Many would think the place of gospel artistes is only Christian-themed occasions but it was a departure from the usual on Tuesday as gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo serenaded thousands of Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) ers at the flag-off of the party’s 2023 governorship campaigns in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital.

Mercy Chinwo performs at PDP rally in Akwa Ibom on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.


Political parties are wont to invite secular artistes and comedians to spice up their rallies but the PDP in Akwa Ibom departed from the norm with Chinwo’s performance.

The Port Harcourt-born songster, with her signature beret, mounted the colourfully decorated podium at exactly 01:12 pm and became the cynosure of all eyes as her mellifluous voice blended with the sweet rhythm of musical instruments to produce harmonious tunes.

For over 11 minutes, the 32-year-old dazzled Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel; his wife, Martha; and thousands of party loyalists in the state to gospel songs in local dialect and pidgin English.

Some of the songs she sang include ‘See the way you love me…’; ‘Jesus, you love me too much’, amongst others.

“Sister Mercy, this is electrifying,” the governor enthused in his speech after her ministration.

The singer got married to a pastor, Blessed Uzochikwa in August at an elaborate wedding attended by stars including singer and politician, Bankole Wellington aka Banky W.

Mercy avoid Atiku and Tinubu if you still want us to listen to your music. These old men don't listen or promote your music. They need to go and rest. They are too old to lead.

I AM NOT IGBO.


Na last warning be this.


If you ask me to choose the best place to live in Nigeria, I go choose LAGOS

If you ask me to choose the tribe I'd like to marry from, I go choose FULANI. Their women dey fine like angels.

If you ask me my best Nigerian soup, It's AFANG SOUP

BUT

If you ask me to choose between the Presidential candidates, Obi is the best amongst them. It's not about tribe. Obi is not the best Igbo man, he is not the best Nigerian but he's better than Tinubu and Atiku.

;Dthis one don collect money

PDP miscreants are now using money to influence Christians music stars just to score political cheap points .

She's old enough to make her choice. No one should drag her.

As for me, it's Peter Obi I'm voting for. No turning back!

Orukomeno:
;Dthis one don collect money

Normal, I don't see anything wrong with that.

let’s see how u igbos will boycott this again

.

No problem provided she sings Gospel music & not Secular music. Gospel music is a form of evangelism. Who's knows, souls might be won through her ministration.

It's a good development, but she should preach Christ along to avoid derailment. There is a thin line between day and night.

Money

Her husband's bestman (BankyW) is contesting for house of rep under PDP... So.

daughter of devil.

At end of the day, we all need the cash....

Altruism will not put food on anybody table, let's stop being emotional when it comes to one of our idols (flesh and blood like us) choose to pitch their tents with any political parties of their choice.

She is an artist

Make she make her money

Urheaster:
PDP indirectly dragging Christians music stars to a political gathering

The move is dead on arrival

I was there live...Akwa Ibom ayaya

Lol
Maybe she went to preach to Atiku to stop killing Benue people

But seriously
Banky W is in PDP and is a pastor at her husband's church.

They are only ing Banky.

But even Banky will vote Peter Obi for the presidency.
Expect her in Lagos PDP rally too.

She would lose her base very fast. Let her thread carefully.

Inukwa mercy

Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
