Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Pere Egbi has slammed Nigerians who are attacking his colleague, Cross Okonkwo, for endorsing the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.
On Wednesday, the former BBNaija housemate had shared a screenshot of the video call he had with the vice-president in what seemed like an endorsement.
Sharing the screenshot on his Twitter page, Okonkwo revealed that he had spoken with Atiku, who he described as his father, before proceeding to ask who the public thought would be the politician’s running partner.
“Had a quick chat with my dad, Atiku. He’s so funny guys. Who do you think his Vp will be? Just thinking out loud,” he wrote.
The endorsement sparked outrage on Twitter with some Nigerians slamming the reality star, whike others alleged that “brown envelopes” have changed hands.
Reacting on his Twitter page, the movie star defended his colleague saying that the reality star is at liberty to choose his preferred candidate.
Pere wrote, “Cross is free just like every Nigerian citizen to support whoever he feels. Everyone should have a choice and support whoever they want. Period. No apologies.”
