Ikorodu Indigene and Nollywood Actress, Funke Akindele has revealed that she made a “big’ in sacrifice in leaving her multi-million naira job to vie for the office of Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

It will be recalled that Akindele was recently declared by the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Dr. Olajide Adediran aka Jando as his running mate ahead of the polls in 2023.

She also recently took her campaign train to Ikorodu where she was warmly received by the people of the town where she hails from.

Speaking during the rally, she expressed optimism over winning the election, vowing to fix anomalies in the state.

Akindele stated that her ascension as the deputy governor will see her support talents and women.

She said, “I am really happy for the turnout of Ikorodu people. This is something that God has ordained.

“I have accepted (to be PDP Deputy Governorship candidate of the party) and I am lifting the party’s flag

“Now, I have to leave the job which is a big sacrifice. This is a job that I usually get big endorsements that worth millions because I want to go into politics with ‘Jandor’ in liberating our people. What sacrifice can be more than this?

“We are not only going into the election but also going to win and constitute the government. We are going to fix all the bad roads and you need to start writing them down and get them across to us.”

On women and talents, she said, “I am going into government for women because we also needed to be empowered. I am going there for our children, especially girl – child. Girls too can make it in life.

“I am also going to be the Deputy Governor for the youths, for Ikorodu people and entire Lagosians. We have to support our talented youths and now is the time for us to help them to export their talents.”
