Deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State Funke Akindele on Sunday said that she and the party’s governorship candidate, Abdul-Azeez Adediran aka Jandor, were called by God to change the story of the state.
The actress spoke at the Sunday worship service of Ayo Ni O Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere District, Badagry Circuit Headquarters.
According to her, God has been with her right from birth and He is interested in her aspirations to make Lagos State work for all.
Funke said, “God has been with me from infant till I went to school and till now. He chose me to be the deputy governorship candidate of the PDP despite the crowd that struggled to be chosen.
“I give God all the glory for what he has done. God has always been doing the best for me.
“We were called by God, if not we would have backed out. People have suffered but God has called us and put us forward to come and change the story of Lagos State for better. The success of Lagos State is ours.”
Funke thanked the church leaders for their prayers and support.

Leading a congregational prayer session for the actress, Snr Apostle Akinwale Pearse, the Chairman, the Caretaker Committee of the church, urged members of the church to pray to God to fulfil the aspirations of the deputy governorship candidate.
Speaking, Sunday Hunyinbo, the Chairman, the Christian Association of Nigeria, Badagry Local Government Area, commended Funke and Jandor for seeking God and his blessings in their aspirations.
Hunyinbo urged the deputy governorship candidate and her principal to live the talk and fulfil all the promises made to the people during their campaigns if they emerge victorious in 2023.
“This time around it should not be business as usual. I saw sincerity of purpose in them when Jandor met with us yesterday. Badagry has been marginalised enough.
“We are praying for you. God will take you there. I am neither an APC nor PDP or LP member but God’s will be fulfilled. God will back you up,” Hunyinbo said.
Jandor and Funke flagged off their campaigns last Wednesday to begin the tour of 245 wards across the 20 local government areas of the state.
While Jandor continues to hold meetings with critical community stakeholders and groups in the area, Funke has been touring various markets and churches to seek support ahead of the general elections.
