Famous Nigerian actress Funke Akindele has disclosed her political plans following a previous unsuccessful attempt.
It would be recalled that the actress-turned-politician was the running mate to the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2023, Abdulazeez Adediran.
Responding to her loss during her latest interview at the inaugural live edition of the podcast ‘WithChude,’ the actress announced plans to contest again.
While noting that her decision to go into politics was to support and give back to society, Akindele commended female politicians like Abike Dabiri for the impact they have made.
The popular Nigerian actress further said politics has taught her to bold, courageous, and strong, stressing that what would be would be and that fear would only make one isolated.
So, all this I learned from doing politics, and I got to know a lot of numbers. I got educated more and acquired more knowledge. You know, I’m reading more and knowing more about my country and my state. When I want to speak, I speak with statistical data. So, I’m glad that I went into politics. And ask me if I am going to do it again? Oh, yes,” Akindele stated.
