One of the main supporters of Erica is BBAfrica star, Uti Nwachukwu, many waited to see how he will react to her eviction. He did not disappoint as he tweeted;
“Erica leaving the #Bbnaija house is actually a good thing for her. I don’t think she could have handled the roller coaster of emotions coming. This is good for her mental health and I know she would remorsefully learn from this and rise. I ask that we please be compassionate”

Tweeting, Rico wrote: “I’m actually sad about what is happening with Erica. #BigBrotherNaija
“Erica could have easily made it to finals and probably win it.
