Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has been left emotional over a grand gesture from her producer, Efe Irele.
The movie star, who played a lead role in the upcoming movie, My Mother Is A Witch, had attended the movie premiere on Sunday night, May 17th.
In a video she posted online, Efe had surprised the AMVCA best supporting actress with a flower bouquet after the premiere. Mercy, who shared clips of the adorable moment, described it as the event’s highlight.
She noted how she did something right and expressed gratitude to Efe for the moment. She also gave a shout-out to the movie director, writers, and her co-cast.
