Ibinabo Fiberesima insists she is still AGN president

Ibinabo Fiberisima-Egbuka says she remains the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria regardless of the Lagos High court ruling on March 16th that invalidated her October 2014 reappointment. She explained that she will be appealing the judgement and until her appeal is granted, she will continue as the President of the Guild.

In her words, she said, “People have been calling me on the phone to say that Emeka Ike is the new president of the AGN. But this is not true. The court did not say that he is now president. It said there was a status quo that forbade us from holding elections. We are appealing that, because we cannot wait four whole years for the court’s judgement on that issue. I remain president of the guild until my appeal is heard”.
