The Lagos state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied nominating actress Funke Akindele as Olajide Adeniran’s running mate, the party’s gubernatorial candidate.
The party’s publicity secretary, Hakeem Amode, as reported by The Nation, said PDP was not aware of any running mate yet.
The party was reacting to a report that claimed the emergence of Akindele as its deputy governorship candidate in the 2023 gubernatorial election.
Amode said it is not the responsibility of anyone to announce the party’s deputy governorship candidate yet, urging the people to wait for Jandor to announce his deputy.
“The candidate will announce who his running mate is and he has not done that. We should wait for the official announcement.”
A party chieftain also revealed that he was not certain about the choice of the actress as running mate.
He said he only read the report on social media but maintained that social media would not be the right channel to announce a running mate.
Efforts to speak with Adeniran were unsuccessful as repeated calls to his phone were not answered.
