Mo Abudu Stars of ‘Your Excellency’ Parley With Media

-

EbonyLife Films, producer of Fifty, The Wedding Party movies and Chief Daddy recently staged an opportunit­y for the Nigerian media to meet the star-studded cast of its latest feature film, Your Excellency. Eager to talk about their performanc­es in the movie, the actors arrived early for their interviews.

As expected, there was huge interest on how Funke Akindele-Bello managed to both direct and star in such a major project, especially as this was her directoria­l debut. Her ‘other half’ in the film, Akin Lewis, was relaxed and charismati­c, much like his onscreen character, presidenti­al aspirant Chief Olalekan Ajadi. The rest of the cast was equally light-hearted, hinting at the hilarious comedy they have in store for their fans across the country.

Cast in attendance were: Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju, Shaffy Bello, Kunle Coker, Ekun Edewor, Emmanuel ‘EmmaOMG’ Edunjobi, Alexx Ekubo, Oreka Godis, Mike Iheuwa, Aletile ‘Seyi Law’ Lawrence, Bimbo Manuel, Deyemi Okanlawon, Ini Dima-Okojie, Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah, Ikechukwu Onunaku and Helen Paul.

In addition, the media was treated to an exclusive screening of the official behind-thescenes film, with funny moments that will not be seen in the movie.

Executive Producer Mo Abudu was also present to meet the press. “We’re so appreciati­ve of this wonderful media supportand the attendance of all our actors; especially as they all have such busy schedules. Also, I’m grateful to our sponsors, Guinness Gold, Bollinger and Coca-Cola, for making this such a special occasion for all our guests,” she said.

Your Excellency is in cinemas from 13 December 2019 across Nigeria.
