Nollywood actress and
producer, Funke Akindele has dropped her husband’s name ‘Bello’ as
she celebrates her new appointment as the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP)
deputy governorship candidate in Lagos state.
This is coming barely two
weeks after her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly called JJC Skillz, took
to his Instagram page to announce the crash of their five years old marriage.
Funke took to her Instagram
page a few hours ago to confirm reports of her political appointment,
stating that she is putting her career on hold to give Lagos the needed fresh
air.
One thing that caught the
attention of some netizens was how Funke boldly removed her husband’s name
while introducing herself as the aspiring deputy governor of Lagos State.
Similarly, the campaign
posters which surfaced online also showed that Funke Akindele has dumped her
husband’s name.
Naija News earlier
reported that Funke in her speech expressed concern about the plight of the
less fortunate especially the youths, which drove her strong passion to help
and assist in governance.
According to her, accepting
the PDP deputy gubernatorial nomination is a huge personal sacrifice, stating
that no sacrifice is too much for the actualization of the urgent mission to
rescue Lagosians.
