Popular politician, Senator Dino Melaye has been announced as one of the actors that started in a new Nollywood movie, which will premiere next month.
The controversial senator, known for his funny display of acting talents when reacting to contentious political issues on social media is said to have played the role of a “distinguished senator” in the movie, titled Lemonade.
This is not Melaye’s first foray into Nollywood. Last month, it was revealed that he will be featured as one of the key actors, in a television series titled ‘Equity unbound,” focused on equal rights and social justice in Africa,’ using Nigeria as a case study.
It would be recalled that Melaye was recently sacked as the senator representing Kogi West in the upper chamber. He is facing a rerun in some parts of his constituency after the main election was held on November 16.
Describing the role of the senator in the movie, the movie producer, Idoko in a repost on her Instagram handle said, “This you would really really want to see, the most distinguished Senator @dinomelaye plays himself in Lemonade. Some times it takes a wiser set of eyes to help you see what is right in front of you. (sic)”
