Popular actress, Funke Akindele has revealed her politcal plans.
She said: “I need to support. I need to give back. That’s why I went into politics. Getting into it, seeing violence, and shouting, then I started watching female politicians like Mummy Abike Dabiri and co. The way they speak, and command respect and authority. I’m like, you too go, you can do it.”
“And I stood and spoke. I learnt that from there that you have to be bold, courageous, and strong. What would be would be. Fear will only put you in a place. So, all this I learnt from doing politics, and I got to know a lot of numbers.”
“I got educated more and acquired more knowledge. You know, I’m reading more and knowing more about my country and my state. When I want to speak, I speak with statistics data.”
“So, I’m glad that I went into politics. And ask me if I am going to do it again? Oh, yes”.
For those who don’t know, the actress served as the deputy governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State alongside Jandor (Abdulazeez Adediran).
But she went off the political radar after their electoral loss to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Also, Akindele after the defeat wiped her social media accounts of all politically related content.
