A picture of Jandor and Akindele had gone viral, suggesting that the Nollywood actress had been chosen as the deputy governorship candidate.

However, reports indicated that the actress was only nominated as a potential running mate while the decision on who will run with the governorship candidate is yet to be taken.

According to reports from Daily Trust, a committee has been set up to screen the aspirants and come up with the most suitable candidate to be the running mate to Jandor.

As of the time of filing this report, a meeting of stakeholders of the party is ongoing to select one of the nominees.

Daily Trust, however, reports that two of the shortlisted candidates Rhodes-Vivour and Kolawole are from Lagos West, the same senatorial district with Jandor, hence reducing their chances.

Yeye Shobajo and Funke Akindele are from East while Balogun is from Lagos Central.

Recall that Tonto Dikeh also emerged as the Deputy Governorship candidate for Africa Democratic Congress, (ADC) in Rivers State.
