The critics accused them of receiving the money to endorse Tinubu.
Reacting, Foluke said she did not receive any money to endorse any candidate, adding that she and her colleagues were present at the event to advocate for peace in society.
According to her, the gathering had nothing to do with politics or endorsing Tinubu’s candidacy for the presidency in 2023.
The 43-year-old actress said though she’s a card-carrying member of the APC, she had not endorsed anyone yet.
In a video on her Instagram page, the actress said: “I need to set the record straight, I never endorse anyone, please don’t get things twisted.
“What we went to do yesterday had nothing to do with politics. We are in a group advocating for peace and unity in Nigeria.
“Although I’m a card-carrying member of APC, we did not go in the capacity of endorsing Asiwaju Tinubu for President, and it was not a Nollywood thing.
“I was not paid in any way for this. It was meant to be a unity and peace campaign, nothing more.
“Don’t let us get it twisted, and it does not have anything to do with politics or Nollywood. Let’s be guided!”
