Lanre Gentry, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has declared his ambition to run in the September 22 governorship election in Osun State. Lanre Gentry made the declaration on Thursday via his official Instagram page.
From the pictures he shared on his page, the hotelier will be running under the platform of United Democratic Party,UDP.
Last year, Lanre Gentry’s marriage to Mercy Aigbe went through a rough path as she was allegedly beaten by him. The actress shared a video of the injuries she sustained as a result of the domestic violence she claimed he perpetrated on her. Shortly after the incidence, Mercy moved out of her matrimonial home and unfollowed him on social media. Speaking on the beating, she said,
“He beats me consistently.
“I stayed because I loved him and because everytime he beats me, he begs and gets family and friends to beg me. He promised regularly to change but he never did. When my husband gets angry, he gets physical, not only to me but to anyone. He has done that with my house help who reported him to the Police years ago”.
