Funke Akindele: Lagos PDP clears air on Nollywood star’s choice as running-mate to Guber candidate, Jandor

By Dayo Badmus,

The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the governorship candidate of the party, Dr. Olajide Adediran, has not named Nollywood actress Funke Akindele as his running mate.

The Publicity Secretary of the party in Lagos, Mr Hakeem Amode, said the party was not aware of any running mate yet.

Amode was reacting to reported emergence of Akindele, as running-mate nominee to the PDP governorship candidate.

According to him, the candidate will soon announce his running mate without delay and everybody will know.

“It is not in my place to announce who the running mate to our governorship candidate, Jandor, is. Let us wait for the candidate himself to announce.

“Has the candidate of the party announced anywhere that he has picked his own running mate?

“What you are reading online on this, is it from the candidate of the party?

“The candidate of the party will announce who his running mate is and he has not done that. We should wait for the official announcement,” Amode said.

News filtered in late wednesday that, the Ikorodu born moviestar had emerged deputy governorship candidate of the party.
