Many Nollywood stars have distanced themselves from Funke Akindele ever since she emerged as the running mate to Jandor, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State.
GISTLOVER reports that not even her off-and-on bosom friend, Eniola Badmus has posted Funke Akindele’s political ambition on their Instagram pages, nor campaigned for her.Information Guide Nigeria
Some of her colleagues left her to stand alone in her campaigns without any help from the entertainment industry and the majority of them chose to pitch their tents with the ruling party in Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to GISTLOVER, a source from City People has revealed some of the reasons why Funke Akindele’s colleagues abandoned her.
“Everybody wants to be on top, so supporting just one person to get to the top is too much of a risk for them. Besides, most of them depend on politicians for survival. To now go against politicians is too much a risk for the stars.”
Another added, she is from the Yoruba genre of the industry but she rarely features in Yoruba movies. She concentrates only on her projects and English genre movies.NYSC portal
Also, Funke Akindele doesn’t associate with most of her colleagues, especially those in the Yoruba genre of the industry. She hardly attends their events. She doesn’t invite them to hers either.
Interestingly, she is a product of the Odunfa Caucus, an association that is rated strongest in the Yoruba movie industry and an Odunfa Caucus’s endorsement alone would have helped boost her political ambition, but the caucus has kept mute on her issue.
The reason is that she doesn’t attend their events or associate with them. Even when the founders are celebrating birthdays, she doesn’t honor them with her presence.JAMB Result
