Rahama Sadau rejects inclusion in Tinubu’s campaign team

Actress Rahama Sadau of Kannywood has distanced herself from the All Progressive Congress (APC) women’s presidential campaign council for Bola Tinubu.

The list was made public on July 4 by Rinsola Abiola, a spokesperson for the campaign and the late Moshood Abiola’s daughter.

The names of 944 well-known women and wives of prominent APC politicians are included on the campaign list.

No fewer than 33 Nollywood and Kannywood actors were listed for entertainment in the 70-page campaign document.

They included veteran thespians such as Joke Silva who chairs the category, Fausat Balogun, Remi Oshodi, Mercy Johnson, Rose Odika, Sola Kosoko, Lanre Hassan (Iya Awero) Hajiya Nas, Lizzy Jay (Omo Ibadan), Princess Kalihat Bello among others.

However, some media reports claimed Rahama was among the actresses who joined the campaign team.

Debunking the report in a Twitter post on Saturday, an angry Rahama described it as a “big fat lie”.

She wrote: “THIS IS A BIG FAT LIEEEEE…. I AM NOT AWARE OF THIS … I DON’T KNOW HOW MY NAME MADE IT TO THIS LIST, NOT IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS.”
