Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson has captured the attention of social media, becoming the top trending topic on X after a video surfaced of her campaigning for the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in Edo State, Senator Monday Okpebholo. In the video, Johnson urged voters in Ward 6, Irruekpen, Esan West Local Government Area, to rally behind Okpebholo in the upcoming election.
The video has sparked a mix of reactions online, with some users cautioning the actress not to express disappointment if the candidate does not fulfill his promises, invoking the phrase “Asiwaju Baby,” a reference tied to political figures in previous elections.
Johnson’s involvement in the campaign is seen as a natural step, given her husband, Hon. Prince Odi Okojie, is the Coordinator for the APC Edo Central Campaign Council, highlighting the couple’s deepening ties to political activities in the state.
