The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has denied Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele is the governorship candidate of the party for the State.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Lagos PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr Hakeem Amode made this known on Wednesday, saying the party was not aware of any running mate yet.

According to Amode, Dr Olajide Adediran, the governorship candidate of the party in the State was yet to announce his running mate, adding that the candidate will soon announce his running mate without delay and that everybody will know.

“It is not in my place to announce who the running mate to our governorship candidate, Jandor, is. Let us wait for the candidate himself to announce.

“Has the candidate of the party announced anywhere that he has picked his own running mate? What you are reading online on this, is it from the candidate of the party?

“The candidate of the party will announce who his running mate is and he has not done that.  We should wait for the official announcement,” Amode said.

When probed further to know if the party had settled on anyone for the running mate slot for PDP governorship candidate, Amode declined response.

The party’s spokesman added that he could not also confirm the choice of Akindele as the running mate of the party’s governorship candidate.

According to him, it is the candidate, not the party, that will announce who the running mate will be just like the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar did when he announced Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta as his running mate for the 2023 election.

“He will do that in no time and you all will hear. I will not confirm anything, the candidate of the party will do so,” he said.
