A US-based Nigerian filmmaker, Pascal Atuma, has sent his warm message to Muhammadu Buhari, who emerged winner of the 2015 presidential election in Nigeria.

The popular movie producer described Buhari as the best option for the country, commending the decision of Nigerians to give the former dictator a second chance to rule.

“At this moment in time, Gen Buhari is the best option for Nigeria and I am happy that the good and wonderful citizens of Nigeria did the right thing, they have spoken and their voice did the job. I am happy that Gen Buhari will be leading us for the next four years and I believe he will do a fantastic job.”

“I also want to remind the new President to take care of Nollywood, support Nollywood at all cost and levels and remember that Nollywood flies the flag of Nigeria positively across the globe and that we all supported him from day one because we knew he was the best for us and is the best for us. Together we will move Nigeria forward in a positive direction,” he added.

Atuma also congratulated the Silverbird Group Chairman, Ben Murray Bruce, who will be going to the senate in 2015.

“I know Mr Ben very well and what he stands for, so with people like him now in the seat of power and involved in decision making the future of Nigeria is bright, brighter than it has ever been, it is a beautiful season for Nigeria, season of great hope, I am happy and excited and looking forward to the new Nigeria, full of hope and development,” he said.
