Popular Nigerian actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie have come under heavy fire after she publicly endorsed Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term.
The 2023 gubernatorial election is around the corner and everyone has been canvassing for their choice of candidate in Lagos State.
Taking to Instagram minutes ago, Mercy Johnson shared a scorecard of the sitting Governor who is seeking re-election to retain his position.
According to the scorecard shared by the mother of four, Sanwo-Olu has performed excellently well in healthcare, culture & entertainment, road construction/rehabilitation, environment, food, education and technology sectors.
Captioning her post, she wrote: “This is why my choice is Governor Babajide Sanwoolu; His efforts that have improved healthcare, women’s development, transportation, entrepreneurship, education, and infrastructure in Lagos State.
“Key points for me include the handling of the Covid 19 pandemic, entrepreneurship support and all the work behind the scenes helping women who have been victims of domestic violence to supporting their entrepreneurship.
“His results can be seen and measured. Yes, there is still a lot of work left to do, I believe in my heart that he can and will do as he says”.
Fans took to Mercy Johnson’s comments section to blast her for supporting Sanwo-Olu.
Many questioned why she didn’t show off the president-elect the same way she is showing off her governorship candidate. Others told her to ask the governor who gave the orders at 2020 Lekki-Toll gate massacre.

If you really love us and appreciate us, how hard is it for you guys to at least support the candidates that care for us and will treat us well??
Most of y’all care about only your pockets… because of course, you can leave the country at any time.
May the lord judge you all.”

It can’t be attributed to him alone. The educational system is even worst, let’s not even go there. Thank you ma”
