Funke Akindele says God called her and Abdul-Azeez Adediran
to change the story of Lagos.
Akindele, who is a famed Nollywood actress, and Adediran are
running mates for the 2023 Lagos governorship election under the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
Adediran is the governorship candidate while Akindele is his
deputy.
Akindele spoke on Sunday at the worship service of a
Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church in the Surulere district of its Badagry
circuit headquarters.
The actress-turned-politician declared that God has been
with her right from birth.
She said God is interested in her aspirations to make Lagos
work for all segments and divisions.
“He chose me to be the deputy governorship candidate of the
PDP, despite the crowd that struggled to be chosen,” Akindele added.
“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 for the better. The success of Lagos state is
ours.”
Akindele and her running mate flagged off their campaigns
last Wednesday.
This marked the beginning of their tour of 245 wards across
the 20 local government areas of Lagos.
Funke Akindele has been touring markets and churches to seek
support ahead of the general elections in 2023.
Adediran, in turn, has continued to hold meetings with critical community stakeholders and groups.
