While speaking about the biopic, Seun Oloketuyi restated what he has pointed out as the reason for making the biopics he has worked on with the major reason being telling stories of people relevant to the country’s political history.
“Many of the people that are relevant to our political history as a nation are being forgotten, and no one is going to help us remember them. This is my bit to ensure that it doesn’t happen. Adedibu made too much of an impact to allow memories of his time to be forgotten.”
The biopic is set for a July 2022 release.
