“Funke Akindele’s colleagues are not campaigning for her, especially the female celebrities. Could it be envy or what?”
Not stopping there, Austin added that her colleagues could post about her movies but could not post to campaign for her. He wondered if they thought she was not capable.
In his words:
“Arnold Schwarzenegger was once the governor of California. Y’all think she is not capable? I trust she will do better than all the previous Deputy Governors of Lagos put together.”

If Funke's unclad photos leaked, people would have 'stanned' her
In a subsequent post, Austin Faani complained about the present generation. According to him, if unclad snaps of Funke Akindele had leaked online, people would have rallied around to support her.
He wrote:
“Many people will be ‘stanning and restaning’ her for her leaked n*des. But here she is contesting for a political leadership as high as a Deputy Governor of a state like Lagos. And you can’t understand my position?”
