Fans of Nollywood star and TV host Mercy Johnson Okojie have been quick to criticise her latest social media post, which shows her in a group photographs with the Governor of Lagos State, and some women leader of the ruling party of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the just concluded ‘APC Women Presidential Campaign Team’ rally in Lagos.
The TV host Mercy Johnson Okojie who shared the photos on her official social media handle on Wednesday 7th December 2022, officially declared her support for the APC, which her husband is also a member of and also contesting for an office in the forthcoming general election in 2023.
She shared the photos with these words as caption:
“Earlier today, i joined his excellency, Babajide Sanwo Olu 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,” TV host Mercy Johnson Okojie said.
The posts was not met with open arms by many of her fans and social media followrs, who quickly hit out at the perceived betrayal. They took to the comment section of ther social media handle to drag her for her decision.
