Nollywood Star Sarah Martins Pledges Full Campaign Support for Seyi Tinubu
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has made a bold declaration of unwavering support for Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, stating she would lead his political campaign should he ever decide to contest for any public office. The actress made this promise in a video shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, April 16, 2026, addressing both her admiration for Seyi and the criticism it has attracted from online commentators.
Roots of Loyalty: A N20 Million Lifeline for Charity
Martins revealed that her steadfast loyalty stems from a significant act of generosity by Seyi Tinubu in October 2025. At that time, she had publicly cried out after facing an alleged confrontation from operatives believed to be from the Kick Against Indiscipline unit during a street outreach where she was cooking for less privileged individuals. Following this incident, Seyi Tinubu reportedly reached out and donated a substantial sum of N20 million to support her food charity project, which she described as a crucial lifeline.
"If Seyi Tinubu comes out to contest for anything now or later, I will loudly campaign for him," Martins asserted in her video, emphasizing her readiness to publicly back his political ambitions. She framed this commitment as a matter of principle, rooted in gratitude for his support when others dismissed her humanitarian efforts as mere clout-chasing.
Embracing Criticism and Expanding Charity Efforts
Rather than retreat from the backlash, Sarah Martins defiantly embraced the labels thrown at her by critics. "You all bully me for being loyal to a man that saw value in me when each and everyone of you saw my humanity in service as clout chasing?" she questioned. "You see this una new title 'political tool' I accept it with my full chest only for Seyi Tinubu's government not his father's government. I am big on loyalty, get used to it."
In addition to her political stance, Martins disclosed ongoing plans to enhance her charitable work. She is actively working towards acquiring a larger truck to improve logistics for feeding vulnerable communities, noting that her current vehicle is too small to accommodate her team and cooking equipment for outreach missions. "Notice: I am working towards getting a good truck for my charity outreach to enable me go to rural areas to feed vulnerable communities," she explained, highlighting her dedication to expanding her humanitarian impact.
Context and Previous Clarifications
This announcement follows earlier media attention where Sarah Martins addressed rumors about her personal life. Previously, she clarified that a lunch date with a dispatch rider who had lost his job was merely a friendly gesture, firmly stating that she does not 'date low' and dismissing speculation about a romantic relationship. Her focus remains on her career and charity work, with this latest video reinforcing her public persona as a loyal and outspoken figure in Nigerian entertainment and social circles.
The video has sparked discussions online, blending elements of celebrity influence, political loyalty, and philanthropic endeavors in Nigeria's vibrant social landscape.
