I Don’t Regret Running For Office - Funke Akindele Breaks Silence On Election Loss

Funke Akindele, the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, has talked about her involvement in the election. She broke her silence on her defeat in the March 18 elections, stating that she doesn’t regret running for office. Akindele and her principal, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, were defeated by the incumbent governor and All Progressives Congress candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

On her Instagram page on Monday, she wrote, “It has been an amazing and insightful experience on my journey to the ballot, and I must say, it was an absolute learning curve for me. A lot of things have been learned and unlearned. I sincerely do not regret taking this huge step of running for office.

“I, therefore, want to thank the people of Lagos state for believing in me and supporting my decision to run for office. I saw every message of support online and offline, I heard of all the places where people supported me and challenged those who tried to discredit me.

“I remember every warm welcome during our campaign tour and the faith you all showed in me. The elections might not have panned out in the way we hoped, but it was an honorable run for us. We fought a good fight indeed, as a matter of fact.

“I also want to encourage all who mean well for the Nation and the state of Lagos not to give up. I understand that some of us are beginning to develop some sort of apathy toward the system. However, if we do not speak, we will never be heard. I’m glad that we could at least speak up.”

If you regret nko? Who cares! Se be we told you say your sojourn into politics was dead on arrival and that elections aren't won on social media but you were deluded by your useless 15M social media following. Politics is real life girl, not scripted Nollywood movie. Hopefully, you've learned your lesson and will now face your true calling.
