The Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako has spoken candidly about the difficulties she encountered on the personal and professional fronts during the 2023 elections.
She stated that she will take a different tack in 2027 in an interview with Behind The Fame TV.
Two ambassadorship engagements worth 10 million and 15 million naira were reportedly lost as a result of her choice to back President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
She also revealed that her marriage was nearly ruined by her position.
As she put it: “The fact is that I cannot be the same person I was in 2023 and 2027.” That isn’t possible since It doesn’t matter how much is seen; I know what I missed without collecting a kobo. Two ambassadorial deals, worth 10 million and 15 million dollars, were lost due to the election and the Obedient movement. I nearly divorced.

“I nearly lost my marriage, but the important thing is that I made my own decision and followed my conscience.”
The performing arts directorate section of the APC’s 2023 presidential campaign committee in Lagos State hired Daramola-Salako as their media assistant.
She described Tinubu as a father figure who had supported her on many occasions, including her wedding, yet she remained faithful to him in spite of criticism.
Her husband, Kayode Salako, a supporter of Peter Obi and the chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos, supported her position.
Nigerians can choose who they want to support, he said.
As a benefactor to their family, he said, they would rather not to support any political candidate than to oppose Tinubu.
