Lateef Adedimeji has received an award from the Dallas International Yoruba Movies Awards (DIYMA) for his role in Ayinla.
Adedimeji was presented the award recently by Mr and Mrs Kogberegbe, the CEOs of DIYMA, during a “Meet & Greet” event organised in honour of him and his wife, Adebimpe, in Dallas, Texas, United States of America.
Adedimeji expressed his happiness for the harvest of awards that ‘Ayinla’ is attracting months after it was released.
“I am proud and happy that ‘Ayinla” keeps getting the recognition and the accolades that it deserves.
“Thank you so much, Dallas International Yoruba Movie Awards (DIYMA). God bless you. Okay, guys, let us keep working; more to come”, he said.
Adedimeji will be officially honoured at the DIYMA award night, set to take place on June 25 in Lagos.
According to the organisers of the awards, “DIYMA recognises outstanding crafts and celebrates the same as the opportunity presents itself.
“The interpretation and representation of late Ayinla Omowura (eegunmogaji) in the eponymous musical film presents a rare nostalgic experience that only the professionalism of Lateef and Dr Tunde Kelani can offer,” DIYMA CEOs noted.
