Popular actor and politician Yul Edochie has reacted to his colleague Funke Akindele’s decision to delete her campaign pictures from her Instagram page.

Yul congratulated Funke for the bold step she took as a deputy governorship candidate in the recent Lagos gubernatorial election.

The actor, who expressed concern for Funke, encouraged her as he said she should have kept her campaign pictures as it was part of the proof of her achievement.

“No matter what anybody says to you. Don’t be discouraged by those who are laughing at you for not winning. Na childish brain dey worry dem. Cowards will always laugh at the brave ones. That’s the only way they console themselves for being cowards. When they grow up they’ll laugh at themselves for not having the courage to try what you did. There are no failures in life as long as you never give up. It’s either you win or you learn. The person who fails is that person who has not tried at all,” Yul wrote.

“One day I’ll be President of Nigeria. Funke, you will sit in your office someday as Deputy Governor or Governor or President and look at your first campaign pictures and you’ll have tears of joy in your eyes. You will be proud of your journey. Never give up. I wish you the very best.”
