Mercy Johnson could become Edo State’s First Lady?
By Adedayo Showemimo
Earlier today, word got out that Prince Okojie, the husband of Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson is going into politics.
With his posters and political campaign banners of him flooding the internet, Prince Okojie has finally spoken on his political ambition.
In a press statement issued earlier today, he said;
My attention has been drawn to various campaigns on-going online about the upcoming election in Edo State later this year.
The campaign mainly by young people (youths) and students from Edo State and my local government, is that I should vie for the position of Deputy Governor in the state. This is based on the premise that since the party zoned deputy governorship slot to Edo Central where I am originally from, I should represent various interests in the area.
This is a gesture I appreciate; it is a good thing for people to recognise your good work and want you to serve especially when one has been supportive without being in government.
If Mercy Johnson’s husband becomes deputy governor, he could then become governor. Mercy could then be First Lady….yaaaaaaaaay!
