Kogi Governor's Biopic 'Yahaya The White Lion' To Premiere Tomorrow
A biopic of Governor
Yahaya Bello
of Kogi State titled, “Yahaya the White Lion”, is set to premiere to a select
audience of 200 persons on Saturday at the Transcorp Hotel, Abuja.
Seun Oloketuyi, Producer of the biopic, disclosed this during an interview on Thursday in Lagos.
He said the biopic titled, “Yahaya the White Lion”, chronicled his life and achievements so far.
“Many times as Africans, we tell the stories of our heroes, our people and our leaders long after they are gone, when it is no longer of relevance to them. This, in many ways, prevents people from learning the lessons of history.
“Gov. Yahaya Bello has changed that standard as a movie chronicling his life and achievements so far has been made and is set to premiere on Saturday, January 22 at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
“We made this biopic not just to entertain as films do, but to put history on record.
“And we could not have done it at a better time, as our actors had the opportunity to draw inspiration from the real-life characters without having to base their knowledge on second-hand tales,” he said.
