Mercy Johnson Faces Backlash for Endorsing APC Candidate
Nollywood star Mercy Johnson is once again in the spotlight, but this time for her involvement in politics.
The actress, known for her wide-reaching influence, has thrown her support behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is urging her fan base to follow suit.
She recently endorsed Senator Monday Okpebholo as her preferred candidate for the upcoming Edo gubernatorial elections, sparking a wave of reactions online.
While some of her followers are aligning with her views, a considerable number have voiced their displeasure, accusing her of using her celebrity status to push a political agenda.
Critics argue that public figures should be cautious when mixing entertainment with politics, while her supporters defend her right to express her political stance.
Johnson’s involvement has stirred debates about the role of influencers in shaping political decisions, with many wondering how much weight a celebrity endorsement can carry.
Despite the criticism, the actress remains steadfast in her endorsement of the APC and Senator Okpebholo, fueling further discussion as the election approaches.
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
