Good luck to her. Failure in marriage does not in any way mean she will fail in politics; she has managed her company and acting career successfully after all, the likes of Dangote, Ellon Musk, Mandela, et all all failed in marriage.
Na men you mentioned so na...

Lagos pdp is connected through their umbilical cord to tinubu. He controls their activities.
God knows how much apc would give pdp to complain with in next election.

Someone that can't manage her home wants to manage Lagos State?

I'm Obidently yusful but I'm standing with sawon olu for governor and Peter Obi for president.
Hmmmm! Some people don't even know why they want what they want. People perish for lack of knowledge.
What has marital problem got to do with delivering good governance in Nigeria? Are all those who have grounded Nigeria since Independence divorcees? Let's all wake up and stop baseless critism because every marriage goes through turbulent times.

Have you imagine how PDP can win Lagos governorship election when tinubu the APC Lagos master is still in charge of Lagos .how

Fashola was never in politics before he became the governor of Lagos state and he's my favourite among them, osibanjo too was never in politics before he became the vice president, so I see no reason why funke akindele can give it a trial as well


DrTee1:
This whole thing is becoming a charade. This is with all due respect to Ms Akindele's person.

However, a Deputy Governor candidate in one of the two major political parties, in fact the known opposition party in Lagos State - is as good as a Governor.

It isn't something that is done as an after-thought. Such role has to be filled by a person who has been in, about and around governance and who understands his/her role in delivering excellent service to the populace at the level and functionality of a State Governor.

As far as I know, BankyW fits that - if it comes to a popularity contest on the strength of fame in the entertainment industry as a leverage to tilt electoral victory in the PDP's favour - than Ms Akindele. Banky had been in the political 'trenches' for at least one cycle, and understands the dynamics of same. This 'emergency' politician in Jenifa reeks of unpreparedness in the PDP camp.

Running a small to medium-scale NGO in Lagos is a world apart from running the governance of Lagos State, the second largest economy in West Africa after Nigeria as a Country, from Alausa.

Marital problem has everything to do with it.

As deputy governor she would be representing the governor on a lot of female matters. How exactly is she going to advise mothers on how to sustain their marriage when clearly she couldn't keep hers?

Hello Shady,

Thanks for this feedback. I appreciate it.
However, if you read what I initially wrote, you may realise that I accommodated your sentiments - for its veracity.

Mr. Fashola as well as Prof Osinbajo were in and around governance and administration at high levels - both being Senior Advocates of the Federation - before they were voted into political offices. Both had worked as members of State cabinets in Lagos State, for example, amongst other roles.

I hope I am better understood.

Kind regards.

Why am i laughing? Why am i not taking her and PDP serious. Is this comedy?

Politics is about the numbers, governance is another thing.

In Nigeria today, the essence of Deputy Governor or Vice president is to attract more votes.


That was why Tinubu left competent people to pick a Boko Haram leader like Shetimma.


That is why PDP is also picking Funke Akindele.

If the entertainment industry will queue behind her, she could gather the much needed vote.


Sanwo-Olu has done poorly, he should not be rewarded for his poor performance.


PDP may not be the best, but not certainly a Sanwo-Olu who has reduced governance in Lagos since 1999

The fact that her marriage seems to have failed does not make her a bad woman or irresponsible woman. You are not in her marriage, hence, you cannot tell what outplays in it. Marital issues sometimes are incomprehensible and that's why the outsiders are not eligible to nose into it.

If you have been married, you will understand better.
