Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has thrown her full weight behind President Bola Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, declaring she will campaign loudly if he ever contests for any political office. In a passionate Instagram post that has already set social media ablaze, the Asaba-based star clapped back at critics who branded her a “political tool” for her unwavering support.
Martins made her position crystal clear:
“If SEYI TINUBU comes out to contest for anything now or later, I will LOUDLY campaign for him!”
She fired at her detractors, reminding them how Seyi stood by her when others dismissed her charity work as mere clout-chasing.
“You all bully me for being loyal to a man who saw value in me when each and every one of you saw my humanity in service as clout chasing?”
The actress then owned the criticism head-on.
“You see this una new title ‘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, get used to it.”
Her bold declaration stems from a life-changing gesture Seyi made last year. After Martins alleged assault by Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) officials while cooking for the less privileged, Seyi gifted her N20 million and vowed to elevate her free food outreach. The support allowed her to scale her charity work in line with Lagos State environmental laws. She is currently working to acquire a truck because her car can no longer handle the volume of meals needed for vulnerable communities in rural areas.
Martins stressed that her loyalty runs deep and personal. She has repeatedly shown gratitude to those who lift her up, including Cubana Chief Priest’s wife who donated N1 million and another surprise helper who sent rice and foodstuffs via DM.
The post has triggered a storm of reactions, with some praising her for staying true to those who helped her while others accuse her of jumping on the political bandwagon. Yet Martins remains unapologetic, framing her stance as simple gratitude and fierce loyalty in an industry and society quick to judge.
As Seyi Tinubu continues to build his own public profile separate from his father’s administration, Sarah Martins’ loud endorsement adds fresh fuel to conversations about celebrity influence in Nigerian politics. For now, the actress stands firm behind the man who saw her real value, and she refuses to stay silent about it.
