"I am not campaigning for anybody; I might wake up tomorrow and say that I want to campaign for someone, but for now I am not. I want everybody to make their own decisions so that when trouble comes, no one will say... Because I know I have influence, and about that, we are all women here, I won’t let anyone use the gender card on me. I will support someone who supports the people. And I will support someone who is competent, and I will support someone who I know can deal with the crowd.

Netizens react to Toyin Abraham’s stance
nifemijosh:
"It's very unfortunate that most of us find it very difficult to accept people's decision and opinion. Once someone isn't on thesame page with you the person becomes an enemy. You guys are not receptive to other people's opinion and very appalling she said she's not campaigning for anyone,she has just one vote and that's it. It's her choice, make your own choice too and stop bullying people on the internet because of diverse opinion."
