| AGN President, Ibinabo |
Comic actor John Okafor popularly
known as Mr Ibu has stated that incumbent president of Actors’ Guild of
Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima is unfit to lead the guild and should drop her
ambition of running for a second term.
According to Ibu, about 90% of the
association members do not want her as their leader, with many court cases
being instituted against her. He accused her of gunning for a second term for
personal benefits.
“Going for a second term is making
the anger in people expand. It is better for her not to come again. She should
leave the office and allow another person to try. No progress at all. As I
speak with you, Ibinabo has about two to three court cases. We are tired, we
want another person. We should try a new person, let’s see what he or she would
do. About 90% of the people she is ruling say no, but she insisted. Why?
Because she is gaining something” he told a weekly magazine in a story SHOWBIZPLUSng
monitored from Vanguard Online.
On his assessment of the movie
industry since Ibinabo took over, he said:
“If I should talk about the movie
industry you would make me shout because the industry is giving me headache. I
am not happy at all. I believe we are matured enough to be independent. As big
as AGN is we don’t have a national headquarters, I mean a film village. Go to
other countries in Africa, they have most of these facilities but we have not
been able to achieve these because of greed. All the money promised by
President Jonathan and other state Government, what have they done with it?
Whether it has been collected or not we don’t know. It is very painful considering
the number of years we have been in existence” he said
