Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has boasted that mentioning the name of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in his presence is a “disgrace.”
Tinubu, speaking at a campaign event on Friday, also said that the numbers provided by the Labour Party candidate were not what Nigerians would eat.
Making fun of his LP opponent, the former Lagos governor claimed that all of the figures Peter Obi provided were incorrect.
Mentioning Funke Akindele In My Presence Is Disrespectful – Tinubu
In a video trending online, Tinubu said, “The other one, that one; he thinks that it is statistics we will chop; in line with arithmetics that no Indian can solve.
“To mention his name is a disgrace to me self. I won’t mention his name; wrong arithmetics, wrong statistics, warehouse economy; that is not what Nigeria needs.”
Tinubu has a history of mocking political opponents, despite carrying a bag of controversies around his neck, the most prominent of which is that he was allegedly a former drug baron.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Tinubu stated in November that mentioning the name of the Peoples Democratic Party’s deputy governorship candidate in Lagos, Funke Akindele, in his presence was disrespectful.

Akindele is a well-known Nigerian actor.
Tinubu stated this at a political event, where his followers sung a campaign song comparing Funke Akindele to the incumbent governor of Lagos and APC candidate in the 2023 election, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Tinubu, on the other hand, warned his fans against uttering Akindele’s name in his presence, calling it disrespectful and insulting.
“Don’t even bring up her name in my presence. It’s an affront. “It’s disrespectful,” stated the former Lagos governor.
Akindele claimed that God summoned her and PDP governorship candidate Abdul-Azeez Adediran (Jandor) and gave them the mandate to turn Lagos around.
Akindele said God has been with her right from birth and is interested in her aspirations to make Lagos State work for all people in the state.

“I give God all the glory for what he has done. God has always been doing the best for me.
“We were called by God, if not we would have backed out. People have suffered but God has called us and put us forward to come and change the story of Lagos state for the better. The success of Lagos state is ours,” she had said.
