Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola-Salako, has opened up about the personal and professional challenges she faced during the 2023 elections.

In an interview with Behind The Fame TV, she declared that her approach in 2027 will be different.

Additionally, she disclosed that her stance almost affected her marriage.

She said: “The truth of the matter is, for me, the way I was in 2023 cannot be the way I will be in 2027. It can’t be because… I know what I lost without collecting a kobo, no matter how much is seen. I lost two ambassorial deals, one 10 million, one 15 million, because of the election, because of Obidient movement. I almost lost my marriage.

“I almost lost my marriage but the fundamental thing is that I voted my conscience and choice.”

Daramola-Salako was appointed media assistant for the performing arts directorate department of the APC’s 2023 presidential campaign council in Lagos State.

Despite facing backlash, she maintained her loyalty to Tinubu, describing him as a father figure who had supported her on numerous occasions, including her wedding.

Her husband, Kayode Salako, who was the Lagos chairman of the Labour Party and a supporter of Peter Obi, defended her stance.

He stated that Nigerians are free to support whom they choose.

He said that they would rather not support any political candidate than oppose Tinubu, whom he described as a benefactor to their family.
