Your Excellency, EbonyLife Films seasonal blockbuster, will be screened in United Kingdom for a limited time only this Christmas. Thanks to distributors FilmOne Entertainment, the highly anticipated movie will be the first Nollywood title to be scheduled in UK cinemas before completing its run in Nigeria. This follows the 6-week record-breaking performance of The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai in 2017, when EbonyLife and FilmOne teamed up to score the most successful UK cinema run of a Nigerian film.

Directed by Funke Akindele-Bello, who also has a leading role, the movie boasts a star-studded cast with millions of fans worldwide. These include Akin Lewis, Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju, Shaffy Bello, Kunle Coker, Ekun Edewor, Emmanuel ‘EmmaOMG’ Edunjobi, Alexx Ekubo, Oreka Godis, Osas Ighodaro, Mike Iheuwa, Aletile ‘Seyi Law’ Lawrence, Bimbo Manuel, Deyemi Okanlawon, Ini Dima-Okojie, Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah, Ikechukwu Onunaku, Helen Paul and Toni Tones.

Your Excellency tells the story of a bumbling, billionaire businessman and failed presidential candidate, who becomes a credible contender when his dance moves and gaffes ignite social media. The movie is both funny and touching, as it shows how politics and social media are shaping Nigerian society.

Executive Producer Mo Abudu is excited about the early UK release. She said, “As a British Nigerian who grew up in London, I know what it’s like to see all the exciting things happening in Nigeria and to wish they would come to the UK. For Nigerians and other Africans who can’t make it home for the holidays, going to see Your Excellency in cinemas is a great way to bring the family together and introduce your friends to Nigerian popular culture.”
