Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, has been trending on social media since she made a post throwing her weight behind APC’s Lagos governorship candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Ms Johnson posted photos of her activity with the ruling party; All Progressives Congress on her verified Instagram page on Wednesday evening and captioned it: “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 opportuned 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.”
This didn’t obviously go down well with some Nigerians who stormed her comment section to express their disappointments.
