Nollywood actress Oluebube Obio has sparked mixed reactions online after she was spotted wearing Tinubu-branded clothing at a political campaign event in Bayelsa State, showing support for President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid. A video circulating online on Thursday, September 3, 2026, showed the petite actress at an All Progressives Congress (APC)-related gathering in Bayelsa, where she wore a Tinubu-branded T-shirt and cap.
Actress Participates in APC Event in Bayelsa
During the event, Obio was welcomed on stage, where she interacted with those present and participated in the programme, including presenting awards to some recipients. At one point, she playfully reacted after being introduced as the tallest actress at the event, drawing laughter from the crowd. Her appearance has since generated mixed reactions online, with some fans questioning her decision to participate in a political event associated with the APC and Tinubu's 2027 campaign.
The actress has not, however, publicly announced a formal appointment to Tinubu's campaign organisation in the reports reviewed. Her presence at the event and her appearance in campaign-branded clothing indicate visible participation in the gathering, but do not by themselves establish that she has been officially appointed to a campaign position.
Political Context Ahead of 2027 Elections
The development comes as political activities ahead of Nigeria's 2027 general elections continue to gather momentum, with Tinubu seeking a second term in office. The Bayelsa APC had previously endorsed Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate for the 2027 election, while state party leaders have continued to campaign for his re-election.
Obio is known for her roles in Nollywood productions and has built a following around her comic performances and distinctive on-screen persona. Her latest appearance has now placed the actress at the centre of an online conversation about celebrities and political participation ahead of the 2027 elections.
