Ibinabo Fiberesima says Emeka Ike wants to exploit new AGN members
President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, AGN,
Ibinabo Fiberesima-Egbuka, has insisted that
she is still the president of the union and not
Emeka Ike, who was rumoured to have
dethroned her.
The actress stated clearly that there is no
resentment of any sort in the guild, noting that
as far as she is concerned, Emeka Ike tried
everything he could to get on that position “as
low as he is” and that since there had been no
election where he took part in, he is in no way
the President of the guild.
According to her, “There is no rancor in the
guild. You see people get confused with tell
tales, people just like lies. Did you ever go for
an election where Emeka Ike took part in?
“So how is he the president of AGN? That’s the
only question I have for the press because you
are giving him audience to talk. Did he run for
any position in Actors Guild of Nigeria? No he
didn’t!”
“We have tried to settle things between Emeka
Ike and I, but it all fell on deaf ears,” the ex-
beauty queen told New Telegraph.
On what went wrong between them, Ibinabo
said, “Emeka Ike is not about running a guild;
it’s about how much he can make from poor
people that want to join the guild.
“You see that N5, 000 or N20, 000 they make?
That’s salary and food for him. I’m so sorry but
that’s just how low he is.”
When asked if they were friends, she said, “He
is not! You see, he was once my friend but he is
not any more. You don’t have a friend and do
what he is doing. It doesn’t work. You must
learn to grow, I have grown. They must learn to
grow too.
“There was chaos in AGN before I came in, but
since I took over, there has been peace.
Members have started gaining things and they
have come again with chaos. When will it stop?
Let’s think of our members for once and stop
thinking of ourselves.
“By the way, I don’t think I am still the president
of the AGN, I know,” the ‘Mortal Sin’ thespian
affirmed.
