Actress and politician, Funke Akindele has 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.
The movie is about a family, the hustle and bustle in the family, the ups and downs, and the fictions. All I wanted to preach on ‘Battle on the Buka Street’ is to celebrate our culture, our food because I love African food so much, and to also celebrate oneness in the family, state and country.

So, I am passing the baton to the new ones because we need to give them an opportunity. Yes, I will be in the background to advise and supervise the
