the leadership of Nigeria’s booming movie industry Nollywood, a body
reputed to be the third largest entertainment platform in the world went
into a crisis after its President, newly married Mrs. Ibinabo Uche
Egbuka was sacked by a High Court Judge, Justice James Tsoho in a suit
filed by an actor, St. Maradona Mikevine who was the national
treasurer in the election that produced another popular actor, Emeka Ike
as AGN President.
to all the drama star actor Desmond Elliot, who’s also warming up as
the APC candidate in the forthcoming Lagos House of Assembly elections
for Surulere Constituency 2, frowned at the plots to remove the hard
working lady who he believes has done so much to lift up the image of
Nollywood.
the handsome actor, Desmond Elliot is of the APC fold while the
embattled Actors’ Guild of Nigeria president Ibinabo has been working
closely and assiduously with other top actors for the
incumbent president’s re-election but that
notwithstanding, Desmond is of the opinion that, there’s no need
changing the winning team for just a flimsy selfish reason.
“Firstly,
we appreciate the laws of this country and believe so much in this
nation, but however, we have seen the marked changes and ray of hopes
Ibinabo has brought into the guild, it’s just a trying time, I see her
triumphing at the end which goes out to show that, whatever the case,
good deeds shall always overrule evil in any pursuit of greatness.
Let me
reiterate that relevance is not by going to the law court but by your
little contribution to the growth of this industry, time and history
will not forgive those who have benefited in terms of popularity and
financial gains and have done nothing other than join heads to cause
chaos in our industry, we know who’s who, we know those who meant well
for this industry and we must not allow them to put spanner in the
works. But God is with Ibinabo in this fight, Nigeria is with her.
Desmond is with you and together we shall free this guild and make it a
stronger union for the future generations of the unborn entertainers” he
concluded.
