Nollywood actress Oluebube Obio has broken her silence following widespread criticism after a video surfaced showing her at an All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign event. In a social media post dated Saturday, September 5, 2026, Obio alleged that she was "forced" to attend the event and that her "life and safety" were not guaranteed.

Videos circulating online around September 3, 2026, showed Obio on stage at the APC campaign in Bayelsa State, where she was seen wearing campaign regalia and presenting awards. Her appearance led to significant backlash from fans and the public, who questioned her political affiliation and presence at the rally.

Responding to the criticism, Obio stated that there were circumstances surrounding her appearance that were not visible in the videos. She claimed she felt "discomfort and stressed up" during the event. The actress further alleged that she was being blackmailed and promised to expose those involved when the time is right, urging her supporters to pray for her. However, Obio did not disclose the identities of the individuals she accused of coercion or provide specific details about the alleged blackmail or the circumstances leading to her attendance.

The controversy has reignited discussions about the involvement of entertainers in partisan politics, particularly as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obio, sometimes referred to as "Boss Baby," is known for her roles in Nollywood films and her presence as a comedian on social media. As of the latest reports, she has not provided further details or evidence to support her claims.
