Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akintola, has sent an important message to the public against bullying other people to accept their choices.

The movie star, while speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, explained the main reason behind her intense support of President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential elections. According to her, an opposition supporter bullied her because of her choice of candidate, stating that the act pissed her off.

She stressed that although many people did not agree with her choice of candidate, she emphasized that it doesn't matter, however, bullying was the deal breaker for her, and she had to spite the individual.

Bimbo further advised the public against bullying, stressing that humans are expected to have different preferences, and it is important to respect one another's choice.

She said:
“I supported President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the last election because somebody annoyed me with their bullying.

“Nigerians are annoying. Don’t bully other people. We have our rights to differences of opinion. You don’t like this man [Tinubu], cool, you have the right not to like him. You prefer this person, good for you. But don’t bully others.

“They bullied aunty Joke [Silva] to the point that someone wrote something that was so inhumane. So, I made a video and said, ‘I’m also supporting Tinubu, kill me, let me see if you can change my mind.’

"We need to stop bullying. We need to agree that we can never agree with everybody. That’s what makes us great and beautiful. If we are all the same, it would be a boring life. Till tomorrow, you might not agree that he was the best person for the job, but at that point, that was who I wanted, that was who I voted for. You can’t take my voice away from me; it’s mine."
