Akindele, in a video posted on Tuesday via her Instagram page, disclosed that she would be putting a hold on her career as an actress and will venture into politics to cause a change to improve the welfare of Lagosians.
She asked that youths rally around her and governorship candidate, Dr Olajide Adediran known as Jendor to achieve a better Lagos
“I am a Lagosian born out of Ikorodu so when the PDP gubernatorial candidate asked me to be his deputy governor I saw it as an opportunity to help liberate and improve the welfare of our people, particularly the deprived youth, women, and girl child.
“My decision is not only to accept this huge responsibility to see our dear Lagos live up to its full potential with the people as its immediate beneficiaries.
“Over the years a lot of youths have been ignored victimised for daring to have a dream so I use this opportunity to call out all well-meaning residents of the nation, especially the youths. It’s indeed time to use our numerical strength to our full advantage and time to rally ourselves and support our own.
“I’m not unaware of the cost of this assignment on my vibrant career which I must now necessarily put on hold its a huge personal sacrifice but my resolve is no sacrifice is too much for the actualisation of the urgent mission to rescue our people and dear state.
“It is a call I take with reverence and utmost sense of responsibility. Indeed we can achieve a Lagos for all our residents.”

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to here.. Okiroyalty
ReplyDeleteTo her I mean * Okiroyalty
DeleteCongratulations 🎉👏
DeleteFunke promise me one thing and you will get our votes,remodel ikorodu,roads and layouts,don't be a bastard ooo,you're from Ikorodu,bona-fide ômó koodu ôga
DeleteSanwo Eko is not doing the job given to him by Lagosians, I hope he won't win it. I wonder if Jendor can. Lafunky, I like you though I don't like your party but let the best person for the job win it.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Cynthia ,he will definitely win. Not even with this PDP combo.
DeleteThat explains the coverup charade she has been putting up with for awhile now.
ReplyDeleteThe reason she still had to pretend married to be in the good books.
Same reason she never replied any of them.
A strategic woman,I stan.
This is the real funke. No editing. Raw. Anyways good luck to you on your political ride.
ReplyDelete🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteGood for her.
ReplyDeleteFunke!
ReplyDeleteIf she wins, all those exes should prepare to go to jail. period.
Ah! Did I say period?
Lol. Comedians everywhere
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteA comedian is Ukraine's president.
George Weah(An ex footballer) is Libera's president.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was a governor.
It is getting more interesting
ReplyDeleteGood luck to her
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I hope she wins this.
DeleteOkay 👍,wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Funke
ReplyDeleteMore grease to your elbow
ReplyDeleteThe only reason these actors/actresses are venturing into politics is because of the money and not because they are ready to bring substantial and positive changes. They are recruited because they have a large following and not because of merit or capabilities.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely true
DeleteBanky o,Desmond o,Tonto o and Funke are all in for the cash that comes with politics.
I do not believe there's any genuine change that they can bring.
Let's watch and see
What about the non actors?
DeleteWhat good have they done?
Abi. Nollywood is so funny. I remember when they all ventured into music too, around that 2005 era. Can't remember who started it, next thing all of them enter studio. Watch out for all of them to enter politics now
DeleteYou are absolutely correct.
DeleteNa from nollymolly to politricks now.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Funke and all the others.
PDP is obviously not ready to hijack Lagos from APC. I mean ,what is this! Funke Akindele as deputy! Sanwo-Olu will def win again. PDP should come back in 4 yrs time when they are ready. For now, they are not.
ReplyDeleteAre you from Lagos? That you are trying to tell her she can’t contest in her father’s land? If you don’t like it, relocate to your state and protests. Funks is from Ikorodu and a huge block of votes there will go to her! She’s a big threat let me tell you!
DeleteExactly. Sanwo-Olu is definitely winning again.
DeleteI wish you the very best
ReplyDeleteWhy is one of her eye like that? Abi she recieve blow ni
ReplyDeleteI thought same when I saw her video.
DeleteTrust me, her eyes have always been like that just like her signature "mouth pout". Check all of her other pictures.
DeleteShe won't work, simple.
ReplyDeleteIf you doubt me , ask Desmond
She is an ex convict, she will be disqualified
ReplyDelete😅
DeleteLmaoooooo
DeleteGood luck to her.
ReplyDeleteGood for you o
ReplyDeleteAm happy for her growth, from I NEED TO KNOW ACTRESS to a super star now venturing into politics and aspiring to be a deputy Governor, if life could be good like dis, why do we even have any reason to Japa, lucky you dear!
ReplyDeleteAll the best
ReplyDeleteI hope her previous conviction won't be an issue. Her lawyers and those of the PDP would have raised the issue and found a way out.
ReplyDeleteShe would have made a nice deputy if only Jandor isn't mole in the PDP.
ReplyDeleteShe's got a very strong and likeable personality.
Her career trajectory from 'I need to know' to Jenifa is something worth selling to every girl child.
It's just unfortunate that Jandor is being used by BAT to bring down the opposition in Lagos, only those who haven't been observant of Lagos politics will disagree.
Who remembers Afikuyomi being the candidate of ANPP with so much razzmatazz?
You're so smart. Serial Governorship candidate Jimi Agbaje was a mole in PDP for 15years,he has joined APC last week 🤷🤷🤷🤷
DeleteOhh, he has finally joined his real party?. I know Jimi has been a mole since forever.
DeleteEbikzy1, u've just summed it up.
DeleteLet Funke not go and waste her hard earned money on a jamboree; having at best, 'one time deputy governorship aspirant' added to her cv.
