Mercy and husband
Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson's husband, Prince
Odianosen Okojie, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) from
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with several of his supporters who
defected on Monday at Uromi, Esan north-east local government area of
Edo state.
At the event where the defection took place, the young politician said: “I
was a member of the PDP. I joined politics to deliver and develop
people in the locality. The PDP is now a sinking ship and I am not the
captain of that ship. I had to run away from the sinking ship because of
what Governor Obaseki is doing.
“Obaseki has a good vision for the state. He has rolled out his
development plans and by the time he finishes, Edo State will be
something else and I want to be part of that team.
“It is people in Esanland that made PDP. We are going to
reverse it and deliver votes for the APC in all elections. The people of
Uromi know me, I will keep doing what I have been doing to make them
happy.”
On his part, his father, Chief Okojie, assured APC supporters and
leaders that elections in Ward 5 would now be a walk over for the APC.
According to him, “My son and I came for something good for the
APC. It is for peace to reign. There will be progress and development
with the APC.”
Presenting the broom, which is the symbol of APC to the defectors,
Prince Joe Okojie, assured them of equal treatment, saying “there are no
new comers to the APC”.
Meanwhile, in a post shared on his Instagram page, he praised President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC;
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” keep flexing
guys…una mama born una well. my love @mercyjohnsonokojie your husband
officially joined @apcnig Yesterday. God bless @muhammadubuhari. God
bless Nigeria,” she wrote.
