Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has hit back at a social media influencer, Wale Akerele for calling her an ‘ashawo’ (prostitute) over her preferred presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Regardless of her pleas for peace, a popular social media influencer, Wale Akerele called her out, rained abuses on her for choosing Peter Obi over Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Asiwaju).
Wale Akerele further called Iyabo Ojo, a prostitute over her choice of candidate. Sharing his post and slamming him in response, the actress wrote:
“Who is this one, animal, place, or thing?……….. Akowere, trust me, you’re a product of Alasewo bcos your mother, wife & sidehens are all bonafide memebers.”
