The All Progressives Congress, (APC), Lagos State chapter has stated that the nomination of Funke Akindele as deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), underscores the unseriousness of the party.
Recall that Funke akindele on Tuesday via her Instagram page confirmed that she has been chosen as a running mate to Dr Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor.

Mr. Seye Oladejo, the Spokesman of the party, said this in a statement while reacting to the nomination of Funke Akindele as the running mate to PDP governorship candidate, Dr Abdulaziz Olajide Adediran.
Oladejo said, “This amounts to trivializing the importance of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections by giving political neophytes who have absolutely nothing to bring to the table their electoral tickets.
“It also shows lack of depth in the party as regards quality members to put forward for elections if they could give a member who crossed-carpeted a few days before their primaries the governorship ticket and now went to the make-believe industry to fetch a deputy,” he added.
He stressed that governance was serious business not a circus.
“I was amused to read that the deputy governorship candidate said she was suspending her acting career for the elections whose result is highly predictable.
“I guess she is suspending a lot more because she has been in the news of recent for all the wrong reasons,” he added.
“Lagosians will certainly not allow governance to be turned to a needless experiment or a sitcom. Governance is serious business not a circus.
“Congratulations in advance to the duo of Governor Babajide SANWOOLU-olu and his deputy, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat.”
