In the February 25 presidential election, Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, praised Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress, for her remarkable achievement with the movie ‘A Tribe Called Judah.’ The film broke a box office record by grossing N1 billion within three weeks of its release, marking a historic milestone in the Nigerian movie industry.
Obi commended Akindele’s dedication, stating that her work reflects the challenges faced by less-privileged families in Nigeria.
He also emphasized the potential of Nollywood as a significant Nigerian export and urged the industry to continue inspiring hard work and productivity among Nigerians.
