“I was not expecting this award. It’s an honour for me and for everybody who worked on the film,” said Izu Ojukwu.
In his acceptance speech, Moses Babatope expressed joy at winning this award and said that it was a good omen as the production of The Wedding Party 2 had just begun in Lagos and Dubai.
