Actress, Monalisa Stephen has tackled her colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry for not showing support for Funke Akindele.
Funke Akindele, the Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, has since her declaration as the running mate of Jandor, received minimal support from her colleagues in the Nollywood industry.
Monalisa Stephen took to Instagram to address the issue and question whether Funke wasn’t one of unquestionable integrity.
She said: “Why are we not supporting her in this industry. She have friends, colleagues . She has worked with lots of people. Why are you not coming out to support her ? Shey @funkejenifaakindele no get INTEGRITY?? She’s not Old o. She’s Young o”
Monalisa Stephen equally gave out her total support for Funke Akindele ahead of the gubernatorial election set to hold on March 11, 2023, on the grounds that the actress-cum-politician has a good record.
Sharing a photo of Funke, she stated, “I truly want what’s best for my country. I won’t sit on the fence. I will come out to support who I can trust. Funke Akindele has worked. She’s a strong woman who is successful. Facts are there! Go and Verify”
