Alex Unusual lays curses on Toyin Abraham, Eniola Badmus, others supporting Tinubu

Ex Big Brother Naija housemate, Alex Unusual has extensively blasted Nigerian celebrities who are supporting APC presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The reality star took to her Instagram page to rant over alleged rigging being carried out by the All Progressive Congress and some celebrities who still support them despite their blatant corrupt practices.

According to her, these celebrities have sold their souls because they know that they’d gain something if the APC candidate emerges president. She described these celebrities as the agents of darkness and adding that they’d never come across joy in their lives.

You may recall that several other celebrities have called out their colleagues (Toyin Abraham and Eniola Badmus) for supporting Tinubu. See her Instagram post below:
