Actress Mercy Johnson has encountered significant criticism after endorsing Senator Monday Okpebholo in the run-up to the Edo State gubernatorial election.
The actress, whose spouse is an Edo State politician, was spotted supporting Senator Okpebholo, an APC candidate for Edo State governor, at a political rally in Ward 6 Irruekpen, Esan West LGA.
In the viral video, Mercy Johnson encouraged women to talk to their husbands and children about voting for the candidate.
Internet users are outraged by this and call her callous, given the hardships in the nation, for making such a comment.
One Linzkits wrote: “If you all like follow mercy Johnson campaign oo. You all should know that she has cashed out. She only working for the money. Don’t be foolish to follow her. If Nigeria spoil e no affect her oo”.
One Amfani_Shadrach wrote: “E no go better for this ashawo. God punish you there”
One Gloree wrote: “Is her husband not serving under APC? She no get choice. But in her heart, she knows the truth”
One Sense wrote: “Na we dey overrate them because them dey appear for TV. Mercy Johnson is a normal Nigerian who will use every opportunity she finds to swindle anyone. Just imagine campaigning for a compound illiterate to become a state Governor, this is what they have reduced the Edo people to”
One Amber Ose Ibeh wrote: “Mercy Johnson is just a cheap opportunistic agbero with zero class and zero morality in my opinion. Imagine supporting and blabbing Tinubu and now also supporting illiterate Monday Okpebholo of all people. Talent is really not enough”.
