I’ll contest again – Funke Akindele announces political plans [VIDEO]

Famous Nigerian actress-turned-politician Funke Akindele has revealed her political plans following a previous unsuccessful attempt.

DAILY POST recalls that the actress was the running mate to Abdulazeez Adediran, the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2023.

Following their defeat by Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Funke Akindele took to her social media page to delete all politically related posts.

However, responding to her loss during her latest interview at the inaugural live edition of the ‘WithChude’ podcast, the actress — who had remained silent on political matters since 2023 — announced plans to contest again.

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”.
