‘Last Man Standing’,
the biopic on President Bola Tinubu, is scheduled to premiere in Lagos on
June 12.
In a statement on Saturday, Seun Oloketuyi, the executive
producer of the Best of Nollywood (BON) Awards, said the development followed
after the successful premiere of the movie in Abuja.
Oloketuyi said Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos, will
host the movie premiere in the state alongside selected number of
businessmen and politicians.
The movie premiered in Abuja on May 26.
At the event, Barau Jibrin, chairman of senate committee on
appropriation, said Nigerians should be grateful to the producers for their
efforts to document history for the youth.
Jibrin said doing this would motivate and inspire a lot of
politicians and young people.
‘Last Man Standing’ was directed by Tunde Olaoye.
The project features several movie stars including Lateef
Adedimeji, Gbenga Adeyinka, Jide Kosoko, Madam Kofo, Shushu Abubakar, Segun
Arinze, and Sam Olatunji.
Adedimeji,
who acted in the role of the president, had previously disclosed that he was
scared to play the movie role.
“Asiwaju is not a mere politician, he is a stakeholder, a
man with a lot going on around him, lots of controversies happening at the same
time,” he had said.
“This is somebody that is alive. Someone that can sit and
watch you play him, and if you don’t get it right he will say so eventually. It
was a lot of work.”
