Ahead of the 2023 elections, Nollywood actress and aspiring Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Funke Akindele has sent a strong message to Lagosians.

Jameela News reports that Funke Akindele who is the running mate of Dr Abdul Azeez Olajide Adediran, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate laments the need for “A breathe of fresh air” in the state.

The actress said this while stating her mandate as a proposed Deputy Governor of the State of Excellence.

She said:

“Over the years, a great number of men and women with immense potential have been ignored, victimized, and sometimes killed, for daring to dream.

The Jennifer Diary star actor noted that as a woman she strongly desires a Lagos State that has respect and empowerment programmes for women and the girl child, which is still marginalized in Lagos State under Governor Sanwo Olu’s administration.

“As a woman, I strongly desire a state that values her women, protects the girl child and has zero-tolerance for abuse in any form. A state where your religion, age or tribe is a non-factor in having a fair chance of living your dreams.

“This is the time to change our story and our lives. I am greatly aware of the cost of this assignment and prepared to make the personal sacrifice of putting my career on hold, to serve. My resolve is that no sacrifice is too much for the good of our people and state.

“I use this opportunity to appeal to the well-meaning residents of Lagos, especially the youth: There is strength in numbers, and we must use this to our advantage. It is time to take our rightful people in matters that concern our lives and our future.”
