Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele-Bello has said her directorial debut, “Your Excellency” was written by Mo Abudu.
According to the movie star, Mo wrote the story and Yinka Ogun scripted it, then she was asked to direct.
Her words, “I must give it up for Mo Abudu, she created the characters, she wrote the story for ‘Your Excellency’. She owns the original story and Yinka Ogun developed the script. The story is different, what was she thinking, she went out of the box and I give it to her, it’s a different story and I love the story so much that I was happy getting the opportunity to direct.”
“She’s somebody that I respect so much, she inspires a lot of us, she helps a lot of us to grow and she gives people opportunities. She gave me the opportunity to tweak things, change things on set, we worked hand in hand all through.”
Good work from everyone involved.
