Star actress and Deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State, Funke Akindele, has threatened to defeat the All Progressives Congress with her social media followers.
Many believe that the APC’s candidate, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has a better chance of winning based on how entrenched the party is.
But Funke insists she has more than 20 million followers to push her, while noting she has fans in the grassroots too.
She, however, did not say whether or not all the followers are eligible Lagosians, or whether there are no APC members among them.
Reacting to a statement by the APC, saying she has noting to offer, she says during an interview on Channels Television: “I have the numbers, I have fans and followers and I’m true to myself.
“I have more than 20m fans on social media and also at the grassroots level.
“I have fans at the grassroots level outside Ikorodu ready to support me and I’m true to myself. What I’m coming in is to change the lives of Lagosians.
“I’m here to provide solutions in Lagos. I’m in the system, I’m in the pain, we all know where the shoe pinches us.”
