Funke Akindele, the actress cum politician, has said her new film will be her last one as she expressed optimism that she will be the next Deputy Governor of Lagos State.
Gatekeepers News reports that the actress said her forthcoming film ‘Battle On Buka Street’ is a farewell to the movie industry.
Akindele also said she has “passed the baton of production” to the young ones in the industry in order to focus on her political aspiration.
“A great change has happened positively if you noticed. From being an actor, I also write, produce, direct and discover new faces. So, I have passed the baton of production to the young people because I have moved into politics now,” she said in an interview with The Punch.
“So, ‘Battle on Buka Street’ is like a farewell because I am going to be the next deputy governor of Lagos State. So, I am passing the baton to the new ones because we need to give them an opportunity.
“I will be in the background to advise and supervise them, but let them be the face, let us celebrate them, are you not tired of seeing old faces?.”
