This is coming weeks after the actress deleted some election-related content from her Instagram.

Funke Akindele lost her polling unit (Vanguard)

Following her loss in the Lagos gubernatorial elections as the running mate to Abdulazeez Adediran of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), she has refrained from using the social media platform.

In light of the defeat of the PDP by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 18, 2023, elections, Akindele deleted all her campaign and political-related posts from her social media accounts.

Reacting to the defeat after the elections, the actress expressed no regrets about the move she made to join politics and contest.

She wrote, “It has been an amazing and insightful experience on my journey to the ballot, and I must say, it was an absolute learning curve for me. A lot of things have been learned and unlearned. I sincerely do not regret taking this huge step of running for office."

This may mean that the actress, who already took a bow from acting and Nollywood, will be back to give us more screen delights. Only time will tell.
