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.
Addressing the gathering in Yoruba, Tinubu said, “Don’t even behave as if you remember the name.
“It is a big insult, it is an abuse. A fowl wants to enter a house, it is bending down, how tall is it in the first place.”
