Don’t mention Funke Akindele’s name around me – Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu has warned those campaigning for him not to mention the name of Funke Akindele, Nollywood actress and PDP’s Lagos gubernatorial running mate, in his presence.

Tinubu rebuked his supporters during a campaign held in Lagos on Wednesday.

At the political outing, his supporters had sung a campaign song. They described Funke Akindele as a political ‘ant’ compared to incumbent Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

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

But Tinubu fumed: “Don’t even bother to mention her name in my presence. It is an insult. It is disrespectful.”
