Mercy Johnson, Nollywood actress and wife of Edo State politician Prince Odi Okojie, is making strides in blending her role as an entertainer with her evolving political influence.
Recently, Mercy accompanied Hajiya Fatima Abass, wife of Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, to Plateau State for the Nzem Berom 2025 cultural celebration.
Taking to social media, Mercy shared her excitement about the event, describing it as an unforgettable cultural experience. She expressed gratitude to the people of Plateau State for their warm hospitality and praised the Gbong Gwom of Jos, Jacob Gyang Buba, for his leadership and support of the festivities.
I was extremely thrilled to accompany my boss, Hajiya Fatima Abbas Tajudeen, the wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, on this historic celebration of the Nzem Berom 2025 cultural celebration in Plateau State. Beautiful people filled with so much love and a culture worthy of celebration. Thank you, Plateau State. My respects, as always, to the Gbong Gwom Of Jos, Jacob Gyang Buba,” she wrote.
Her post garnered positive reactions from fans and colleagues alike, with many urging her to pursue a political career.
Fans and followers filled Mercy’s comment section with admiration and encouragement, with some offering her Berom names and others hailing her as a “woman king.” A fan remarked, “Politics is calling you,” reflecting the growing sentiment that Mercy could be a powerful figure in Nigeria’s political scene.
Although Mercy has largely avoided direct involvement in politics, her actions show otherwise. From campaigning for gubernatorial candidates like Senator Monday Okpebholo in Edo State to endorsing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for re-election in Lagos, she has used her platform to influence political decisions.
During the 2023 House of Representatives election, Mercy actively supported her husband, Prince Odi Okojie, as he campaigned and eventually won his seat. In a celebratory post, she showcased her unwavering support for her husband, solidifying her image as a dedicated partner in his political journey.
