Why I’m loyal to APC while my husband is Obidient – Foluke Daramola

Actress Foluke Daramola has given reasons why she is loyal to the All Progressives Congress APC, while her husband Kayode Salako is fully Obidient.

She said, Bola Tinubu is a father to me, he signed the certificate of my first marriage, his wife Oluremi was the mother of the day on my engagement.

Actress Daramola was recently appointed as the Assistant Director for the media department of the Performing Arts Directorate of the APC’s presidential council, while her husband Kayode Salako is the chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos.

In a recent interview, the actress made it known that her husband’s role will not affect her loyalty to APC.

She said allegations that her husband may be a mole in Labour Party are baseless and irrelevant.

Daramola said: “Those who know my husband know he eats and breathes Labour Party. He joined Labour as a citizen who had a different ideology and wants to be part of a different structure. He never knew he will become the Chairman but in the long run, people in his party saw his passion, dedication and commitment and they decided to make him the Chairman in Lagos.

When asked why she did not join the Labour Party, according to her: “One of the attributes of my husband is that he is not autocratic. He respects my decision and my opinion. As I said, he had a different ideology to mine and yet he respects my decision to follow my belief in the APC structure.”

The actress noted that the reward for good work is more work, noting that she has been in politics for a long time.
Daramola said: “Maybe you do not know that I have been in politics for long, In fact, I met my husband through activism and I have also been a member of APC for a long time. Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a father to me, he signed the certificate of my first marriage, his wife Oluremi was the mother of the day on my engagement while Femi Pedro was the chairman of the day. I have a rich history with Asiwaju, so this is not just a normal assignment for me, it is a serious assignment given to me by my father, so I tell you, my husband won’t have a problem with me working for my father.”

The actress further rejected claims that she and her husband may collide to work in favour of either Labour or APC.

She said: “We are people of integrity. My husband will not come to share sensitive information about his party with me and I will not do the same. There is still a long way to go in life and our reputation is very important to us.”
