Co-Produced by Sarah Ifidon and directed by renowned Nigerian filmmaker Sampson-Afolabi Johnson, popularly known as Osmosis, The Presidency follows the gripping journey of Ireti, a gubernatorial candidate for the nation’s leading political party. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she is recruited by the Progressive Circle—a shadowy organization led by her estranged son—to run for president under a fledgling party. Now thrust into a fierce political battle against the godfathers of her former party, Ireti must navigate the treacherous world of power and political intrigue while striving to mend her fractured relationship with her son.
