Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, is set to make her directorial debut in the political comedy, Your Excellency.
She announced this in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
“I’m so excited about this project. Cant wait for you all to see this @moabudu they are not ready yet🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺,” she wrote.
Your Excellency will be released on December 13, 2019 across Nigeria.
The movie features Funke Akindele, Lala Akindoju, Shaffy Bello, Kunle Coker, Ekun Edewor and Alexx Ekubo.
“Your Excellency has a great script, excellent cast and an experienced production team, so I’m looking forward to making the best possible film. It’s great to be working with Aunty Mo again, so soon after the success of Chief Daddy, and hopefully we can make another hit movie,” Funke Akindele said about the movie.
The movie tells the story of Chief Olalekan Ajadi, a bumbling, billionaire businessman and failed presidential candidate, who is obsessed with Donald Trump.
Just when his campaign looks set to be another disaster, Ajadi is anointed by a major party and becomes a credible contender – all through the power of social media. As the political drama unfolds, it seems possible that even the most inept candidate, with little to offer voters except viral soundbites and amusing antics, can mount a serious challenge for the presidency.
