Funke Akindele says Mo Abudu wrote ‘Your Excellency’ story

In a recent chat with media house pulse, the ‘Jenifa’ star disclosed that Abudu wrote the story while Yinka Ogun scripted it before she was called on board to direct.

Akindele-Bello, who also featured in the film said, “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.”

The actress, director, and producer further revealed that she got the opportunity to make some changes while working on the film.

“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,” she said.
