365Daily – Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has disclosed that she is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy governorship candidate of Lagos State.
She made the disclosure on Tuesday in a video on her verified Instagram page on Tuesday.
PDP’s Lagos State governorship candidate is Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor.
Speaking on her foray into politics, 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 is coming barely 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 gone sour between him and the actress in the last two years, with all efforts expended on reconciling their differences abortive.
The actress has not commented on her separation claims.
