In the heat of the crisis rocking Nigeria actors’ umbrella body, AGN (Actor Guild of Nigeria) after a High Court sacked the Guild’s president, Ibinabo Fiberesima, top actor turned politician, Desmond Elliot has joined voice with other reputable actors to condemn Emeka Ike and his group. He accused them of bringing confusion to the Guild.
Desmond Elliot who’s also warming up as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress-APC 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.
“Firstly, we appreciate the laws of this country and believe so much in this nation, however, we have seen the marked changes and ray of hopes Ibinabo has brought into the guild, it’s just a trying time but I see her triumphing at the end which goes to show that, whatever the case, good deeds shall always overrule evil in any pursuit of greatness.”
Continuing he said, “ 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, and I, Desmond Elliot is with her. Together we shall free this Guild and make it a stronger union for the future generations of the unborn entertainers” he concluded.
