 I’m redefining politics in Nigeria – Laide Bakare


Actress and filmmaker, Laide Bakare, has expressed concern over what she described as the lack of appreciation for the entertainment industry by those in leadership positions.

In a recent interview with Saturday Beats, the actress, who also serves as the Senior Special Assistant to Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, on Entertainment, Arts, Culture and Tourism, stated that entertainment remains an underutilised tool for economic growth.

She said, “We conducted our own research and discovered that the problem stems from those at the top. They tend to underrate the role of entertainment in national development. That is why we are coming up with fresh ideas and programmes to change that narrative.”

Speaking further, Bakare described herself as a trailblazer in the political space, stating her commitment to bridging the gap between entertainment and governance.

“I am a game changer, and I’m changing the game in politics. Entertainment should never be downplayed, especially given its economic value and the opportunities it presents,” she said.

Reflecting on the growth of Nollywood over the years, Bakare expressed satisfaction with the industry’s current state.

“It feels good and fulfilling. Years ago, when we were asked where we saw ourselves in five to eight years, this was the vision. It’s happening now, and I’m really thankful,” she added.
