Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has congratulated Nollywood actor and ace producer, Femi Adebayo, over his recent win at the 11th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
Saraki took to his X (formerlyTwitter) account on Tuesday to describe Adebayo’s victory as a ‘well-earned recognition’ and a moment of pride for the people of Kwara State.
He praised Adebayo’s exceptional performance and his impactful contributions to the Nigerian movie industry.
“I just read the news that #realfemiadebayo won the AMVCA Best Lead Actor award for his remarkable performance in ‘Seven Doors.’
“This is a well-earned recognition and a proud moment for Kwarans everywhere.
“But more than that, it is a reminder of what’s possible when talent meets opportunity,” Saraki wrote.
Saraki encouraged the Nollywood actor to aim for even greater achievements, “May this achievement open even greater stages and inspire a new generation of young Kwarans to dream big, work hard, and tell their own stories to the country, the continent, and the world.”
LEADERSHIP reports that Adebayo’s latest Netflix series, ‘Seven Doors, was one of the biggest winners at the prestigious event held on Saturday, clinching three awards – Best Lead Actor (Femi Adebayo), Best Lead Actress (Chioma Chukwuka), and Best Score/Music (Tolu Obanro).
The AMVCA, an annual award presented by Multichoice, recognises outstanding achievements in television, film, entertainment, and digital content creation across Nollywood and the African continent.
