Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye of the P-Square has frowned at attacks against Igbos in Lagos state ahead of the governorship election.

Mercy Johnson under fire for endorsing Gov. Sanwo-OluMercy Johnson under fire for endorsing Gov. Sanwo-Olu

Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, faces backlash for endorsing the incumbent governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term.

The actress took to her Instagram page to announce Babajide Sanwo-Olu as her choice to vote in the recently postponed gubernatorial election.

Stating her reasons for being willing to vote the governor for a second term, Mercy Johnson insisted that the work of his administration is visible and verifiable.

“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,” she wrote.

Netizens, however, lambasted the actress for throwing her weight behind Sanwo-Olu even though she maintained non-partisan during the presidential election.

Reactions to Mercy Johnson’s Support for Sanwo-Olu

@susu_ituen“Just wondering if you also advertised your own presidential candidate like this? I guess that would have affected your husbands election now his own is out of the way (road clear) Omo everything is politics that’s why I hate this game – hate it mehn.”

@debbyfooties__: “That’s your choice. But I want you all celebrities to know that without “us” the citizens that support you, you guys are NOTHING. 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.”

@fade4real_“If he is your choice, go out and vote him on Saturday, we don’t need this announcement, it’s to your pocket, opportunity to always have access to Governor tomorrow, we are wiser now.”

@tiana_ambrose“Aunty get sense she no gree campaign for their Presidential candidate because she no wan make her husband fail,as Oga don win she don get moral.”

I Didn’t Sleep With Colleague’s Husband – Actress Wumi Toriola Debunks Rumours

Wumi Toriola, the popular Nollywood actress, has reacted to some rumours about her.

The actress, on Wednesday, debunked rumours that she slept with the husband of a colleague in the movie industry.

The rumours started when a blogger, Gistlover, shared a picture of Toriola and actress Toyin Abraham on its Instagram page.

Debunking the claim, she wrote on her Instagram page, “This morning, my attention was called to a diabolical comment on Gistlover blog that I “slept with a colleague’s husband.

Not only is the comment false, it is diabolical, evil and intended to soil my name.

Not only did I not sleep with the said person’s present husband, I did not have any intimate relationship with her former husband as well.

I do not know why this person’s fans are fixated on continuous tarnishing of my image and bent on causing continuous rancour, but I do know that this is the last time I will be responding to anything regarding this person.

I have moved on. I am focusing only on the future and just want to make movies. By the way, my next production is Queen Lateefah for the big platforms. That is what I will be putting my energy on henceforth, not responding to people whose only goal is to see my downfall.

I will not fall or fail as along as God is on the throne. God is the greatest and to him alone will I continue to owe my sustenance.

Wumi Toriola.”
