Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele has disclosed that accepting to be the People’s Democratic Party(PDP) deputy governorship candidate is a huge personal sacrifice on his acting career.
The star actress who confirmed the rumour making the round suggesting her being nominated as runningmate to the PDP gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State , Olajide Adediran.(JANDOR) said “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.
Confirming the development in a video she posted on the social media on Tuesday, said she was joining in the mission to rescue Lagos that she was not unaware of the cost of the assignment on her vibrant career, “which I must now necessarily put on hold.”
“It is a call I take with reverence and utmost sense of responsibility. Indeed we can achieve a Lagos for all our residents.”
“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.”
Akindele said: “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.
