‎Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has revealed that she has plans to go back into politics again.

‎
‎Recall that Funke Akindele was the running mate to Abdulazeez Adediran, the Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2023.

‎Unfortunately, they lost the gubernatorial election to Babajide Olusola Sanwo-olu, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

‎
‎However, while speaking during the inaugural live edition of ‘WithChude’ podcast, Funke Akindele revealed that the urge to support and give back to the society was what pushed her into politics.

‎
‎She further revealed that politics made her acquainted with a lot of data about her country and her state, hence, she is ready to go into politics again.

‎
‎She said:
‎"I need to support. I need to give back. That’s why I went into politics. Getting into it, seeing violence, and shouting, then I started watching female politicians like Mummy Abike Dabiri and co. The way they speak, and command respect and authority. I’m like, you too go, you can do it.

‎
‎“And I stood and spoke. I learnt that from there that you have to be bold, courageous, and strong. What would be would be. Fear will only put you in a place. So, all this I learnt from doing politics, and I got to know a lot of numbers. I got educated more and acquired more knowledge. You know, I’m reading more and knowing more about my country and my state. When I want to speak, I speak with statistics data. So, I’m glad that I went into politics. And ask me if I am going to do it again? Oh, yes."
