The movie industry in the next few weeks will witness the birth of a new movie that has become the talk of the town. It will be presented on Thursday, November 28, 2019.
Apart from emerging as one movie that many people are anticipating its release, it was gathered that it would also put the industry on the map as brains behind the movie revealed.
Entitled Tenants of the House, the movie, which parades some of notable names in the movie industry was produced by a former member of House of Representatives, Dr Wale Okediran, a fictional adaptation of his stay in the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
In a statement released by Okediran, the premiere of the movie directed by award-winning movie maker and director, Kunle Afolayan would be premiered at the Sheraton Hotel, Abuja on Thursday, November 28, 2019.
According to Okediran, an author, politician and now a movie maker, the movie dwells on the need for a peaceful resolution of the pervasive herders/farmers crisis in the country just as it would also provide amicable solution to the crisis.
“It is believed that the theme of the Film which is on the need for a peaceful resolution of the pervasive Herders/Farmers crisis in the country will go a long way in finding an amicable solution to the crisis which is widespread in the country and in some African countries.
“The Film was produced by my organisation; Premero Consults and parades an array of talents such as Kunle Afolayan as Director as well as several notable Nollywood and Kanny wood actors and actresses. “
According to Okediran, guests expected at the premiere include, political and community leaders, government officials, members of the private sector and diplomatic corps, NGOs as well as those of development partners.
The premiere according to him would also throw up a panel discussion as “it is hoped that the discussion will assist in proposing a road map for solving the perennial herders/farmers problem in some parts of Africa using the film as a tool for conflict resolution,” he said.
Members of the panel of discussants include: Professor Ibrahim Gambari (CHAIRMAN); Professor Wole Soyinka; Profesor Chidi Odinkalu; Dr Kayode Fayemi, Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai; Dr Andrew Kwasari (National Livestock Transformation Plan) Innocent Chukuma (Ford Foundation), Uche Nwuka (Bank Of Industry) Rasheedat Okoduwa (ICPC), Kemi Okenyodo (Nigeria Policing Program), Hidayat Hassan (CDD) and the Representative of the US Embassy.
