In the movie, Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyongo’s daughter Lupita Nyong'o starred and played a leading role.

Through his Facebook page on Friday, Raila noted that achievements of African actors globally had made Africa proud.

Odinga further called on everyone to celebrate the achievements of African actors and actresses.

Below is his full message:

"The achievements of African actors globally exemplify the skillsets we as a people possess and make us proud. 

When we set our minds and efforts to achieving lofty goals we attain them like everyone else, many times surpassing expectations thus there is no justification in this day and age for anyone to misguidedly patronize us as a people. 

I was very happy and proud to attend the premier screening of the Black Panther Movie in which one of our very own, Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyongo’s daughter Lupita starred and played a leading role in. 

Let us all celebrate the achievements of African actors and actresses and thank them for putting us on the global map."
