Emeka Ike lacks pedigree, He's An Attention Seeker - Segun Arinze

The last is yet to be heard of the age long crisis that has rocked the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN). In the last few months, top shots and other members of the guild have battled with unending court cases from different sections. 

Popular actor, Emeka Ike had instituted a suit against embattled AGN head, Ibinabo Fiberesima that the election process that brought her into office for the second time was conducted against a court order. 

Speaking with a source, top actor, Segun Arinze who is a past president of AGN said Emeka Ike who has publicly declared himself as the head of the guild is an attention seeker who is convinced on what is best for him.

“I don’t want to trade words with him because he lacks pedigree. Emeka Ike was never AGN President. The media should stop giving him attention because he is just an attention seeker who wants to be in the news for the wrong reasons. If he wants to head the guild, let him go through the right process. The process is, get the form, go through the required screening, then contest for the elections when certified. It is when he becomes victorious at the election process he can then declare himself as the president of AGN,”  


“He has been claiming to be the AGN president since I left as the head of the guild in 2011 before Ibinabo came in. Why didn’t he purchase the forms to contest elections then? This is how he will continue till Ibinabo’s tenure expires next year and another individual will emerge president. He is hallucinating and he needs to wake up from his slumber,” he further stated. 

On the court’s declaration on Ibinabo’s election, Segun said “there is no problem with that. The court said the guild should return to status quo which in military parlance means ‘to return to normal or as it is’. Ibinabo still remains president and her tenure expires next year.”
