| Bola Tinubu and Funke Akindele |
Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has told his supporters that it is insulting to mention the popular actress and PDP’s Lagos gubernatorial running mate Funke Akindele in his presence.
Bola Tinubu is backing incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC for reelection in Lagos State.
At a political outing in Lagos on Wednesday, his supporters had sung a campaign song, describing Ms Funke 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,” Tinubu replied disdainfully.
