Determined to exercise her civil obligations, aged mom of veteran Nollywood actress, Dr. Abimbola Silva stirred the hearts of other Nigerians when she appeared to exercise her civic duty in wheel chair at Doula Polling Unit, Apapa, GRA, Lagos State.

The 89-year-old mother of Nollywood actress, Joke Silva maintained that voting was her fundamental right.

Unshackled by old age and impaired movement, she said, “It is my right to vote. By doing this I am laying a good example for the younger generation. The exercise has been ok,” she said
Silva was at the same polling unit with ailing 85-year-old Dr. Adebisi Sebanjo.

The octogenarian medical director of Julisam Hospital walked to the centre with aide of two young female nurses wearing blue uniforms.
