Comic actor John Okafor popularly known as Mr Ibu has
asked AGN president Ibinabo Fiberisima to drop her
ambition of running for a second term. According to him,
about 90% of the association members do not want her as
their leader, with many court cases being instituted against
her. He says she is still adamant to rule because she is
gaining something.
"Going for a second term is making the anger in people
expand. It is better for her not to come again. She
should leave the office and allow another person to try.
No progress at all. I am not part of it. As I speak with
you, Ibinabo has about two to three court cases. We are
tired, we want another person. We should try a new
person, let's see what he or she would do. About 90%
of the people she is ruling say no, but she insisted.
Why? Because she is gaining something" he told
Encomium magazine this week.
When asked about his assessment of the movie industry,
he said
"If I should talk about the movie industry you would
make me shout because the industry is giving me
headache. I am not happy at all. I believe we are
matured enough to be independent. As big as AGN is
we don't have a national headquarters, I mean a film
village. Go to other countries in Africa, they have most
of these facilities but we have not been able to achieve
these because of greed. All the money promised by
President Jonathan and other state Government, what
have they done with it? Whether it has been collected
or not we don't know. It is very painful considering the
number of years we have been in existence" he said
