Toyin Aimakhu-johnson actress Defends Her "I Can Die For PDP" Comment by Ibiyomee(f): 10:52am On Apr 04, 2015
Toyin Aimakhu made a public declaration of her love for PDP in a manner that got everyone buzzing.

Yoruba actress Toyin Aimakhu-Johnson has shown time and time again that she is a loyal fine of PDP, most especially the running presidential candidate Goodluck Jonathan.
On Sunday March 1, 2015 GEJ met with several celebrities at Eko Hotel and Toyin went up on stage and said in Yoruba"I can die for Yoruba".Several people responded harshly to her comment saying she went way too far.
It seems Toyin is not very good at speaking in public, recall how she presented herself while she attacked Stella Damasus on Twitter.

Earlier today Toyin took to her Instagram page to explain the reason for her statement in a press release written by her sister Rachael.

"OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE Our country has given its citizens the right to freedom of speech and right to vote and be voted for, I’m most definitely not an exception. As of 1999, Nigeria has about 29 political parties, allowing every citizen to choose at their own free will. It is then left to us not to undermine the decision or choices of others as it is loathsome. We live in a world where people take pleasure in bringing other people down. I feel obliged to address the matter of me dying for the PDP. Firstly, no one is dying for anyone and the last time I checked only Jesus had died for us with no strings attached or money promised to his family when he’s gone. He died to save us all. Haven’t pointed that out, I will like to say, I will not , in any way, for no reason whatsoever, die for a person or a political party. Secondly, I personally feel it is pathetic for anyone to take my word literally when it was simply a joke. As a successful Nollywood actress, it is not unusual for people in my line of work to use the phrase ‘ha baba, walai mo love yin gaan mo le ku fun yin ni sir’ with smiles on their faces. This was me, just doing my job as a host of the event, trying to be funny, which by the way, worked. It is absurd to take my word out of context.
Furthermore, my choices, should however in no way be a channel for condemnation. Celebrities and public figures, just like every other people, are allowed to campaign, vote and support whomever and however we please. As many great political parties we have, we cannot vote for them all. It is a one man, one vote society. I love everyone as best as I can, most especially my fans ,make your choice, respect the choice of others, let it be, and most especially, do not allow the choice of others affect yours. In conclusion, let’s try to help others grow and support them. Don’t let the success of others make you feel resentment against them or envious, simply learn from them and strive to do better.
I wish everyone safe, free and fair election.
Rachel Aimakhu"

You are a woman of easy virtues, your opinion and association is crass, classless and caseless. You don't represent a responsible African woman and your contributions to the yoruba race CANNOT be traced.

Go and die!!!

Buhari we know.

Take a chill pill bro. It's her choice, that's the fun of Democracy. Moreover, she might not even know you exist, so stop getting too emotional on this Sir.

Btw, who wrote that release for Toyin I follow her on IG and I know she can't even write a 4-line update without blunders. Who did it, was it you OP? angry

Aftermath of March 28 result. Toyin now bactracking on her statement. Well it's in the blood of PDP members, lest I forget one of them also denied calling himself a bastard. grin
