Nigerians Mock Funke Akindele For Bragging About Her 20 Million Followers To Win Lagos Election

Some Nigerians have mocked Nollywood actress and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) deputy governorship candidate, Funke Akindele, for banking on her huge followers and fans on social media to win Lagos Election.

Naija News earlier reported that Funke in an interview on Channels TV claimed that she has a huge number of followers just like the governorship candidate, Jandor who has a good number of supporters.

According to the mother of two, she has over twenty million followers on social media who would support her party to emerge as the winner.

When reminded of the popular cliche that ‘politics is not on social media’, Funke said she also have a lot of fans at the grassroots.

However, some Nigerians expressed their thought, stating that huge social media followers are not enough to win an election.
