Tinubu Terrified Of Funke Akindele, Jandor Breaks Silence
In a subtle rebuke the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for Lagos State, Abdul-Azeez popularly known as Jandor has explained why in his view APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is said to be terrified of Funke Akindele, his running mate.
GWG.NG reports that Tinubu at an interactive session with Lagos APC chiefs on Wednesday, 2nd November had chided female supporters singing a song in derision of Funke Akindele.
“Who is Funke Akindele before Sanwo-Olu of Lagos? She is an ant”.
Tinubu not even pleased with the mention of the name had fumed saying: “Don’t even bother to mention her name in my presence. It is an insult. It is disrespectful.”
Responding in a series of tweets on Friday on the development, Jandor said that Tinubu was terrified of Funke Akindele because she is a formidable force. According to him, no parent wouldn’t be proud of Funke Akindele who has achieved success in life through hard work and proper parental training.
Jandor also said that those who trained their children through public funds will not be proud of someone like Funke Akindele.
He wrote: “Over the last few months, through radio and television interviews and communications via the Lagos4Lagos channels, I have graciously responded to questions about my decision to invite Funke Akindele to run with me as deputy governor of Lagos state.
“There’s no parent who wouldn’t be proud of Funke Akindele who rose to her current enviable status, through her hard work and parental trainings, except for those who trained theirs with public funds.
“I would be terrified too, if I was an opposition to such a formidable woman. But unlike them, we intend to win honourably, by convincing the people about sincerity and urgency of our mission. I would advise those who whisper about her credibility to do the same”.
