An action-packed political thriller produced by Dr. Rotimi Adelola and starring actors such as Akin Lewis, Lateef Adedimeji, Bimbo Oshin, Dele Odule, Taiwo Ibikunle and many other talented thespians, ‘The New Patriot’ is set to hit the screens soon.

The movie which was directed by Adebayo Tijani and Terry Ayebo talks about how the youths are disenchanted with the mismanagement, bad governance and endemic corruption in their tiny country – Republic of Aruguna, a colony of a big populous 3rd world country.

A covert team of vibrant youths led by Lateef Adedimeji, hide its identity and deploys unorthodox strategy to tackle the mindless, corrupt and deadly power brokers in the Republic of Aruguna. This unorthodox strategy creates tension nationwide.

Ultimately, the youths snatch the lever of political power from the old folks and elect a female youth as the new President of the Republic of Aruguna.

According to the producer, Rotimi Adelola, “The New Patriots is an engaging movie, entertaining and is designed to be a catalyst for social change.”
