A tirade of responses has followed actress Mercy Johnson’s campaign post for the ruling All Progressives Congress has received (APC).
The renowned actress expressed faith in the APC’s objectives for women and all Nigerians in the message after the actress went to the APC women’s rally in support of Bola Tinubu, the party’s nominee for president on Wednesday.
Along with other female APC delegates, she also showed Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu pictures from the occasion.
In her caption, the mother of four explained that the event reminded her of her hope and confidence in the good intentions, great plans, and actions to follow for the women and people of Nigeria. Her husband, Prince Odianosen “Odi” Okojie, is running for the Federal House of Representatives, Esan North East/Esan South East Federal Constituency.
She wrote: “Earlier today, I joined His Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu @jidesanwoolu and the incredible women leaders that make up the APC ‘Women Presidential Campaign Team’ at the APC women Southwest Rally.
“As a woman, wife to an APC candidate @princeodiokojie, and mother, I am confident in the APC plan for women which is in line with the 35% affirmative action for women.
“From the goodwill messages and conversations with the women leaders, I was opportune to hear from the horse’s mouth and I have renewed hope and confidence in the good intentions, great plans, and actions to follow for the women of Nigeria and for the people of Nigeria.#RenewedHope. #VoteAPC. #Odiwife.”
Reacting, her politician hubby in the comment section praised and prayed for the movie star for always supporting him.
He said: “@mercyjohnsonokojie. My Dear Wife and Best Friend, Thanks a lot for your support, You have always STOOD where I STAND, You’re an amazing WOMAN. We will work hard for NIGERIA. I LOVE you and GOD Bless you. The Winning Ways BABY.”
Mercy’s husband praised her for her unwavering support, but many other social media users didn’t agree, telling her to let her man have his space and not try to convert them to her side.
Some made threats to stop supporting her and unfollowing her.

Nigerian socialite and businessman, Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, has refuted allegations of fathering a child with a Kenyan woman named Helen.

However, the businessman has repeatedly denied the allegations, asserting that he has no connection to the woman or her child.
“Children are a gift from God regardless of how they come, and I have more than enough to take care of my children, as many as possible that will come my way,” Chief Priest said.
“I have a beautiful marriage; this is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and if you watch the whole attack, it is on the marriage.”
When asked whether he would have accepted the child if proven to be his, the socialite responded, “Of course.”
He also expressed his willingness to undergo a paternity test but criticized the tone of the allegations. “You cannot bash me this hard and expect my loyalty,” he added.
Chief Priest further stated that the controversy has not impacted his marriage, emphasizing the strength of his bond with his wife. “We are not just husband and wife; we are business partners and associates that are inseparable,” he said.
He also suggested that the timing of the allegations raised questions about the accuser’s motives.
“The woman is always popping up every time I have an issue that goes viral. This shows that she has an ulterior motive rather than genuinely looking for the father of her child,” he stated.
The businessman noted that the saga has persisted for some time but maintained that he has no knowledge of the individuals orchestrating the accusations.
