Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has publicly celebrated her husband, Prince Odianosen Okojie, following his reported victory at the APC primary election, according to a report by Kemi Filani. The development quickly became one of the trending conversations in Nigerian celebrity news and political circles within the last few hours.
According to the report, Mercy Johnson took to social media to applaud her husband after he secured the party’s ticket ahead of the forthcoming election.
In a post shared online, the actress praised Okojie’s supporters and expressed confidence in his political journey.
“The people are with you always,” she wrote.
The post has since generated reactions across X, Instagram, and Facebook, with many fans congratulating the actress and her husband, while others questioned the growing intersection between Nollywood fame and Nigerian politics.
Prince Odi Okojie, who represents the Esan North-East/Esan South-East Federal Constituency of Edo State, has remained active in APC politics over the years. Mercy Johnson has also publicly supported his political activities on several occasions, making them one of the most talked-about celebrity couples in Naija entertainment news and political gist.
Meanwhile, social media users continue to debate whether celebrity influence plays a major role in Nigerian elections, especially as viral celebrity stories increasingly dominate online conversations.
As at the time of filing this report, neither the APC leadership nor opposition parties had officially reacted beyond the primary election outcome. However, the victory has further boosted discussions ahead of the next political phase in Edo State.
