The deputy governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Funke Akindele has deleted some posts relating to politics and the PDP from her Instagram page after her party came a distant third in last Saturday’s election.
A check by the News Chronicle shows that the posts visible on her page of 15.7 million followers were mainly that of her movie promotion and other personal posts. Funke Akindele had earlier bragged about the size of her social media followers in one of her interviews with Channels TV.
The candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwolu had emerged victorious while the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Rhode-Vivour came second in an election which was marred by violence and voter intimidation.
