Taking to Instagram, Olajide Jandor expressed how happy he is to have chosen Funke AKindele as a running mate, stating she is a phenomenal and accomplished woman.

Eulogizing the mother of two on her day, Olajide Jandor wrote extensively on Instagram: I celebrate a phenomenal and an accomplished woman at 45, not because she has chosen to be my partner on this quest to birth a breath of fresh air in Lagos, or because she is my kin and a true daughter of Lagos state.

I celebrate you because you are a shining example of what it means to be a woman with purpose. You have approached every challenge with integrity, every opportunity with grace, every lesson with humility. You are supple but firm, and warm to all who have the fortune of meeting you.

Your Excellency-in-waiting, you have made Lagos proud distinctly as one of our most celebrated daughter;, a leader in the film and entertainment industry and astute business owner. Your impact continues to be felt by thousands of people in Nigeria and millions more across the world.

Funke, Mama Ibeji, Jenifa, Lefty, MD; these are all part of the legacy you have carved for yourself. Deputy Governor is the next task and given your track record, I am certain you will attain it and positively impact our people on a much greater scale.

I celebrate you on your 45th birthday and pray that this becomes the pivot to even more greatness.

Happy birthday Your Excellency @funkejenifaakindel
