It’s a major thing for me. It’s an important event for me. This is the first time your girl, Bisola Aiyeola is co-producing a movie," she said.

"I have added a new title to my name; actor, singer, host and now producer. I’m really excited. I can’t wait for you all to watch what we are cooking."

ITK is directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Biodun Stephen and co-produced by Winifred Okpapi with Adeoluwa Owu as Director of Photography.

The movie unravels around the Kuju siblings who are tricked by their youngest sister into visiting the village (Badagry) for a remembrance of their late mother five years after the death of their mother. The loss of their matriarch left a gaping hole in the family due to her role as a unifying factor. The tension between the siblings was underestimated as they soon found out.

According to Winifred Okpapi, project manager and co-producer, the cast selection of the movie is a big win that viewers would resonate with.
