Ahead of the forthcoming 2015 general elections in Nigeria,
many celebrities have been pledging and drumming their supports for different
candidates and as well as political parties.
Top Nollywood diva and one of Google’s most searched actress
in Nigeria on the internet, Mercy Johnson Okojie has revealed where her loyalty
dwells in the elections.
In a recent chat, the mother of two, who was recently
accused by a top marketer of absconding with his money, pledged her support for
President Goodluck Jonathan, citing several reasons for her decision, noting
that she believes he should be given a chance to remain Nigeria’s president at
the February 14, 2015 presidential elections.
He deserves another chance. This is a president who has good
intentions for the nation. He is by no means a perfect man but he means well
and he has apparently learnt from his weaknesses in the last four years.
We must continue to believe in this great nation of ours.
Nigeria belongs to us. The president cannot do it alone. He needs our help and
we should not let him down at a time like this when he needs our votes to get
the job done,” she said.
Mama Purity, as she fondly called by close friends, reminded
Nigerians that President Goodluck Jonathan launched the Public Works Women and
Youth Empowerment Programme, an intervention programme designed to employ
370,000 youths with 30% of those jobs being reserved for women.
Mercy Johnson also urged Nigerians to cast aside their
sentiments and make the right choice during the forthcoming elections.
