Popular Nollywood actress and producer of “Jenifa's Diary”, Funke Akindele, has finally confirmed news that she has joined politics and will be contesting under the umbrella of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The actress finally shared a statement which revealed why she decided to be the running mate to the PDP governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran, more commonly called Jandor.
Funke also revealed that her career as an actress would take the back seat as she begins the journey to make Lagos a better place.
SaharaReporters had reported that Akindele emerged as the running mate to the Lagos State opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran.
Akindele was among the candidates listed as possible running mate to Adediran a few days ago but has now emerged as the preferred candidate.

Sources close to the party’s governorship candidate and the leadership of the party had confirmed Akindele's choice as running mate, saying that she would be unveiled soon as “it has not been announced officially.”
