It was gathered that this is not the first time a state governor would appoint a prominent actress as an aide on entertainment.
In 2017, former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello appointed Mercy Johnson-Okogie, as his senior special assistant on entertainment, arts and culture. However, the actress said she was not interested in active politics, precisely being partisan due to her influence in the movie industry.
