Actress Funke Adesiyan Reveals Why She Will Contest In 2019 Election

Nollywood actress and politician,Funke Adesiyan, says she will return to acting at some point but at the moment, she is focused on politics.

“I think everything goes hand in hand, it’s all about the mood [but] at some point, I will still go back to acting,” the actress told TheCable Lifestyle.

The actress who lost her election into the Oyo state house of assembly in 2015 said she joined politics to encourage women and youth to take part in nation building.

“Let’s keep our fingers crossed, there’s no resignation in politics. We do it and keep doing it,” she said about contesting in 2019.
“I went into politics because I wanted to be the definition of change in the attitude of youth and women towards politics. Enough of leaving it to some people and acting like we are not interested.
“We should be involved in whatever is happening around us so I brought myself out to tell women and youth of Nigeria that if I can do it then you can do it. [In] 2019, I’m looking forward to us having the youngest presidential candidate contesting for the first time.”
