Toyin Aimakhu has reacted to the backlash over her support for President Jonathan and Jimi Agbaje.. While hosting the president Jonathan meets 5000 youth in Lagos, she said she would gladly die for PDP.. The backlash was intense and she just released  a statement saying it was a joke and there is freedom of speech..Our country has given its citizens the right to freedom of speech and right to vote and be voted for, I’m most definitely not an exception.

It is then left to us not to undermine the decision or choices of others as it is loathsome. We live in a world where people take pleasure in bringing other people down. I feel obliged to address the matter of me dying for the PDP. Firstly, no one is dying for anyone and the last time I checked only Jesus had died for us with no strings attached or money promised to his family when he’s gone. He died to save us all. Have
