Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, says she is putting her acting career on hold to play active role in Lagos State’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship race.
In a video posted on her Instagram on Tuesday, Funke talked about her PDP deputy governorship candidacy.
She said that her acting career must be “necessarily put on hold,” adding that this was a sacrifice she had to make to “rescue” the people of Lagos State.
The actress said, “I am not unaware of the cost of this assignment on my vibrant career, which I must now necessarily put on hold.
“It’s a huge personal sacrifice. My resolve is that no sacrifice is too huge for the actualisation of the urgent mission to rescue our people and our dear state.”
The ‘Jenifa’ star says she sees 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,” she said.
