On Tuesday, the All Progressives Congress (APC) emphasized that Lagosians will not permit governance to be reduced to a pointless experiment and that it is a serious business, not a circus.
The ruling party was responding to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) selection of comedienne Funke Akindele as its deputy candidate for governor of Lagos State.
Olajide Adediran, often known as Jandor, the PDP candidate for governor of Lagos State, defended his choice of Nollywood actress as his running partner.

Reacting in a statement, Lagos State APC Spokesman, Seye Oladejo described the choice of Funke Akindele as a display of unseriousness on the part of the party.
The statement reads: “This development underscores the unseriousness of Lagos state PDP. This amounts to trivializing the importance of the forthcoming gubernatorial elections by giving political neophytes who have absolutely nothing to bring to the table their electoral tickets.
“It also shows lack of depth in the party as regards quality members to put forward for elections if they could give a member who crossed-carpeted a few days before their primaries the governorship ticket and now went to the make-believe industry to fetch a deputy. The reason for voters’ apathy is, undoubtedly, due to lack of credible alternatives by the moribund opposition party.
“I was amused to read that the deputy governorship candidate said she was suspending her acting career for the elections whose result is highly predictable. I guess she’s suspending a lot more because she has been in the news of recent for all the wrong reasons.

“Lagosians will certainly not allow governance to be turned to a needless experiment or a sitcom. Governance is serious business not a circus.”
On Tuesday, Adediran urged Lagos State voters to support him and his running companion, saying that she will enhance his campaign.
