BREAKING: Funke Akindele Picked As Deputy Governor
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Lagos state chapter has down its list of candidates for Alhaji Abdulaziz Olajide Adediran, better known by his stage name Jandor, to five.
The Nollywood actress, Olufunke Akindele, also known as Jenifa, the former governorship candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the former senatorial candidate for Lagos East Yeye Shobajo, the current governorship candidate David Kolawole Vaughan, also known as DAKOVA, and engineer Teslim Balogun are among the names that have been shortlisted.
Akindele may have been selected as the deputy governorship candidate after a picture of Jandor and her went viral on Friday.

The actress was just listed as a potential running companion, according to checks done by Daily Trust correspondent, and the choice of the governorship candidate’s running mate has not yet been made.
It was gathered that a committee has been formed to evaluate the candidates and select the best one to serve as Jandor’s running companion.
As of the time of filing this report, a meeting of stakeholders of the party is ongoing to select one of the nominees.
However, it was learnt that Rhodes-Vivour and Kolawole, two of the shortlisted candidates, are from Lagos West, the same senatorial area as Jandor, which may hurt their prospects. Balogun is from Lagos Central, while Yeye Shobajo and Funke Akindele are from the East.
A woman being considered for the running mate position has a compelling argument, according to a source.
A party chieftain anonymously disclosed that discussions are still going on to choose the best candidate.
He claimed that one of the factors taken into account was the possible candidate’s influence
