Dear Lagosians, I must share with you all my decision to venture into a more meaningful facet of humanitarian service.
By God’s grace, my 25 year career in entertainment has been very prosperous and has given me the privilege of connecting with people from all walks of life.
During this time, my passion for contributing to the growth of youth, women and children also strengthened.
Coupled with an upbringing dedicated to service to others and value in life, compassion for others is second nature to me.
In her press on Twitter @funkeakindele she continued that when a Lagosian native of Ikorodu was asked to see Dr. Joining Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran (JANDOR) as his running mate for next year’s gubernatorial election, the opportunity to help liberate and improve the welfare of our people could not be ignored.
I found JANDOR young, brave, knowledgeable and compassionate.
Most importantly, his commitment to truly reflecting the wealth of Lagos in the standard of living of all its residents is genuine and remarkable.
My decision is not just to take on this great responsibility.
But to work tirelessly and complement JANDOR’s burning desire to see our beloved state of Lagos reach its full potential, where the people as immediate and direct beneficiaries are the highest priority.
I take this opportunity to appeal to the well-meaning residents of Lagos, especially the youth: there is strength in numbers and we must use this to our advantage.
It is time to bring our rightful people into matters affecting our lives and future.
Over the years, vast numbers of men and women of immense potential have been ignored, harassed, and sometimes killed for daring to dream.
Nothing can justify why our beloved city can be ranked as the second worst city in the world despite our monthly revenues of N45bn.
This is the time to change our history and our lives.
I am acutely aware of the cost of this task and willing to make the personal sacrifice of putting my career on hold in order to serve.
My determination is that no sacrifice is too much for the good of our people and our state.
As a woman, I would like to see a state that values its women, protects girls and has zero tolerance for abuse in any form.
A state where your religion, age or tribe doesn’t matter when it comes to having a fair chance to live your dreams.
I must express my deep appreciation to both our party leadership and our gubernatorial candidate for deeming me worthy of such a great calling to serve our people.
I do not take this responsibility for granted. (Alt. I must express my deep appreciation to both our party leadership and our gubernatorial candidate for deeming me worthy of such a great calling to serve our people.
It is a call I accept with reverence and the utmost responsibility.
Rest assured that the People’s Governor, Dr. Olajide Adediran, in view of your mandate, with the support of yours truly, is bringing a much-needed breath of fresh air to the state of Lagos.
Indeed, we can achieve a Lagos that works for everyone. Let us do this.
