“GOVERNOR’S PLEA” REVIEW

Governor’s Plea is quite a story to watch. It offers a portrayal of the profound depths of evil that can ensnare an individual when succumbing to the devil’s influence. Particularly within the political sphere, Senator, portrayed by Jide Ogunmilade, relentlessly pursues political power at any cost, leaving viewers to question whether the price he pays is truly worth it.”

Accompanied by Nike Owah’s Abike who delivers a stellar performance, she emerges as the shining light of Governor’s Plea. Notably, Owah successfully embodies the role of Mama Gbenro in the Abattoir series, a significantly older character; yet here, she excels in her portrayal of the anti-hero. Credit is due to the makeup artist and costumier, whose work contributes to making Abike’s character credible.

The film heavily relies on flashbacks to gradually unveil Abike’s background and significant past events. The twist presented at a certain point in Governor’s Plea is solid, and the film’s runtime is deemed appropriate, although some road scenes could have been omitted. Similarly, the opening scene invests too much time, action and dialogue that seem less relevant to the overarching story. The theme song, played from the outset, fails to align with the story’s actual direction, setting misleading expectations.

Governor’s Plea serves as a poignant wake-up call for the electorate, highlighting the consequences of allowing stylish bribes to dictate political choices. Additionally, it offers valuable insights for Christians who wish to delve into that arena without compromise.
