Superstar actress-turned-politician Funke Akindele, has revealed that her forthcoming film “Battle On Buka” will be her farewell to the movie industry.
The now politician who made this known in an interview said the decision was to allow her focus fully on her political career.
According to PUNCH, Funke added that she had “passed the baton of production” to the industry’s youngest to focus more on her political ambitions.
“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.
“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?.”
Akindele earlier said she ventured into politics to save Lagos and its residents from “bad governance.”
