About 10 months ago, Nollywood actress, Funke Adesiyan was in the news for blasting President Buhari for extending his vacation/medical leave in London indefinitely on Sunday.
Funke had said then that she’s ‘not disappointed in this egoistic, deceitful, two faced tyrant of a president as I did not vote for him’ – her lambaste was quite controversial, as she even took swipes at leading citizens like, Asiwaju Tinubu, Prof Wole Soyinka, Adams Oshiomole and others.
Fast forward to today, the actress according to a new post on her IG page, has announced her decision to join the same political party she lambasted some months back.
Funke wrote on her page:
My journey into politics was borne out of my passion and desire to touch people’s lives positively. Having realised that there was little I could achieve in my private capacity, I decided to put myself in the political landscape of the country. That resolve has never changed. My mission has always been to make life easy for the man next door. While that could not be achieved on a different platform in #2015 due to factors that would not be necessary to delve into at this time; it is my joy to announce today that I am joining the #progressives with the same resolve. My commitment and loyalty to whatever or whoever I believe in is unwavering, unflagging and unflinching. I assure my people of my unalloyed commitment to a life more abundant. This can only be achieved by working side by side with individuals who are also driven by the same passion to achieve an egalitarian society.
God bless Nigeria
God bless Oyo State.
Funke Adesiyan.
