Speaking about their mission on coming to the city, Iyabo Ojo said, “Tayo Faniran and Olumide Oworu, will be available at the cinemas here in Ibadan for a meet-and-greet with fans, alongside myself, Abazee and Alaba. We shot the film here so it’s a special place for us.” Abayomi Olukanmi added, “I’m from Ibadan so this is also a homecoming for me, and I’m happy that we got to show a part of Nigeria that people don’t usually see on the big screen.”
