Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, aka Jenifa, has emerged as the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State.
The actress emerged as the PDP deputy governorship candidate to Olajide Adediran, popularly known as Jandor, on Wednesday.
Akindele shrugged off stiff competition from other four contestants, who were also shortlisted for the deputy governorship candidate position.
Following a tough screening exercise, Akindele was chosen as the PDP deputy governorship candidate in Lagos, defeating former governorship aspirant, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour.
Former senatorial candidate for Lagos East, Yeye Shobajo; another governorship aspirant, David Kolawole Vaughan, known as DAKOVA; and Engr. Teslim Balogun were also shortlisted for the position.
