Akin Olu-Philips, the director of the movie, said the motion picture is an attempt to share with the general public a compacted presentation of some of the life’s experiences that moulded the person of Ogbeni.

“I believe the film will guide the public to have a better understanding of his person and be inspired thereby,” Olu-Philips said.

Razaaque Animashaun, the flick’s Executive Producer, noted that “Adesoji” is intended as a motivating material which highlights Ogbeni’s struggle to claim back his mandate for three and a half years, his successes and achievement in the last three years in the State of Osun.

“Most importantly, the film is to show that our country can actually produce such a visionary leader,” Animashaun said.

He said further: “Whilst as a Commissioner of Works in his base in Lagos, the spirit of his people at home continually cried for his attention and salvation like their forefathers sought from the great Oranmiyan of his genealogy. He initially tried to avoid this great challenge but the Oranmiyan in him became restless. Thus, he honoured the call of destiny in order to save his kinsmen. It took him three years and some months to claim back the masses’ mandate given to him against all threats. Vision is the product of purpose, it is the source of true leadership.”
