The move came after the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu won the election under the APC party, defeating the PDP in March 2023.

Funke was queried by a fan @apexproperties2 about her absence from the app.

The fan @apexproperties2 wrote, “Madam Funke, I cite you. Longest time, you ran away from us, or what happened?”

Funke responded, “Dem too dey insult people on this app, so I stay off.”

In a similar trend, another user @Odun_is_my_name under the comments section asked if Akindele was afraid of the people.

Funke answered: “No I’m not afraid. I’m just careful.”
