In the massive crowd gathered at Ward 6 Irruekpen, Esan West LGA, Mercy was enthusiastic with her speech.
However some of the netizens are arguing that the actress should not complain or cry foul like her colleague Toyin Abraham when netizens call her out if Monday Okpebholo fails to perform as Governor of Edo State.
