“Over the years, we’ve been the privileged recipients of your support for our productions: ‘Fifty’, ‘The Wedding Party’, ‘The Royal Hibiscus Hotel’, ‘Your Excellency’, ‘The Governor’, ‘Castle & Castle’, ‘Oloture’, and ‘Chief Daddy 1’.
“When you express disappointment with us, please know your voices are heard. Just as we appreciate the positive feedback and reviews, we also appreciate the not-so-positive ones as they are constructive for me and my team.
“I’m pleased to inform you that we’ve expanded our team of creatives as we continue to grow and expand.
“I’m delighted to let you know that we have amazing projects lined up for you to enjoy in the coming months. I thank you for your impassioned feedback. I know that it comes from a place of pride and love for Nigerian films.”
