Tinubu Says It’s Disr3spectful To Mention Funke Akindele’s Name Around Him

This is confirming that the APC does not see the PDP candidate as a possible thr3at in the Lagos State Governorship elections.

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has told his supporters that it is insulting to mention star actress and PDP’s Lagos gubernatorial running mate Funke Akindele in his presence.

Mr Tinubu is backing incumbent Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC for reelection.

At a political outing in Lagos on Wednesday, his supporters had sung a campaign song, describing Ms Akindele as a political ‘ant’ compared to Mr Tinubu’s anointed candidate Mr Sanwo-Olu.

“Who is Funke Akindele before Sanwo-Olu of Lagos? She is an ant,” the supporters sang.

“Don’t even bother to mention her name in my presence. It is an insult. It is disrespectful,” Mr Tinubu replied disdainfully.
