Just In : Party Named Funke Akindele As Potential Governor Running Mate
The people Democratic party of Lagos State Nominates Actress Nollywood, Funke Akindele As Potential Running Mate .
The names that have been shortlisted include Nollywood actress Olufunke Akindele, also known as Jenifa, former senatorial candidate for Lagos East Yeye Shobajo, former governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, current governorship candidate David Kolawole Vaughan, also known as DAKOVA, and engineer Teslim Balogun.
After a photo of Jandor and her went viral on Friday, Akindele might have been chosen as the deputy governorship candidate.
According to checks conducted by a Daily Trust correspondent, the actress was just mentioned as a potential running mate, and the governorship candidate’s choice of the running mate has not yet been made.
It was learned that a committee had been established to assess the applicants and choose the most qualified one to be Jandor’s running mate.
A meeting of party stakeholders is currently taking place to choose one of the nominees as of the time this report was filed.
However, it was discovered that Lagos West, where two of the shortlisted candidates, Rhodes-Vivour and Kolawole are from, is the same senatorial district as Jandor, which may be detrimental to those candidates’ chances.
Yeye Shobajo and Funke Akindele are from the East, while Balogun is from Lagos Central.
