PRESS RELEASE
''Smarting from his
victory at the federal high court on March 16, 2015 Amb. Emeka Ike
president of Actors Guild of Nigeria is set to unveil a new board of
trustees for the Guild
A
statement signed by the National PRO Mcsmith Ochendo said that the new
board of trustees is made of men and women of repute drawn from the six
Geo-political zone of the country.
The
15-man Board which shall be inaugurated in May is made of erudite
politicians, Business moguls, the academia and the entertainment
industry - Nollywood.
“When
the full names of the newly constituted Board of Trustees are finally
made public the industry will be proud of the men and women who have
made their mark in their various fields of Endeavor. Take it from me,
AGN is now global brand and can no longer be run like a personal
enterprise by a few” Ochendo said
A
federal high court sitting in Lagos had dissolved the Ifeanyi Dike led
Board of trustees for running the affairs of the Guild since inception.
Speaking further the AGN National PRO said...
“We
want to appeal to the Nigerian Media to stop referring and relating to
Ibinabo as president of AGN, because she has been sacked by the federal
high court. Ibinabo Fiberesima cannot be bigger than the laws of our
land. She is violating a court Judgement and the media should stop
indulging her. As at today there is no proof that Ibinabo fiberesima
has filled any appeal but she keeps spreading falsehood on social media.
The
court is not swayed by social media propaganda. The Federal high court
gave her ninety days to surrender the Guild’s documents in her
possession and the court also ruled that the Guild’s account should be
audited but Ibinabo is using thugs and cultists to harass our President,
Amb. Emeka Ike and auditors sent to audit the Guild’s account as
instructed by the federal high court.
To
this end we have filed contempt of court against Ibinabo fiberesima for
violating court judgment and deceiving the Nigerian public. We are also
asking the court to grant us order to immediately arrest Ibinabo and
bring her to Judgement once and for all. We have also decided to write
to the EFCC to investigate her financial misappropriation. Remember this
is the same Ibinabo Fiberesima who was convicted in a case of
man-slaughter between her and the government of Lagos State a few years
back where she caused the death of Dr Suraj Giwa, a US trained doctor
via drinking and dangerous driving and was sentenced to 5 years in
prison before Hon. Justice D.O Oluwayemi with suit NO LD/4CA/07.
She
has not shown any remorse, she has not served her jail term. She is an
ex-convict. She ought not to be AGN president, even our guild’s
constitution forbids it but Ifeanyi Dike and his moribund BOT
shamelessly plunged the guild into this mess until the court did the
needful by sacking the Jezebel of Nollywood” Ochendo concludes.
