Nollywood actress and filmmaker Funke Akindele has declared her readiness to return to politics.
Akindele, who was the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State during the 2023 general election, disclosed this during a recent interview with media entrepreneur Chude Jideonwo at the WithChude Live show.
The famous actress stressed that her journey in politics is far from over, saying: “I am learning – about my state, about my country. So that when I speak again in the future, I can back it up with statistics.
“Ask me if I will go back into politics again – my answer is yes, I will.”
Akindele, who also spoke about mental health, depression, and the intense pressure of public life, added: “I see all the insults on social media.
“I am a strong woman, but it got to a stage when I almost lost it mentally. When people called me out for something I did not do —when an actress on Jenifa’s Diary passed on and people said I did not help her… and I was already depressed myself.”
