Former Senate President, and two-time Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has congratulated popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Femi Adebayo, on his recent win at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
Saraki in his social media post on Tuesday, described Adebayo’s victory as a “well-earned recognition” and a source of pride for the people of Kwara State.
He also lauded Adebayo’s performance and his contribution to Nigeria’s film 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,” he wrote.
Saraki concluded his message with words of encouragement for the actor as he wished him greater achievements,
He wrote, “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.”
Recall that Adebayo’s latest movie series, ‘Seven Doors,’ emerged 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).
Still basking in the euphoria of the AMVCA’s fresh milestones, Femi also took time out to present his victories at the 11th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards to his father and veteran actor, Adebayo Salami.
Winning the 2025 AMVCA Best Lead Actor award is a major achievement, but Femi choosing to dedicate and hand over the award to his father highlights the deep respect and gratitude.
The AMVCA is an annual award presented by Multichoice to recognise outstanding achievements in television, film, entertainment, and digital content creation throughout Nollywood and the entire African continent.
