This isn’t the first time, such an incident is happening.
Months back, Lagos State Park and Garages Chairman, MC Oluomo had publicly embarrassed Shina Peller over politics.
In the video, Shina Peller went to greet the former NURTW boss and he shunned him and issued him a warning not to greet him.
Recall that while MC Oluomo supported Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the election, Shina Peller was against his appointment.
The video had caused a stir on the internet as many dragged him for his behavior which they termed ‘childish’.
His son, King Westt while reacting to it, applauded his father for snubbing the Quilox boss. He claimed that Shina Peller betrayed his father and yet wanted to exchange pleasantries with him.
In another post, he stated that his family wouldn’t tolerate fake love.
