Funke Akindele bades farewell to Nollywood
Just days back, Funke Akindele had doubled down on her plans to step away from Nollywood to focus on her political career.
Recall that in July, while confirming her PDP deputy governorship candidacy, Funke Akindele had disclosed that she was ready to pay the price of embracing politics which will temporarily hold her career in the Nollywood industry.
In an interview with Punch Deji Lambo, Funke Akindele revealed that her latest movie, Battle on Buka Streets, is her farewell project as she fully delves into politics.
The reason for stepping away from the movie industry isn’t far fetched, as Funke is contesting to be the next deputy governor of Lagos State.
According to her, she is passing the baton to the new ones, though, she would still be at the background to advise and supervise them. She expressed how fulfilled she is to have evolved from being an actress to a writer, producer, director and now discovering new talents.
She said, “A great change has happened positively if you noticed. From being an actor, I also write, produce, direct and discover new faces.
