Popular Nollywood actress Funke Akindele, who is running for deputy governor of Lagos on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ticket, is confident of success in the title race.
Funke Akindele brazenly asserted during an interview with Channels TV on Thursday that she has what it takes to help her political party win.
Revealing how she will win the election, the mother of two was positive her over 15 million fans on social media give her an edge over her contenders, and in addition to having a large online following, Funke mentioned that she also has grassroots supporters.
“I have these fans and followers. I feel their pains. I hear people nag. I watch TV; I feel their pain. I’m going out there to proffer solutions,” she said.
“I’m going there for my fans, my followers, for Lagosians. It’s time for a change, for change for the youth, for women.
“Over seven years, Dr. Abdul-Azeez has been building this structure. He knows them; he knows what they need.
“I have the numbers. I have fans and followers. I’m true to myself. I have over 19 to 20 million fans on social media. There are a lot of people in the grassroots. Outside of Ikorodu, I have fans at the grassroots level everywhere.”
