What is Happening? – Austin Faani wonders why actresses are not supporting Funke Akindele’s Governorship ambition


Nollywood filmmaker Austin Faani has wondered why his female colleagues are not supporting Funke Akindele on her Lagos State Deputy Governorship ambition.

The producer, happily married to screen diva Charity Eke (Chacha Eke), made his observations known on Thursday on his verified Instagram page.

Austin Faani wondered if it could be envy-holding actresses from rallying around in support of Funke Akindele, who is contesting to become the Deputy Governor of Lagos state under PDP.

He wrote: “Funke Akindele’s colleagues are not campaigning for her, especially the female celebrities.

Could it be envy or what?

We can post her film but not her political ambition.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was once the governor of California.
Do Y’all think she is not capable?
I trust she will do better than all the previous Deputy Governors of Lagos.

Vote, my Colleague.
Vote PDP
Vote Jandor and Funke.”

Austin Faani had expressed his disappointment at the commencement of the Big Brother Titans TV Reality Show just as Nigeria is at the peak of conducting the long-awaited general elections.

According to the father of four, Ebuka and the organizers of the show need to someday explain to Nigerians why such an irrational decision.

Taking to his verified Instagram page, Faani, who is happily married to Chacha Eke Faani, wrote: “Someday, not soon maybe, Ebuka and BBN will explain to Nigerians why they couldn’t wait for just a month as to not distract the Nigerian masses especially the southern Nigeria that engages more in their awesome show from the coming election. There will be this dialogue someday, and I hope their reasons make sense and add a positive impact to what everyone in Nigeria is after. Get your PVC, guys. I hear people say, vote wisely, with your conscience and all sorts. If you can’t use any of the above traits to vote, simply vote for Peter Obi and Datti Yusuf. Thumbprint where you see a family picture.”

It would be recalled that twenty-two energetic, young, and vibrant housemates drawn from Nigeria and South Africa had stormed the maiden edition of Africa’s top reality TV show, Big Brother Titans.

Bbtitans, as it would be mostly called, holds in South Africa, with the housemates battling for the ultimate prize of $100,000.
