Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has been named the
Peoples Democratic Party deputy governorship candidate of Lagos State.
The actress confirmed her deputy governorship candidacy in a
video on her verified Instagram page on Tuesday.
With this position, she had become the running mate of the
PDP Lagos State governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran, popularly called
Jandor.
In the video she posted on Tuesday, she revealed her reasons
for becoming a running mate.
She said, “I saw it as an opportunity to help liberate and
improve the wellbeing of our people, particularly the deprived youth, women and
the girl child.
“My decision is not
just to accept this huge responsibility but to also work tirelessly and
complement Jandor’s burning desire to see our dear Lagos live up to its full
potentials.”
Meanwhile, when she said her name at the end of the video, the Ikorodu-born indigene of Lagos didn’t include her husband’s name, Bello.
This comes two weeks after her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello,
popularly known as JJC Skillz, announced that they have gone their separate ways.
Bello, who confirmed the separation in an Instagram post on
July 1, said things had not been going well between him and the actress in the
last two years, adding that all efforts expended on reconciling their
differences had proved abortive.
The actress, however, has remained silent on her separation
from her husband as she is yet to address Bello’s claims.
