In order to run for the Oshodi-Isolo Constituency 1 spot in the House of Representatives, Foluke’s husband, Kayode Salako, withdrew from his position as Lagos State Chairman of the Labour Party in January 2023 after serving in that position for six months.
Foluke Daramola claimed in a heated conversation on Instagram that GRV turned tribalistic after receiving a party ticket from her spouse. She alleged that he substituted Igbo for Yoruba candidates for the House of Assembly.
In her words;
