My Latest Movie A farewell, I’m Next Lagos State Deputy Governor – Funke Akindele

Popular Nollywood Actress cum politician, Funke Akindele, says she will be the next Lagos State deputy governor.

 

In an interview with Punch, the movie star expressed her optimism about her political bid as she describes her latest movie, ‘Battle on Buka Street’,  as a farewell project in the movie industry

Akindele also said she has “passed the baton of production” to the young ones in the industry in order to focus on her political aspiration.

According to her, “A great change has happened positively if you noticed. From being an actor, I also write, produce, direct and discover new faces. So, I have passed the baton of production to the young people because I have moved into politics now.

“So, ‘Battle on Buka Street’ is like a farewell because I am going to be the next deputy governor of Lagos State. So, I am passing the baton to the new ones because we need to give them an opportunity.

“Yes, I will be in the background to advise and supervise them, but let them be the face, let us celebrate them, are you not tired of seeing old faces?”

This online platform recalls that in July, Akindele confirmed she is the Lagos state deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ahead of the 2023 election.
