Tinubu: Dele Momodu Sparks Mixed Reaction As He Expresses Concern For Joke Silva, Olu Jacobs

Veteran Nigerian journalist, Dele Momodu, has expressed concern for Nollywood actress Joke Silva and her husband Olu Jacobs.

Naija News reports that the two veteran stars have come under heavy criticism in the recent days, over Joke Silva’s support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Many Nigerians berated the actress for stopping her ailing husband from taking movie roles but sees nothing wrong with supporting Tinubu whose frail health has remained a topic of discussion online.

Amidst the criticisms, Dele Momodu took to his Instagram page to share photos of Joke Silva and her husband stating that they will always remain icons.

He further urged her that there is nothing to worry about the cyberbullying and backslashes they have received, for supporting the former Governor of Lagos State.

He captioned the post: “My dearest Sister @ajokesilva you will always remain our icon… Nothing to worry about”

Nigerians React

The post generated mixed reactions from netizens with many saying it is high time that people leave others with their choices instead of bullying them.

Enough of all the cyber bullying in the name of supporting a particular candidate. Use your PVC when the time comes and stop harassing people for not aligning with your choice.”

However, the issue is not about Peter obi,no one should tribalise this !!! The blame is solely on the two previous political parties who have squandered the resources of this nation in the past and one of them is still worsening the situation till date . A poor child you did not feed will one day hunt you for food”
