Actress turned Politician, Funke Adesiyan has explained why she joined the widely-talked about protest in Lagos on Monday led by the Odua People's Congress (OPC).
Adesiyan is contesting for the Oyo State House of Assembly to represent Ibadan South East Constituency II on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP)
In a statement obtained by EE, the well-endowed actress unequivocally stated, "I was part of the walk by Coalition of Concerned Nigerians (NCC) led by Otunba Gani Adams. It is not politically motivated and not sponsored by anybody.
She added, "We are only asking for an explanation on the allegation against Prof Jega that underage youths were registered to vote in the north. We say NO to postponement of elections because of shortage in PVC collection. We say NO to creation of 30000 illegal polling unit in the North. We ask for equity in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. We are one great nation and we don't need Prof. Jega to divide it for us.
"On this premise, we call on Jega to go on his break due on the 24th of March,2015 and allow another credible officer from INEC conduct this election.
"We broke nothing neither did we touched or maimed no one. It was the most peaceful rally I've witnessed in recent times. No one sponsored it. All of us that got involved did it voluntarily based on our passion for equity, justice and unity of Nigeria. It's unfair that APC is trying to frame us. Nigerians know propaganda is APC style and we shall not loose focus on achieving our aim peacefully," Adesiyan added.
