FUNKE ADESIYAN REACTS AFTER HER MANDATE WAS STOLEN ON THE MANTLE OF PARTY POLITICS!!!

Funke Adesiyan 

Actress, businesswoman and Philanthropist, Funke Adesiyan a few days ago had celebrated to high heavens after the end of the primary election to pick or elect those to represent her party at the next election come 2018.

A celebration, spontaneous and from the heart had been because she had won on the field of the day. But alas, just a few days afterwards, it seems like her victory was in vain, as the powers that be allegedly had thought better of that hard earned and won victory and had swiftly and without a care and remorse removed the carpet deliberately off her feet. Below is her reaction. It may be a blessing in disguise though.

"Dear friends,

We have come to the end of a long journey. A very rigorous and eventful one. The people of Ibadan South East 2 have spoken. They spoke loudly and clearly. 

The journey of the last one year has been halted, and I thank you all for standing by me. For believing in my vision and for throwing your weight behind me in critical moments. I will never  take this significant support for granted.

The primary election has come and gone and I have been made to believe and accept the outcome in good fate.

While I am not quite happy that my hard-earned mandate was taken from me, as this stands against the principle with which I stand for, I can't go against the wish of our great party,  All Progressives Congress (APC).

"I can't understand why people, who bought forms sold at exorbitant prices, went for primaries and emerged winners only to be told that their names had been swapped for other anointed candidates".

One may be tempted to ask why we had primaries in the first place if the party's hidden agenda was to impose candidates?

This is one old injustice that has continued to dwarf the progress and entrenchment of internal democracy, one that has denied many people the full blessings of fulfilling their ambition politically. 

There is no better evidence of this than the brazen act of injustice that forced me to surrender my mandate.

I urge all my supporters not to be wary as this is a phase that will soon pass. 

Today, I hold in my heart nothing but love for my people as I call on you all to not despair of our present difficulties but to believe, always, in the promise and greatness of our party (APC), Oyo State and Nigeria because nothing is inevitable here.

I implore you all to go all out and vote for the APC in the 2019 general election and ensure that we record a resounding victory. 

Thank you and God bless you.

Funke Adesiyan".
