Popular Nigerian actress-turned-politician Funke Akindele has opened up about her future political ambitions after a previous unsuccessful run.

She had contested as the deputy governorship candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State during the 2023 elections, running alongside Abdulazeez Adediran. They lost to Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

After the defeat, Akindele removed all politically related content from her social media platforms and remained quiet on the subject.

However, during a recent appearance on the first live edition of the WithChude podcast, she broke her silence and revealed that she intends to contest again in the future.

She said: “I need to support. I need to give back. That’s why I went into politics. Getting into it, seeing violence, and shouting, then I started watching female politicians like Mummy Abike Dabiri and co. The way they speak, and command respect and authority. I’m like, you too go, you can do it.

“And I stood and spoke. I learnt that from there that you have to be bold, courageous, and strong. What would be would be. Fear will only put you in a place. So, all this I learnt from doing politics, and I got to know a lot of numbers. I got educated more and acquired more knowledge. You know, I’m reading more and knowing more about my country and my state. When I want to speak, I speak with statistics data. So, I’m glad that I went into politics. And ask me if I am going to do it again? Oh, yes”.
