“Ask him who gave the orders” Mercy Johnson under fire for endorsing Governor Sanwo-Olu for second term

Mercy Johnson-Okojie, a Nollywood actress, has come under fire after publicly endorsing Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for a second term.

The 2023 gubernatorial election is fast approaching, and everyone in Lagos State has been canvassing for their preferred candidate.

Mercy Johnson, who recently took to Instagram, shared a scorecard of the sitting Governor, who is running for re-election. According to the mother of four’s scorecard, Sanwo-Olu has excelled in healthcare, culture and entertainment, road construction/rehabilitation, environment, food, education, and technology.

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 Mery 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”
