The National Secretary, Actors Guild
of Nigeria (AGN), Femi Durojaiye, has asked Ibinabo Fiberesima-Egbuka, to obey
a court order and relinquish the position of President of the body to Nollywood
actor, Emeke Ike.
A statement issued on Thursday in
Lagos by Durojaiye said that Fiberesima-Egbuka should step down as the
president while Emeka Ike takes over.
It would be recalled that Ike and
Fiberesima-Egbuka had been involved in a feud over who should occupy the position
of the president of the AGN.
The statement read: “The Federal
High Court sitting in Lagos at the application and argument of counsel to the
Actors Guild of Nigeria, Mr Peter Andor Oboyi, struck out Ibinabo and the Board
of Trustees’ (BoT) suit challenging the nullification of her election.
“The implication of this judgment is
that the Emeka Ike- led executive council remains the only authentic and lawful
leaders of Actors Guild of Nigeria.
“The Honourable Court vehemently
reiterated the position of the judicial authority that, Ibinabo
Fiberesima-Egbuka, her purported executive council members and the Board of
Trustees (BoT) vacate forthwith the office of AGN both at the National and
State levels.
“Accordingly, they should surrender
all AGN assets in their possessions to the incumbent, Emeka Ike’s Government.’’
