The author, filmmaker and founder of the Best of Nollywood Awards explained that the movie is to put history on record.

While principal photography had kicked off in the third week of September 2021 in different locations around Kogi State including Lokoja, and Lagos State, the movie trailer, released in December saw film lovers, applaud the choice of a stellar cast.

Governor Yahaya Bello was played by the unrivalled Ali Nuhu with Roseanne Chikwendu as Rashidat Bello, Kogi State First Lady.

Directed by Tunde Laoye, ‘Yahaya the White Lion’ stars, other industry notables like Gbenga Adeyinka D 1st, Aishat Lawal, Remote and others.

On what audiences can you expect from the film, Oloketuyi shared that. “This movie is an attempt to bring out the facts on the man, his background, growth and rise in politics and his ambition. It is basically to set the record straight about the gentleman, and make sure history has the right facts.”
