Workers of Ero-Arike herbal balm have appealed to Nigerians to continue patronising the product despite backlash against its owner, Falilat Oyetunji, popularly known as Ero-Arike, over her involvement in the recently concluded Osun State governorship election.
In a video circulating on social media, a group of women holding containers of the balm could be seen singing and pleading with members of the public not to allow the political controversy surrounding Oyetunji to affect the business.
The women, who identified themselves as beneficiaries and marketers of the business, said the company had provided livelihoods and supported families.
One of the women, speaking in Yoruba, said she had been widowed for five years and claimed that Oyetunji had helped her build a house, stock her business and pay for her children’s education.
