Supporters of the Labour Party Presidential candidate Peter Obi are bashing veteran actress Joke Silva for backing the presidential bid of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Joke Silva who was enlisted as a member of the Presidential campaign team of the All Progressives Congress joined a female rally in Lagos to declare support for Tinubu on Monday.
However, Silva’s decision did not sit well with Peter Obi’s supporters who have been repeatedly called out for cyber-bullying as the 2023 election draws closer.
The attacks on the veteran actress forced her to lock her Instagram comment section.

Dear Joke Silva, history and posterity wouldn't forget the position you took. You have children, they as well would have children. May the good Lord reward everyone according to their works, unto the third and fourth generations…

I’m really happy Joke Silva closed her comments and other Tinubu supporters are in the closet and afraid to publicly support him/APC. This means we’re getting somewhere.
There is shame in supporting greed, wickedness and failure, and I’m happy they recognize this.

Joke Silva has pitched her tenth with Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
At 61, she has nothing to lose. All she wants is retirement benefits and Nollywood can’t give her that.
Mama is old and she may not be looking forward to achieving anything spectacular. It is what it is. pic.twitter.com/rtkT1AaNiO— President Eniola Daniel (@UnlimitedEniola) October 3, 2022
"Nobody should drag Joke Silva, Mercy Johnson, Rahama Sadau, & other celebs in Tinubu's Women Campaign Team" bla bla bla….
Why won't they be dragged when they decided to dabble into politics to support the same APC that has kept Nigerian students off school for 8 months?

NOW LET ME SAY THIS! Joke Silva deserves all the drags she is getting, because this is a woman we expect should know better,
It is wickedness for anyone to wish Tinubu and APC on Nigerians,
The same choice we respected in 2015, that made lekki massacre happen and People died ????— Blossom martins???????? (@blossommartins) October 4, 2022
Her failed career led her into a failed take. So sad. No role models

So Joke Silva left Olu Jacobs to come and walk under the sun for someone she's stronger than for free?

Joke Silva deserves all the dragging,if any of these influencers endorses a fraudulent company & ppl lose their money, won't we call them out? So why shld we spare her when the stakes are 1000 times higher? Why is she endorsing a fraudulent candidate for her selfish interests? ???? pic.twitter.com/bGdCFI18nW

Joke Silva must be having a hard time taking care of her husband and I wish her the best, but wanting jagaban who's in similar health conditions or even worse to lead a country of 200m people is witchcraft.
