Olajide Adediran, the Peoples Democratic Party Lagos State governorship candidate, has given the reason why the party chose actress Funke Akindele as his running mate.

Adediran (Jandor) explained that the actress will add more value to his candidacy in the forthcoming 2023 election than anyone else.

The Lagos PDP guber flagbearer expressed this on his Twitter thread on Tuesday as follows:

I appeal to the entire populace to work with me and my running mate, who will add more value to my candidacy.

My choice running mate is from the clear understanding of the task ahead and the need to work with a co-visionary with shared passion for the emancipation of the good people of Lagos.

This journey demands focus, resilience and tenacity. My running mate is someone who is large-hearted with a well-known history of service and advocacy.

An Ikorodu-born success story who has, through several of her projects, positively transformed our society.

I am proud to present Barrister Olufunke Ayotunde Akindele as my running mate and the Deputy Governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party in Lagos for the 2023 general elections.

Together, we will serve and offer you a breath of fresh air.

When Akindele spoke to confirm accepting the candidacy, she used the opportunity to inform her fans that she was stepping down from her acting career.
