After eight months of contest
over the rightful leader of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, the National Secretary
of the AGN, Femi Durojaiye has announced that actor Emeka Ike will now be the
new President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, following a court ruling that
stripped actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima of her position, he claimed.
She was removed from the position after a Federal High Court
sitting in Lagos ruled on March 23, 2016, that Ike will now take the rein of power
after a long legal battle, Durojaiye said. His statement to the press also reads;
"The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos, this morning
23/3/2016 at the application and argument of Counsel to Actors Guild of
Nigeria, Barr. Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo’s and BOT suit challenging
the nullification of her election to the Presidency of AGN and also challenging
the legitimacy of the Presidency of Emeka Ike and his Exco. The implication of
this judgement is that Engr. Emeka Ike led Exco remain the only authentic and
lawful leaders of Actors Guild of Nigeria."
