Mercy Johnson-Okojie, the Nollywood actress, has been criticised on social media for campaigning for Monday Okpebholo, the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Edo.
A now-viral video shows Mercy soliciting votes for Okpebholo
at a rally. She also assured the crowd that the APC gubernatorial candidate
will bring positive changes to the state.
“Are you not tired? No light, water, healthcare, security
and good roads. If you will vote for senator Monday, raise your hand,” she
said.
“…So when you get to that field early in the morning, vote
for Monday, vote for APC, vote for the broom.”

The video has triggered backlash on social media with
critics slamming the actress for supporting the ruling party despite widespread
economic hardship, questioning her decision.
“Mercy Johnson is just a cheap opportunistic agbero with zero
class and zero morality in my opinion. Imagine supporting blabbing Tinubu and
now also supporting Illiterate Monday Okpebholo of all people. Talent is really
not enough,” an X user wrote.

How costly it had become under the same Administration of APC that she played Women's wing for and supported.
She out there in Edo State supporting a ma that has refused to appear on TV to discuss what he has for Edos.
That video by Mercy Johnson will make you understand that, politicians no really send us.

Okpebholo is running against Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and Olumide Akpata of the Labour Party (LP) among
others, in the September 21 election.
He also went viral for saying he would provide Edo residents “with insecurity” if elected.
