Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has expressed heartfelt gratitude following the premiere of her latest movie, The Return of Arinzo, held on Sunday, March 29, 2026.
Despite ongoing drama between fellow actresses Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham at the event, Iyabo focused on celebrating the success of her movie launch. She took to social media to thank everyone who contributed to the event, including organisers, co-executive producers, actors, crew members, PR and glam teams, media, vendors, event planners, and her entire team.
She also extended appreciation to guests, celebrities, content creators, comedians, musicians, friends, family, and fans who attended, bought tickets, created content, prayed, danced, and celebrated the premiere with her.
“I want to start by giving thanks to God Almighty for making the premiere launch of The Return of Arinzo a beautiful success. I won’t mention names as this write-up won’t be enough, but know that I appreciate every single one of you. I’m standing on all existing protocols and saying thank you,” Iyabo wrote.
The actress announced that The Return of Arinzo will officially hit cinemas nationwide on April 3, 2026, urging fans to spread the word. Her calm and appreciative tone has helped shift focus back to her work amid the buzz surrounding the tension between Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.
