Her words: “I saw it as an opportunity to help liberate and improve the wellbeing of our people, particularly the deprived youth, women and the girl child.
“My decision is not just to accept this huge responsibility but to also work tirelessly and complement Jandor’s burning desire to see our dear Lagos live up to its full potential.”
Akindele will be officially unveiled as running mate to Jandor in Ikorodu later today.
The event, which is coming up at the residence of the apex leader of Lagos4Lagos Movement, late Mrs Adenrele Ogunsanya, Ikorodu, is scheduled for 11 am.
NOW IS THE TIME TO TURN GOVENANCE INTO A CHILD’S PLAY.
For the girl child, while others do not matter.
IT IS MOST INSULTING AND INSENSITIVE TO ATTEMPT TO FOIST AN EX-CONVICT OF MISDEMEANOR ON LAGOS STATE, CONSIDERED TO BE STATE OF EXCELLENCE.
Funke Akindele was charged with the responsibility of an ambassador of goodwill and exemplary conduct for the state. A LITTLE RESPONSIBILITY she FAILED to execute in an extraordinary manner. Why any right-thinking person would show this as workable is both amusing and baffling. NOT WELL THOUGHT OUT. From the pool of warped senses, a duo of IRRATIONAL outlook. If you put these baby brains in charge in Lagos means you do not mean well for the state. May God forbid these debilitating team.
WHAT ARE THE CREDENTIALS THAT PROPELLED THIS AWKWARD AWFUL MISFIT?
