2023: God called me, Jandor to change Lagos – Funke Akindele

The deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Funke Akindele, says God called her and her boss, Abdul-Azeez Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, to change the story of the state ahead of the 2023 general election.

Akindele, a popular Nollywood actress, said this at the Sunday worship service of the Ayo Ni O Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere district, Lagos State.

She stated that God has been with her from birth, saying He is interested in her aspirations to make Lagos State work for all segments and divisions of the state.

“God has been with me from infant till I went to school and till now. He chose me to be the deputy governorship candidate of the PDP,  despite the crowd that struggled to be chosen.

“I give God all the glory for what he has done. God has always been doing the best for me.

“We were called by God, if not we would have backed out. People have suffered but God has called us and put us forward to come and change the story of Lagos state to better. The success of Lagos State is ours,” the famous actress said.

Akindele further thanked the church leaders for prayers and support.

Adediran and Akindele flagged off their campaigns on Wednesday to begin the tour of 245 wards across the 20 local government areas of the state.

While Adediran continued to hold meetings with critical community stakeholders and groups in the area, Akindele had been touring various markets and churches to seek support ahead of the 2023 general election.
