The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) selection of Funke Akindele as its deputy governorship candidate highlights the PDP’s lack of seriousness, according to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagso State.
Following Funke Akindele’s confirmation of her entry into politics, Mr. Seye Oladejo, the party’s spokesman, made this statement.
In his words, the PDP was “giving political neophytes who have absolutely nothing to bring to the table their electoral tickets,” thus trivalizing the election.
If the party could give the governorship ticket to a member who crossed the carpet a few days before their primaries and then went to the make-believe industry to fetch a deputy, he continued, “it also shows lack of depth in the party as regards quality members to put forward for elections.”
He emphasised that government was a serious matter, not a circus.
“I found it amusing to learn that the deputy governorship candidate intended to put her acting career on hold in order to focus on the elections, the outcome of which is very likely.
He continued, “I guess she’s suspending a lot more because she’s been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons.
Residents of Lagos, he said, will not permit the state’s governance to be turned into a pointless experiment.
