, April 16, while responding to critics questioning her open admiration for the president’s son.
Why she is backing him
Martins explained that her loyalty is rooted in a personal experience, revealing that Seyi Tinubu once supported her charity work with a ₦20 million donation.
She said the support came in October 2025 after she raised concerns about an alleged assault by uniformed officials while distributing food to the less privileged.
According to her, the incident involved operatives believed to be from the Kick Against Indiscipline unit, who confronted her during a street outreach.
She added that Tinubu later reached out and offered financial assistance to help sustain her charity initiative.
“I will campaign for him”
Speaking in the video, Martins said the gesture strengthened her commitment to him, stressing that she is ready to publicly support him if he enters politics.
“If Seyi Tinubu comes out to contest for anything now or later, I will loudly campaign for him,” she said.
She also dismissed criticism over her stance, saying she has no issue being labelled a political tool.
“I accept it with my full chest only for Seyi Tinubu’s government, not his father’s government. I am big on loyalty,” she added.
Plans to expand charity work
The actress also revealed plans to grow her outreach efforts, noting that she is working towards acquiring a truck to improve logistics for feeding vulnerable communities.
According to her, her current vehicle is too small to accommodate her team and equipment.
The development has sparked mixed reactions online, with many debating her comments and public support for the president’s son.
