In light of the defeat of the PDP by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 18, 2023, elections, Akindele deleted all her campaign and political-related posts from her social media accounts.
The actress finally broke the silence regarding her absence when she was questioned by a fan about it on the app.
The fan @apexproperties2 wrote,
“Madam Funke, I cite you. For the longest time, you ran away from us, or what happened?”
Funke responded, “Dem too dey insult people on this app, so I stay off.”
