The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has refuted news of picking Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, as running mate to its governorship flag bearer, Olajide Adediran.
Publicity Secretary Hakeem Amode said the party was not aware of any running mate yet.
Amode was responding to the reported emergence of Akindele as running mate nominee to Adediran.
He said: “It is not in my place to announce who the running mate to our governorship candidate, Jandor, is. Let us wait for the candidate himself to announce.
“Has the candidate of the party announced anywhere that he has picked his running mate? What you are reading online on this, is it from the party’s candidate?
“The candidate will announce who his running mate is and he has not done that. We should wait for the official announcement.”
