A video has emerged of Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, describing Funke Akindele, the Lagos State Deputy Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party as an ant in the political scene.

According to the former Lagos state Governor, he finds it disrespectful for her name to be mentioned in his presence.

Bola Tinubu said;

“Who is Funke Akindele before Sanwo-Olu of Lagos? She is an ant.

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

The presidential candidate said this to his supporters at a political outing on Wednesday, November 2, where his supporters sang a campaign song describing Funke Akindele as a political ‘ant’ as compared to Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who is the current Governor and Lagos State Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.

Funke Akindele who is a popular actress recently revealed her intentions to join politics after she was announced as the Lagos State Deputy Governorship candidate on the ticket of the PDP.

Although new to politics, Funke had earlier said that she is determined to contribute her quota to the betterment of Lagos state.

Reacting to Tinubu's comment, some Nigerians took to social media to share their thoughts.
