Enioluwa had addressed the actress by her name, an action that didn't go down well with her.
While at the event, Toriola, who solicited support for late Aunty Ajara, was seen exchanging pleasantries with actress Ini Edo and as well with Eniola Ajao.
Enioluwa joined in and decided to greet Toriola, whom he addressed as Wumi. In a swift response, Toriola voiced her displeasure, and Enioluwa had to resort to begging and holding on to her.
Wunmi Toriola, while speaking in Yoruba, said, “You said Wumi, you call me by my name (opemi loruko), why would you call me Wunmi?”
Enioluwa corrected himself by calling her Aunty Wunmi while hailing the actress as the dramatic scene turned into a funny moment.
