The film, which hit cinemas nationwide on Friday, October 17, has already sparked conversations for its audacious portrayal of Nigeria’s political landscape — a world where loyalty, power, and personal ambition collide in explosive fashion.
Written as a satire but delivered with gripping realism, THE EXCO captures the intrigues surrounding gubernatorial elections in Nigerian states, exposing the high-stakes bargaining, subterfuge, and even mystical undertones that shape outcomes behind closed doors. The film features an A-list Nollywood cast, including Norbert Young, Deyemi Okanlawon, Bimbo Akintola, Oshodi Oke, and Femi Branch, among a host of others, who bring to life the scheming, manipulation, and quiet power struggles that define the corridors of authority. The unseen hands of political spouses also emerge as silent influencers, often tilting the balance in moments of critical decision-making at The EXCO.
Beyond its compelling storyline, THE EXCO stands out for its sharp dialogue, stellar performances, and thought-provoking commentary on governance and morality. It is a mirror to Nigeria’s political reality — entertaining yet unsettling, humorous yet hauntingly true. With its nationwide cinema release now underway, the film promises to be a major talking point and a must-watch for lovers of authentic Nigerian storytelling.
