Funke Akindele Is Like An Ant Before Me – Tinubu

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has come out to say that mentioning the name of the deputy governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Funke Akindele in his presence is an insult.

He recently had his say while speaking to his supporters, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, Funke Akindele is nothing but an ant in his presence, and he doesn’t want his supporters to even take the mention of her name seriously.

Tinubu added that a fowl that wants to enter a house do not need to bend down, because it is not tall in the first place.

His words, “Who is Funke Akindele? (she is) an ant in the presence of the father of Lagos (Tinubu).”

“Don’t even behave as if you remember that name (Funke Akindele).”

“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?”

On Sanwo-Olu, “I left Lagos for Abuja, leaving the party members with Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat, leaders of the Governor’s Advisory Council and other party leaders. They are the ones who released me to go to Abuja to contest. I left with many doubts and I was uncertain about what would be the fate of the party. I was constantly in touch with the Governor and his deputy.”

“Sometimes, I would call the party chairman and ask them if we were doing the right thing in Lagos. The reports they always gave me, gave me more courage and confidence to move on with my engagement in Abuja. I thank all of our leaders for keeping the party stronger. I handed over to you an undefeated platform in Lagos. The manner with which the party affairs have been conducted shows these people have fairly managed the home base.”
