He wrote: “Dear Aunty Funke, you are a senior colleague and I have tremendous respect for your superb prowess in #acting but if this Na another Jenifa series, Abeg tell us.

“They say the true test of #LEADERSHIP is known during difficult times or adversity, and if at an unpleasant time never seen before during #global pandemic when #Nigerians Dey observe social distancing to SAVE lives.

“You boastfully threw a flamboyant house #PARTY without cognitive RESPECT for safety and the effect of such absurd act on the millions of innocent fans who look up to you, shows you have a long way to go on leadership spiritual journey in the prolific #school of OBIdient Ma.”
