Seyi shared her experience contacting the Peoples Democratic Party's deputy governorship candidate several times. Still, all of her tries were ignored, and none of her messages was acknowledged.
The actress also noted that she tried to get across to Funke's principal, Jandor, but got no response, so she decided to pitch her tent with the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Vivour-Rhodes.

@seguntribune:
"Did Funke complain? Did she ask you to solicit support on her behalf? From the moment she was picked as Jandor's running mate, certain blocs emerged and ganged up against her. Funke should understand that the game is the game."
