President Tinubu Biography Premiere In Lagos
The biopic ‘Last Man Standing’ about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had its Lagos debut last Friday at the Glover Memorial Hall in Lagos, thanks to Ultimate Communications, the film’s producers.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos, who was represented by Mr. Jaiye Opayemi, the deputy speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, Hon. Mojisola Ojora Meranda, the former commissioner of police for the state of Lagos, AIG Hakeem Odumosu, the head of Corporate Pictures, Alhaji Abdullahi Abdulrasaq, and Dr. Abisoye Fagade were all in attendance.
According to Ultimate Communications boss, Seun Oloketuyi, the film, which had previously premiered in Abuja is a biographical film of the flow of events during the tenure of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his eight-year tenure as the governor of Lagos State.
Speaking at the event, Sanwo-Olu’s representative, Opayemi said “Lagos State is not just Africa’s entertainment capital; Lagos is indeed the bastion of entertainment, it is the place where we export the very best of creativity to the rest of the world.
“I appreciate everyone who have put this biopic together in recognition and celebration of my boss, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
According to the executive producer, Dr. Fagade, the film might seem very patronising due to current realities.
“When Seun Oloketuyi conceived this idea, the man called Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not even in top three in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in terms of projection and perception.
“I realise that there is no better way to contribute my own quota to the history of this country by documenting this.”
Several cast members, including Lateef Adedimeji, Shushu Abubakar, Madam Kofo Kofoworola Atanda, Foluke Daramola, Segun Arinze, Gbenga Adeyinka, Jide Kosoko, and Sam Olatunji, were also present.
Dr. Shaibu Husseini, Zeb Ejiro, and Adebimpe Adedimeji are just a few of the other guests.
Nigerian music icon, David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has made a public declaration about his personal growth and commitment to fidelity, stating that he’s done with cheating.
In a recent interview on the Breakfast Club podcast, the Afrobeats star spoke candidly about his past and how personal experiences have reshaped his outlook on relationships.
“I’m not cheating again. I don’t want wahala. I don’t want any wahala. I have five kids with four women,” Davido admitted, shedding light on his journey toward a more disciplined and peaceful lifestyle.

He reflected on the influence of family, particularly the polygamous experiences of two of his uncles. “My uncle that’s a governor has two wives. Another of my uncles: all his wives lived with him, and they played with each other. But upon all the money, there’s still wahala,” he explained.
Davido suggested that witnessing the emotional and logistical complications in those homes helped him make up his mind.
“Maybe because I’ve had bad experiences. Sometimes experience is the best teacher,” he added.
