Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele has emerged favourite to become the running mate to Lagos PDP governorship candidate, Olajide Adediran.
The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has shortlisted five names as the potential running mate of the party’s governorship candidate popularly known as Jandor.
Also shortlisted are: former governorship aspirant, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour; former Senatorial candidate for Lagos East, Yeye Shobajo, another governorship aspirant, David Kolawole Vaughan known as DAKOVA, and Engr. Teslim Balogun.
