More Crises In Lagos PDP Camp As Entertainers Dump Funke Akindele
OpenLife Nigeria reports that barley few days when Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), told his supporters that it is disrespectful to mention Nollywood actress and People Democratic Party’s Lagos gubernatorial running mate Funke Akindele in his presence, nollywood stars in the same entertainment industry with Funke Akindele, on Friday, openly dumped the celebrated actress and drum up supports for the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The nollywood actors under the auspices of The Progressive Coalition of Entertainers, led by Saheed Balogun made their support public during a courtesy visit to the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa on Friday at the assembly’s complex in Lagos.
Balogun said the group of over 60 celebrities had come to endorse Tinubu because of his impact on the development of Lagos.
Balogun noted that Tinubu laid the foundation that successive governments are building on, putting Lagos in an enviable position among other states.
He said, “Since the campaign has commenced, the artists, having large followers on social media, see it as an opportunity to reach out and engage prospective voters.
“This is because we see Tinubu as one who had done a lot to qualify as the next president of Nigeria and we hope to continue to release the presidential candidate’s achievements.
“Asiwaju has done well and it is time to pay back. Every successive government continues to build on his foundation,” he said.
